4.4Ghz too much i5 4690K?

Hi!
I've run stable 4.3GHz Core, 3.5GHz Uncore with 1.9V VCCIN, 1.2V VCore, 1.13V Uncore(Ring) V, SA 0.864V, IODig 1.008V, PCH 1.05 1.056V.
It passed 2 hours of AIDA64, 30min of x264, 4 hours of games, 30min of P95 S, XTU bench test, so i belive it is solid stable.

But when it comes to overclock to 4.4GHz Core:
1.20 and 1.21VCore doesn't start Windows
1.22 fails (bsod) x264
1.23 pass 10-minutes x264, but fails P95 28.1 Small-FFTs (AVX)
1.24 pass 10-minutes x264, but fails P95 28.1 Small-FFTs

What i am doing wrong? Should i try bump more VCCIN or something else? Is it normal to bump Vcore in such increments only for 100MHz more? Or maybe i should toss using P95? Or maybe give up since it's not worth it?
 
Solution
You're not going to burn up your CPU with too high a voltage unless you're ridiculous about it. I personally wouldn't run my CPU that hot, so I would keep it at 4.3 because 4.4 for that much more heat isn't worth the trouble.

Prime95 is fine, and the ram shouldn't matter

Ok, so i've runed P95 S-FFT with 1.25V Core, it fails (BSOD) after 7 minutes, with worrying temps max 94 (avg 90), but still this is not 100c.

Ok, so i still have some voltage room (i think 1.3V is safe for 24/7 usage?), but possibly with 1.26V it will reach nearly or even 100C, should i try older P95 versions with non-AVX tests or other program?
I forgot to mention, i run all those test with 2133MHz 1.65V RAM, does it matters much?
