Hello.
I'm experiencing issues with overclocking my 6600k. I've set the multiplier to 45, but it's running at 4.5Ghz with a voltage of 1.35V and my Vcore at 1.35V. During stress tests, the voltage drops to 1.296V and the frequency goes down to 3.8Ghz.
I've attached a video showing the problem: https://youtu.be/SYTGhMf6MXk
What might be causing this?

Turn off EIST (Intel SpeedStep) if you prefer more stable core clocks and ignore the power benefits. This means you're directly reaching the speedstep target and adjusting to meet it, which may cause throttling. Also verify that your Cstates are configured properly.

The CPU and voltage will modify themselves accordingly if they don't require 4.5 for the task, which is completely normal.

Turn off EIST (Intel SpeedStep) if you prefer more stable core clocks and ignore power savings. This means you're directly reaching the speedstep target and limiting itself to meet it. Also verify that your Cstates are configured properly.
