I'm trying to overclock my 6700k on an Asus z170a, nh-d14 cooler, 16gb 2133 ram.
I'm able to pass a 15 minute rog real bench stress test with 4.7@1.38V (actual vcore of 1.376V), but when I try to run x264 overnight it fails. I've tried up to 4.7@1.4V (actual 1.406).
My current mobo settings are:
47 core ratio
LLC set to level 6
CPU current capability 130%
CPU power phase Extreme
FCLK 1ghz
CPU core voltage 1.41 (able to pass 15 min stress test with 1.38)
VCCIO 1.2V (actual 1.224)
System agent 1.25V (actual 1.288)
Maybe I just have a bad chip? Are there any other motherboard settings I'm missing?

It is vcore that drives up temperature.
Yes, you could likely get a higher multiplier if you were willing to tolerate more vcore.

Considering how good the 6700K is at stock, do you really need more?

One thing to check is your motherboard bios level.
Sometimes there are enhancements for overclocking.
