Are these temps normal?

Yeap, perfectly normal! Nothing to worry about.
1.27 was leading to crashes during load in games.
I had to revert it back to 1.3 for now. Appreciate the assistance!
Have you considered lowering the Cache/ringbus ratio?
With a 3.5Ghz setting, I can reach significantly lower temps and achieve higher core overclocking.
To be honest, this is my first attempt at overclocking and I’m not sure what the settings mean. Should I adjust anything?
The cache/ringbus—different names on different boards—is essentially the CPU’s clock speed for accessing its local memory.
When you increase the core frequency, sometimes the cache automatically overclocks too, and instability usually starts there rather than in the core itself.
Benchmarks suggest a ratio between 3.5Ghz and 4.5Ghz has minimal impact on games or similar tasks for our processors (just remember to search online).
It’s generally advised to fix the cache ratio at around 35x (3.5Ghz) and keep the CACHE voltage set to Auto.
This tends to stabilize the cache while allowing the core more freedom to overclock, since you’re not constrained by cache stability.
You’re doing great—thank you! I was struggling a lot with this but after adjusting the ring ratio to 3.5 I managed to keep it steady at 1.285. I’ll try going lower next time. Thanks again.
1.285 seems quite high for 4.4Ghz on a 4690k, I can run mine at [email protected] stable, which needs around 1.190. Maybe I just got lucky with the silicone lottery, but I know it's not advised to push a devils canyon beyond 1.3v
