I'm working on getting my i7 6700k CPU to run at 4.6Ghz, but I keep seeing a BSOD after about 15 minutes of gaming. My motherboard is an Asus z170a and the cooler is a Corsair H100i v2. The BIOS voltage is already set to 1.350V. I need advice on adjusting BIOS settings for a stable overclock at that frequency.

Increase the voltage slightly and test again, repeating the process if necessary. If it still doesn't work, consider using an LLC (load line calibration) method to address voltage drop issues. Another approach is to lower the frequency to 4.5 GHz and check stability at 1.35V.
