Well your reason for OC is more legitimate than mine. My reason? Because I can!!
Yes its normal to get hotter when you OC then load it up. 85C is still under Max but hotter than I like to go. The only way to beat it is in the cooling. you dont want to Delid because if memory serves me correctly the 5820s are soldered and therefore the conductivity through the IHS is as good as its going to get. So that brings it to you AIO. If you really want to get it cooler first thing to try is removing the AIO block and double checking the paste and using premium paste like MX4 or similar.
Now if you are really serious follow steps below.
1) remove AIO
2) locate trashcan, open and insert AIO cooler in its entirety!
3) Open THIS webpage and configure and order a custom loop. You dont have to use exactly what this spits out or even order from them. I shopped around and saved about 20%. Also get yourself a decent fan controller and dont rely on jokes like AI Suite.
4) when custom loop arrives install with good thermal paste.
5) Sit back and enjoy the monster you have created.
You temps will drop significantly. Being lazy and seeing how I hadnt tried one yet I went with corsair top of the line highest capacity for a try. I got the same results and even worse on a 6700K I was passing 90C andf could not get the OC past 4.8Ghz. I followed the step above (except didnt insert AIO in trash, kept it for test bed use) and I havent seen temps higher then 72C since and got the OC on the 6700K to 5GHz and now have passed 5.2GHz on a 7700K still havent peaked past 72C and its a lot quieter!!!
If you want to push even more consider buying ROG MOBOs!!:rolleyes:

JustinThyme, gave you answer on how to drop tempetures 🙂
Is your watercooler 120 or a 240(1x 120 fan or a 2x120 fan ) ?
Why you crashed is another issue. Just saying your not stable. Sometimes this will show weeks later. I had a few times. Could be the peak Volatge wasnt met on Boot.
Realbench is okay but doesnt mean your OC is stable. Only realworld use can determine that and then stilla fter a few days/weeks it can crash.
You could to up the volatge with with 1 or 2 clicks.
1.30 or 1.35 v
Run realbench and keep checking the temps. I dont like temps over 75 on my cpu. But that is just me.
But you wanted to overclock to gain more fps. How much FPS did you gain? am curious if you reached your goal in that part.
Am the same most people.... I OC beacuse I can.

I overclock on 120 AIO cooler and i didnt get over 4.1 even though it was a Haswell I5. A 120 AIO cooler isnt better than a decent aircooler. There alot of 240 AIO coolers that work very good. There some 360 out there that are not that high in price. Even the 280( 2x140 ) AIO coolers are getting more mainstream.
I use a predator 360... Its AIO cooler and not... Its more like a Build AIO cooler. So i can exchange parts and it does need maintanance after while.
Anyways 85c isnt a sweet spot. Not to familure with your CPU. I had a feeling 4.4 is pretty much a high OC for that CPU. all the guide on the Inet mostly are done with super nice CPU. They are helping and actually they are not. like everybody knows all CPU are differrent and some will preform good and some wil not even go up with a 100.
Fast checked your CPU. Most of the overclockers use way better cooling solution than you.
I would settle with a lower OC than 4.4 for now
Do benchmark your cpu at deafault first then overclock and rebenchmark. if youonly gain a few FPS ... i might not even be worth it.
