My build:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RCT9P6
I have been liking my build so far, but I bought the 4690k and hyper 212 EVO to overclock. I first used MSI's OC button genie, and got max temps of over 90 degrees. I almost fried my whole system using the automatic settings from the MB manufacturer!
Here are my tempuraters @3.6 GHz only 100Mhz overclock!

Edit: ^ it averaged around 60
Edit: Some users posts on here are really low with the same cpu and cooler, do I have defective parts?
Something isn't adding up, I only have a few chrome tabs up and I'm idling at 60 degrees. I accidentally loaded a profile for 4.2 GHz and it was so unstable I couldn't even manually restart through the start menu; had to use the reset button on my tower.
Here is a picture of my mounted 212 EVO and my rear exhaust fan. (I can't put the fan on the other side because of clearance issues.)

I really hope there isn't a problem because I will be really sad that I could have gotten a cheaper motherboard, CPU, and omit the cooler all together if the OC was going to be this bad. I was aiming for at least 4.2 GHz.
Maybe I am over reacting since this is my first build, but 90 degrees at 4.0 is insane.
Edit: I also left the voltages on Auto, if that helps, I have no idea what to set them at so I did not touch them. Thank you in advance for the help.
