78/79 degrees i7 6700k OC to 4.4 ghz works fine?
Just checking if these temperatures are within acceptable ranges.
Voltage 1.3 is the default auto setting.
At 4.4 GHz under stress testing with OCCT CPU at full load, my CPU reaches around 78/79°C.
With XMP enabled, it stays at 78/79°C; if XMP is off and running memory at 2133 MHz, it drops to about 70/71°C.
Everything seems normal.
As Jos said, the temps are fine, but they seem really hot to me... I would think that your temps should be lower...
Have you considered lowering the voltage. I run my 6700k at 4.6 at 1.23 and it is typically about 60c max under load. I have a corsair H110i; very similar setup to you...

Yeah, I have a similar configuration (I7 6700k, Corsair H100i). I keep the CPU at 4.2 with 1.26 and I get around 65 c when gaming, reaching about 75 c at max. But how did you manage to run at 4.6 GHz with just 1.23? If I do that, my PC would crash under full load.
I got lucky in the silicon lottery... My chip will go to 5.0 ghz but I start to get into voltages and temps that I'm not comfortable running with on a day to day basis...
It is the absolute lowest my chip can go at 4.6 though... It's actually like 1.232 or something like that... I messed with it until I could get it as low as possible cause I was running at 4.8 at 1.34 and I was getting temps in the mid 70's to even the low 80's... Which is why I dialed it back and sit cool now... At 5.0 ghz I had to run it at 1.44 and I was hitting the high 80's... Too high for me to be happy...
I don't know if it makes a difference, but I use tuniq tx-4 thermal paste. I read an article where they compared thermal pastes and the top three (in which tuniq was the best) made a 4c total difference from the lowest 3... Since I've had so much success with it, I'm pretty sold on the stuff.
Also, come to think about it, the H110i is a 280 mm radiator verses the h100i you guys are using, which is a 240 I believe... Perhaps the extra radiator volume makes a difference... I also have the two corsair fans pushing into my radiator, but I also have two 200mm fans pulling on the other side, so it is a lot of air moving through that thing... Well technically 1 and a 1/2 200mm fans since the pretty much cover the top of my case and they are bigger than the radiator...

I had a good shot in the silicon lottery... My chip will reach 5.0 ghz but I start to encounter voltages and temperatures that aren't quite right for everyday use...
It's actually the lowest my chip can go at 4.6 though... It's around 1.232 or something like that... I adjusted it until I could make it as low as possible because I was running at 4.8 at 1.34 and temperatures were in the mid 70s to low 80s. That's why I slowed it down and kept it cool now... At 5.0 ghz I had to lower it to 1.44 and I was hitting the high 80s... Too high for me...
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using tuniq tx-4 thermal paste. I saw an article comparing thermal pastes and the top three (where tuniq performed best) showed a 4c difference from the lowest three... Since I've had such good results, I'm convinced.
Also, considering the H110i has a 280 mm radiator compared to the h100i you're using, which is probably around 240... Maybe the extra radiator space helps... I also have two Corsair fans pushing into my radiator, and two 200mm fans on the other side, so a lot of airflow through it... Technically, it's about one and a half 200mm fans since they mostly cover the top of my case and are bigger than the radiator...
i need an aio for my 6700k i running at 85-86c on air oc'd to 4.7 vcore: 1.35 just something i've been working on since summer i don't want any issues with my cpu so i think i'm going to bring it down to 4.5 with 1.280 vcore

I've been working on this since summer and don't want any issues with my CPU, so I'm planning to bring it down to 4.5 with 1.280 vcore. Well... I'd definitely suggest the Corsair H110i. You just have to check what radiator size your case can support...

I’m looking for an AIO for my 6700k. I run at 85-86°C on air, OC’d to 4.7 volts and 1.35 watts. I’ve been working on this since summer and don’t want any issues with the CPU. I think I’ll lower it to 4.5 with 1.280 volts.
Well... I’d really suggest the Corsair H110i... I found mine on sale. Just make sure your case can handle the radiator size...
