Which CPU voltages effects the temperatures ?

Because i overclocked my i5 4670k from stock to 4.4 ghz with voltages :

1.230v fixed
and 1.760

Idle temps seems fine 33 to 36 degrees , but when i open prime95 and stretch test it jumps up to 90degrees.

Cooler is coolermaster v6gt.

And should i use fixed or adaptive voltages ?
 


Core voltage is fixed @ 1.23v at 4.4ghz.

As for the cpu input voltage it was marking 1.88 when it was in auto , i set it to manual and i put it at 1.74v. Should i try lower ? because as for the core voltage i know that 1.23v is good for 4.4ghz , but as for the cpu input voltage , i have no idea.
 


I thought from your original post, you meant with auto voltage it would shoot up to 1.760v Core.

I have a 4670k myself, but I've never changed input voltage off of Auto, just Core.
 


Whats the reason im getting super fine idle temps and when i use prime temps jump to 90 ?
