Hello guys,
Basically this is the situation.I am overclocking an Intel 2600k on an ASUS P8Z68-V board.
At the moment it's sitting at 4Ghz with a negative offset of -0.070 (my board overvolted it a lot...).
During gaming/emulation(main things I do) the voltage arrives to 1.23/1.24V however during Prime 95 the voltage goes down to 1.2V cause of Vdroop.
If I try to increase the negative offset the system BSODs when testing with Prime.
Now,I was tempted to use LLC to compensate for Vdroop but I read that it's kind of pointless to add voltage when using a negative offset.
So,given the situation,do you guys think that I should keep things like they are now or ignore Prime and drop the voltage even more/turn up the multiplier?
If Prime is stable at 1.2V with a 100% load I think that games will probably be fine with 1.17/1.18V,only problem is that Prime will always be unstable because of Vdroop.
What do you guys think?

I will recommend to do overclocking in bios because it needs less voltage, higher oc and if also increase the processor life comparable to oc by software. Also If you get Any manual settings and of you go for that then the oc will be unstable and will produce more heat. If you give less voltage then you will get unstable oc and if you give higher voltage then it will produce more heat and will reduce CPUs life. So it is important to find a sweet point of correct combination of frequency and voltage. To do that Just follow this Steps:
1) just enable your XMP memory profile if your memory support that.
2) increase the cpu ratio from factory settings a little(whichever smallest possible) and boot in your os.
3) Download cpu stress testing...

2) increase the cpu ratio from factory settings a little(whichever smallest possible) and boot in your os.
3) Download cpu stress testing software prime95 and do a stress test around 20 minutes.
4) if it passes then restart and go in bios, increase a little cpu ratio again a little bit.
5) if it passes then repeat 4th method. And if it not passes then go in bios and increase the CPU voltage and again test. Just keep doing that.
6) a time will arrive when the temp will gone so high, at that time you have to stop and keep it to cool.
7) also when doing upper methods you have to keep a eye on your temps.
8) a step will arrive when prime95 will never pass or the temp will gone so high immediately when stress test started, that point you have to stop and you get the unleashed speed of your processor. You got a stable oc now. Watch temps and don't let them go above 80. Best luck :)

Thanks for the answer but I don't see how it applies to my case.What I would like to know is if it is a good idea to use LLC with negative offset or if it's better to just forget about Prime and just see if the system is stable while gaming

Thanks,what do you think about using LLC with negative offset to get Prime stable?
