i7 3770k Overclock Stability

[x6tr2ni]

I having an issue with Prime95 where after test 1 is completed, Prime95 stops responding. No Blue screems. Previously, I was able to get my cpu stable at 4.5 ghz at 1.150 vcores with a max temp of 70 with the h100i. I wanted to try geting the ghz higher since my max temp was still within my confort zone of below 85. When I put the settings to 4.6 ghz at 1.175 vcores at max temp of 74, I was able to get it stable through test 1, but early on in test 2, Prime stops responding. I assumed it was a voltage issue so I upped the vcore to 1.190, this caused the temp t o sky rocket to 87 max, but I was still only able to past test 1 until Prime stops responding. Any item what's going on? Have I reached the limit of my cpu at 4.5 ghz? Is there another test similar to Prime95 you guys would recommend for me to try out?

Try Aid64, also, are you getting voltage droop, is LLC on extreme or enabled

My load line calibration is on extreme. I'll try out Aid64

I have also had some issues in the past with Prime95. Obviously it doesn't distribute the right amount of voltage to the processor. This causes higher overall CPU temps. Definitely go with Aida64. That's what I'm using right now too.

up the voltage more above 1.2v 

most 3770k needs more then 1.2v to stable at higher clocks

and set your ram not to xmp but manual 

manually set the timings and voltage
