Wanted to try pushing further but temps are kinda worrying. Even with 1.32V offset mode voltage, core temps (core 1only, other core floating about 77c max) went up to 82c at the highest. So...yea...any ideas on how to improve temps? Currently rad is on top set to push config.

Thanks sifus.

Nice OC, in future please also include a screenshot of the CPU-Z's motherboard tab in order to get listed in the Post #.
Sounds like you will need a better cooling. Here's my 6600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.370v cooled by custom WC of course :

Cannot afford for custom loop.
Btw, Here is the pic with mobo tab.

It is normal for temps to jumps around a few C. Usually game will run on lower temps but will still fluctuates a bit not like gpu temps. As voltage is the main cause for cpu temps rise, the logical reasoning imo is because voltage supplied to the core is like a pwm signal that is regulated by the choke. So depending on your mobo, higher end mobo has more phases and more stable volt supply. More stable volt maybe less temp fluctuates. Either way, 70C on full load is nothing to worry about bro.
