Hi All, I'm just getting started with overclocking and am currently working on optimizing my CPU.
I have a Windows 10 system with an i7 6700K processor, MSI Z270-A-PRO, 16GB G.Skillz 2400MHz RAM, and an MSI GTX 1070 8GB.
Initially I set the voltage to 4.8ghz at 1.35v, but under heavy load my core voltage and speed dropped. Then I tried 4.6ghz at the same settings and the issue persisted.
Could there be a BIOS setting I missed? I changed the voltage manually to 1.35 and temperatures are normal—around 70°C under full load at 4.8GHz, with around 60°C in Aida64.
Appreciate any advice from the community!

Checking the Load Line Calibration? It aims to minimize voltage drop when operating. If it's already configured at high or turbo/typical conditions, perhaps the silicon selection was a mistake.
