I have got my i5 4690k to 4.2ghz on 1.15v and I was wondering if I should overclock anymore. I'm looking to overclock to around 4.4ghz and i'm not sure if my temps are already too hot. My temps in aida 64 were 77 degrees after 10 minutes on load. I tested rome 2 on the highest settings and it hit 69 degrees max, also planetside 2 went up to 68. Also, i'm kinda new to overclocking so all I did was change the multipliers to 42 and voltage to adaptive with 1.15v

System Specs:
i5 4690k with h100i
gtx 970
asus z97k
650w Psu
2x4gb 2133mhz corsair ram
1tb hd

Be carefull with that 77ºC.. To be honest you should try to increase it a bit more just to know what's the limit of ur cpu in case that someday you need it overlocked in order to make it run games smoother.

Increase it to 4.3 and voltage to 1.65 and checkout temps on full load. If your pc restarts or appears a blue screen increase voltage by 0.05.
