6600k 4.5ghz stable oc help
I changed my 6600k to 4.5 ghz, adjusted the +0.12 offset vcore, but it's behaving strangely now. I still see blue screens in Windows, though Cinebench and BF1 work for an hour. CPU-Z shows the vcore is at 1.3 instead of the expected 1.32 (1.2 + 0.12). I'm using an ASRock Fatality Z170 board. My earlier setup with 4.2 ghz stock vcore was stable, but I couldn't reach 4.4 with the stock one.
if i recall it right, lvl1 llc is the top tier, allowing me to adjust the voltage more effectively. i would configure it to level 2 or even 3 and increase the voltage by 1 to 2 steps depending on your tests. this should help you achieve stability under both low and high load conditions.
what is your llc configuration? was it set automatically? i believe the voltage might be too low for light loads, and when you apply higher loads it increased it to a more stable level. i would try raising the voltage by another step and check if it improves performance. also, consider running windows in performance mode, as the power-saving feature can sometimes reduce voltage to an unstable state.

I configured it as a level 1 llc. I plan to test it with higher voltage, though it seems unusual that others can achieve 4.7 with 1.29 vcore. Perhaps they use a better motherboard or chip.
