The i5-4690k runs smoothly at 75°C, which is acceptable.

I managed to reach 4.4Ghz at 2.00v, but it only stays at 72°C when fully loaded on prime95. It usually stays between 69-70 °C. So far, the highest I’ve achieved is 4.3ghz with 1.25v, reaching about 75 °C. I’m checking if this temperature is safe under full load with Prime95. I use the Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 and hope to hit 4.5ghz, though I think a better cooler might be necessary.
Using your existing cooling method, I recommend reducing the voltage and achieving a temperature below 70°C. Also, decrease the multiplier when the voltage decreases.
The 75°C temperature is too high for that CPU. To increase performance, you'll need to lower the temperatures and use a more effective cooler.
the current temperature is elevated for that CPU. To push it further, you'll need to reduce the temperatures and use a superior cooler. Should I adjust the voltage and multiplier slightly to achieve lower temps, or would maintaining 4.3ghz be sufficient? I don't want to risk damaging the CPU.
