CPU-Z HWMonitor and Bios all reading different voltages?

Hey guys, I was overclocking my 6700k to 4.4ghz (with a 212 evo) and i'm pretty sure i got it stable at 1.34v on the Vcore. But in CPU-Z its reading my voltage as 1.236 and in HWmonitor its reading at the same underload. I've read that there not all going to be 100% accurate, but I just want your opinion on the whole situation. Also my VID keeps jumping from 1.353-1.389v. Iattatched some pictures to show. Also one last thing, I want to know if my temps are ok while under full load.
In the picture the temps looked a little high but they were usually around the 64-75c temp.

Have to know what you are reading. For example:

CPU Temp
CPU Package Temp
CPU Core Temp

then there's numerous voltages.... there's the voltage you "set" in the BIOS and the real voltage after all the BIOS functionality adds / adjust automatically. I set my voltage at 1.38 ... when AVX instructions are present it hovers around 1.44 to 1.48 and can jump to 1.50 for a few milliseconds.

HWiNFO lists them all, the one to be concerned about is Core temps ...look at 1st set of data with lightning bolts:

Suggest selecting 'sensors only" when HWiNFO loads

Never run 2 monitoring utilities at a time, it can cause errors.

BIOS temps / voltages will be wrong because none of Windows power saving features are enabled till you are **in** Windows.

The Evo should be OK for 4.4 ... you'll need something better for 4/7 / 4.8

1.34v is perty high for 4.4 Ghz .. with AVX you prolly seeing 1.45+

I don't like seeing 80C

Well that was when I was on Prime95 after a couple hours. Now I'm running the stability test on aida64 and my temps aren't going over 75, averaging in the 60s. Also in Aida it says that my CPU core is 1.272 and it's max was 1.332. Does that mean I can lower my voltage?
