Edit: Just checked again and looks like also pretty much every core in my CPU goes from 40c to 80-90c in seconds.
Edit2: Looks like there is something badly wrong with my cpu cooling. Returning here when I have fixed that somehow.
Edit3: I changed my thermalpaste and still overheating in seconds with OC. I resetted default settings and now running under 60C with IntelBurnTest on Very High. Does my cooling suck too much or what?

IntelBurnTest is meant to do this.
90C is fine for Ivy Bridge, by the way. Not for 24/7, but, for a burn test it's alright. 90C IS the safe limit though.
EDIT: My mistake, you're on Sandy. 85C is safe. Haha.
Your CPU will shut off at 98C, that's the TJ max for Sandy.
Turn Spread Spectrum off. You don't want that on for overclocking.
EDIT 2: You may be getting too much vDroop at load. Try increasing your LLC up a notch. I'm almost certain this is it. Increase your LLC to level 3, or even 2. Never 1, too much compensation, you'll get super hot.
Explanation:
As your CPU gets to load, the chip itself throttles the voltage to keep it within its thermal requirements (it's automatic, it doesn't "know" - At LLC level 5, you drop about 0.080 volts. This can mean BOOM BSOD. As you increase LLC, the motherboard compensates for this voltage droop (hence the name vdroop) by offsetting the voltage during load times.
As you go up the LLC settings, you get more offset from the board, contributing to stability.
