You could try lower, 1.175 is pretty good. A steam friend has his 4690k at 4.0ghz @ 1.20v... Silicon lottery loser

Can you explain me what that means?

Its pretty much the quality of the chip in laments terms, it dictates how high of an overclock you can get due to the quality of the silicone

Each cpu is different. One might be able to achieve overclocks at lower volts and some might need more volts than others. Luck of the draw

Basicaly if you are baking cakes and you use the same recipe for each cake then still there will be small differences between each cake. Some will taste slightly better some worse. Same with CPUs, some will OC better some wont.
