Weird 6700k clock speed behavior!

So today/yesterday I was overclocking my CPU and it was comfortable around 4.6 ghz, but I noticed that on Aida 64 and the x264 stability test it would definitely al back down to 4.1/3.9 ghz even though it wasn't thermal throttling! The temps always stayed around 70C. The weirdest thing is that in Aida 64 if I stress CPU,FPU, cache, and memory is does that, but if I leave out FPU it stays at 4.6. As well, Asus Realbench stays at 4.6 the whole time. I wondered if it had to do with cache(though quite unlikely), so I clocked CPU and cache to 4.5, but it made no difference. As well, it stays at 4.6 on valley benchmark. Does anyone have any idea why this is? Also I know this is a repost, just posting again to see if anyone has any ideas. You can find the orginal thread at the bottom, you can read up on it to know all the specifics.

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
