playing around at first with my i5-6600k on the msi m7 motherboard i was able to achieve a 4.4ghz on auto voltage getting a cpu-z score of 8500. But after a couple of days the number has dropped to 7500 with no addition programs installed and nothing running in the background. Anyone know why this is? ive tried reinstalling windows and i got around 8500 again to start but it fell to 7500 again after a few days.

Auto voltage may put way too much voltage to the cpu, and it isn't recommended when overclocking, manually dialing the voltage in is a lot better.

 

Also try something like Cinebench on it, and see if that has the same issue.
