Are these temps normal?
Are these temps normal?
I've boosted my i5-4690k to 4.4 Ghz @1.27V. During stress tests, the temperature fluctuated a lot, similar to how my emotions shift while playing League of Legends.
I'll share a screenshot below—was this typical?

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 Cache/ringbus ratio of 3.5Ghz, I can reach significantly lower temps and higher core overclocking.
To be honest, this is my first overclock attempt and I’m not sure what the settings are doing. What adjustments should I make?
The cache/ringbus (named differently depending on the board) refers to the clock speed your CPU uses to access its local memory.
When you increase the core frequency, in certain situations it can automatically overclock the cache...

Yes, everything is fine! No need to be concerned.
1.27 was leading to crashes during load in games.
I had to revert it back to 1.3 temporarily. Appreciate the advice!
Have you considered lowering the Cache/ringbus ratio?
With a Cache/ringbus ratio of 3.5Ghz, I can reach much cooler temps and higher core overclocking.

The cache/ringbus—different names on different boards—is essentially the clock speed your CPU uses to access its local memory.
When you increase the core frequency, sometimes it automatically boosts the cache as well. In some scenarios, the cache becomes the source of instability first, not the core.
Benchmarks indicate that a ratio between 3.5Ghz and 4.5Ghz has minimal impact on games or similar applications for our processors (just remember where I found this—search Google).
It’s generally advised to fix the Cache ratio at 35x (3.5Ghz) and keep the CACHE voltage set to Auto.
Using this approach tends to stabilize the cache while allowing the core to overclock further, since you’re not constrained by cache stability.
