First of all my specs:

3570k @ 4.3 1.25 vcore (set in BIOS)
Antec 1200 Case (3 fans intake and big one as exhaust)
GTX 770 @ stock
H80 with stock fans setup to pull in air at lowest spin

Right now my CPU is at 1600 MHz and 1.256 Vcore according to CPU-Z and idle temps are 32-40 (lowest to highest core).

If I run Prime95:
large FFT I get temps between 84-88.
small FFT I get temps between 88-94

I don't know, it really seems to hot compared to some other results I've seen. Any ideas or better yet comparisons?

Thank you for your time!
 
It turns out it was a bad mount. I got my temps down by 15-20 degrees but sadly no better overclock for me.
