I think my 2600k is failing after six years of being set to 4.7 for most of the time I owned it on a Z77 saber tooth cooled with an H100i. It’s now freezing and crashing often. I’ve adjusted the multiplier to 4.1Ghz, 4.2Ghz, and 4.3Ghz, and changed the voltage to 1.1-1.2 in the bios, saving the settings and checking them, but it still keeps going up to 4.5Ghz. I’m sure there’s something simple I’m missing if you can help me understand. Thank you very much.

the processor begins requiring higher voltage to function at the same clock speed. after six years, it's likely you should lower the clock to 4.4ghz without significantly reducing the voltage.
