LLC Overclocking help

[laushik]

So right know on my i7 6700k I'm running at 4.5 GHz at 1.35v, but I want to get to 4.6 GHz and I have to be at 1.38v which I don't feel comfortable at, but when I turn LLC on I can get to 4.6 GHz at 1.36v but without LLC I got a max temp of 72c at 4.6 GHz, but when I turn LLC to high and then stress test my CPU on Aida 64 for two hours I got up to 78c using the h100i GTX. Should I stick to 4.5ghz? Or go with 4.6 GHz with LLC set to high?

I would stay at 4.5  .1GHZ is not worth the instability

I am using a 6700K @ 4.8GHz with a voltage of 1.41. Mind you I am using an AIO which keeps temps at roughly 25-35c At Idle.

Just because you've set "1.35v" in the Bios doesn't mean your CPU will actually run at that. I've had mine set to 1.275v, but it was going down to 1.254 under load before I set LLC up; after I did, it was actually overshooting to 1.296v and being stable. At any rate, neither voltage is the actual one that I set.

 

Grab HWMonitor and take a print of the thing while under load. Make sure all mobo and CPU info is showing up (you can minimize everything else) so we can see what's going on inside that PC of yours.
