78 is not that bad. Haswell chips are all over the place in terms of OC ability and heat. When you start getting into the high 80's, then I would be concerned.

I run burn in test and it sits between 55-69 for 30 mins, occasionally peaks @ 78 but only stay there for a second or so ... I was coming from an ivy and my 3770k sits from 43-59 and peaks 65 ... Damn im now regretting changing that processor 🙁

Don't. Haswell inherently runs hotter, but their baseline speeds are higher than Ivy Bridge.

Whats your temp on 4.6?

The hottest I've seen it go at full load is about 71°C, but then my cooler is a beast 😛

Nice what cooler do you use?
