Temp questions at 4.4ghz with Prime95... updated with pict of copper tip of HSF

24 hours of IBT is just not necessary unless you just like making your chip hot.

I think 4.2ghz @ 1.23-.24v is my sweet spot, maybe later this weekend if I have more time I'll try 4.4ghz at the same voltage. I've ran prime for 3 hours straight at it was from 57c-69c. Will install apps and make sure everything else is in working order (i.e. sound/sleep mode/etc).

4.8ghz @ 1.36v

Same here. 4.2GHz at 1.23V...tested with prime95 overnight. Above that I need a lot more voltage (though still well within limits at 4.5GHz, but I need 1.34V.) I'd rather have the much cooler chip and sacrifice 200-300MHz, at least for the time being. In a year or so I'll probably get a better cooler and push it as far as it will go.

Intel burn test was designed to do just that, burn up your processor. I do not run it for that reason. Anyway running OCCT Linpack my max temps are 58-63-62-61 with a 4.2 overclock and 1.24 v. Running prime95 my max temps are 53-54-55-55. Hope this helps. Edited to add hyper 212 evo.

You're aware IBT is also just a frontend for Linpack, right? It's the same code as OCCT, just with a different front end.

Yes and mine comes complete with instructions to run in 20 minute intervals.
