I overclocked my 4690k to 4,4ghz @ 1.2v and it passed stability test with intelburntest, and my temps went up to 78c! (73-78 on different cores) thermalpaste change was like month ago with Arctic Silver 5 and I use hyper 212 evo cooler. Only at 1.2v i get this huge temps? Is this ok? I've read people use higher voltages and more extreme overclocks but they never reach these temps. Help? I've also read that anything under 85c is still ok but I'm worried because maybe this isnt normal?

78c at max is good considering the fact that your torture testing with IntelBurnTest. Your real-world temps should be lower.

BTW, the standard testing method nowadays is AIDA64 CPU+FPU. Also, do note that Haswell CPUs produce lots of heat. My 4770k produces 150W of heat.

If you're worried about your temps (which is fine till 85c at torture tests), you could consider using bigger coolers or changing to AIO water coolers with 240+ radiators.

Winter can lower them by 10-20c too. Nothing cools me down like 17c temps at idle.

the pc was pre built and bought it as used, so actually not sure how was the thermal paste applied. i should check it out then and see. also does that mean then that 1.2v temps should be much smaller?

Pretty much from my side, yes.
My xeon on stock cooler aluminium doesnt reach over 60*C in summer (32*C air temp) at 1.1V, and my i3 was hitting 80*C at same voltage, even I disabled EIST and other power saving features of xeon, I think it might need delid.
I mean this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html
Look section 1.

As I suggest wait for others also, try first re-applying thermal paste, then see if voltage isnt auto and that LLC (load line calibration is on).

Oh and last question, any airflow in case?
Sorry for spamming you.
