Was stable now it isn't (5930k)

Swapped over my CPU around 6 months ago as my old one developed a problem, used the same bios settings as the time before tested and benched them all to be stable, happy days.

Ran my tests again today for the hell of it and I'm getting BSOD in Prime95 after 2-10mins @ my normal 4.5GHZ. I can't up my voltage as the temps get to high, before I used 1.350v with a max temp of 88c after an hour of prime. 1.355 still wasn't stable and 1.365 (as in pic below) the temps hit 92c so I stopped the test. 4.4GHZ seemed to be ok for the 30mins I ran it.

Could you take a look at my settings and see if there's anything I can tweak to make it more stable? My OCD won't allow me to drop my system down to 4.4 when I know I had 6 months on 4.5.

AIDA64 Stable on standard tests....
Gaming stable, just doesn't seem to like Prime

Intel ETU stable for 5 mins on both tests (do I need to run for longer?)

Also why does Intel ETU for XMP profile one show as 3688mhz on the memory when the bios shows 2666mhz and also profile 2 shows 2666 and the bios says that 2800mhz. Whos right and whos wrong?

Try bringing the ring up from 3000MHz to say 4000MHz. You've set 1.2v for it so it shouldn't (I think) struggle for voltage.

Something that caught my eye; which I don't necessarily think has anything to do with it but is just odd; is that the SA voltage is set to Manual mode instead of Auto, and yet has no manual voltage entered. I'd just change that to Auto, unless you want to input a manual voltage there.

I would suggest increasing the vccin maybe to 1.95 but that will only increase temps and your already high. Tbh 1.35 is quite a high voltage. Don't forgot that 4-5 months ago external temperatures were a lot colder so a barely stable overclock then may start to run into errors now.

What's your load line calibration set to?

The uncore or ring ratio seems to be set in auto. Whilst uncore this can impact upon stability it's usually reducing the uncore that does this. The uncore voltage is too high at 1.2 given its low ratio of 3ghz. If keeping 3 and I would until the main clock is stable reduce voltage to 1.1v.
