Hey everyone,
I'm working with a 3750k at 4.5 that requires 1.275V. The base is set at 1.120, so I adjusted the offset by adding 0.155 to hit the target voltage. However, under maximum load it jumped to 3.55V instead of the desired 1.275V. My voltage also dips briefly to around 3.33V when fully loaded. I haven't tweaked the LLC yet, so it's on auto, but I'm wondering if switching it to high would help.

Are you certain you captured that correctly? I believe you cooked your chip several times if that's accurate. Intel's maximum VCore voltage is 1.920v; exceeding it requires enabling extreme overvoltage. Use CPU-Z to track the voltage, turn off all power-saving settings in BIOS, and apply LLC (Load Line Calibration). If you've adjusted many options on the OC page to auto, like BCLK mode, manually enter the stock settings—motherboards can interfere with them.
