5930K Overclock Help
So how about we get that RealBench to pass and talk about all the other stuff that you didn't ask about after that.
You're more than likely having an issue related to CPU Voltage Input (also known as VCCIN). Very common on HWE chips and not that big of a deal. Increasing VCore will not really help this issue much.
Go into BIOS and raise your CPU Input Voltage to 1.95v. Start with 4.5 GHz and set VCore to 1.3v provided that your cooling setup can handle the thermal load. Retest for 15 minutes and start dropping voltage until you start crashing again.
I very much doubt that you lost the "silicon lottery" that badly. I'm 95% sure that we just need to get you dialed in. No biggie.
**I should add, I've run RealBench for hours on my 5960x at 4.7 GHz, but I can tell you that it won't even do 5 minutes at 4.5 without a little extra Input Voltage.**
