Stabilize 4670K @ 45x

I was unlucky with my chip and I'm having some difficulties to stabilize my 4670K with 45x.

I started by just overclocking BLCK, after several tests I was able to stress the CPU with AIDA64 for 5 hours without problems, I used the following configuration:

CPU VRIN Override LLC > extreme
CPU VRIN Override voltage > 2.000v
VCORE > 1,340v
CPU RING voltage > 1,200v
CPU Multiplier > 45x
BCLK > auto
Turbo > disable
UNCORE > 40x
C1E/ C3/ C6/ C7/ EIST > disable
RAM > auto (1333)

Did not exceed 56 degrees stressing for 5 hours on water with two rads just for the CPU.

Then I used the same configuration to stress the CPU and the cache using AIDA64... BSOD 124 after 2 hours stressing, so rised the Ring Voltage to1.250v and...

... BSOD 124 after 2 hours stressing, so rised the VCore Voltage to 1.360v and it was the same story, BSOD 124 after 2 hours stressing.


I decided to start from the beginning by loading the defaults, left everything on auto and only rised the Uncore to 40x and the Ring voltage to 1.200v, used AIDA64 to stress only the cache and runned for 4 hours without problems, the overclock to the CPU and to the Cache are stable if I stress them individually but if I stress them together are unstable?!

Can someone help me stabilize my 45x overclock?
 
Why are you doing it this way? It hurts. D:
Anyway, reset everything to stock, and bump vcore up to 1.3 if you have a good mobo, 1.2 if it is average. Keep BCLK at stock and bump the multi up until it is unstable. Never auto overclock or BCLK overclock really.

Wanted to know what was the maximum BLCK that I could get... I could easily get 160 but going forward has become more difficult, the maximum I could get was 165. I do not overclock since 1366 socket and this new generation of CPUs and quite different.

After that I did more or less as you say...

CPU VRIN Override LLC > extreme
CPU VRIN Override voltage > 2.000v
VCORE > 1,340v
CPU RING voltage > 1,200v
CPU Multiplier > 45x
BCLK > auto
Turbo > disable
UNCORE > 40x
C1E/ C3/ C6/ C7/ EIST > disable
RAM > auto (1333)

For now I managed to stabilize 44x with 43x Uncore with the following configuration:

CPU VRIN Override LLC > extreme
CPU VRIN Override voltage > 1.800v
VCORE > 1,300v
CPU RING voltage > 1,252v
CPU Multiplier > 45x
BCLK > auto
Turbo > disable
UNCORE > 40x
C1E/ C3/ C6/ C7/ EIST > disable
RAM > auto (1333)

Did not exceed 54 degrees stressing with AIDA64 for 5 hours.

My intention is to stabilize 45x to use 24/7, what must I do to stabilize 45x?... seems to me that the cpu needs a large increase in the vcore to do 45x when is easy to get 44x @ 1.300v.

I will test with intel burn, with AIDA sometimes only after 3 hours I know that is unstable.
