I have overclocked my i7 6700k to 4.5ghz at 1.32 volts and tested cpu for stability which went fine. I won't even touch FPU test on AIDA because of the fact that FPU and prime 95 small ffts HATE the Skylake series and core #1 jumps to 100c in both tests.I'm more concerned about he cache testing. I can test memory with xmp on and cpu test but the second I try a cache test 1 second into the test it detects a hardware failure.
Any suggestions? I know its not temps I have a fractal design s24 and the cpu never hits over 60C.

I got it. For any reason, pushing this chip beyond 4.4 ghz requires a big jump in voltage, and once that happens, the improvements become almost nonexistent for the temperature changes I'm observing. Well, at least I didn't win the silicon lottery this time ^^
