Are this normal stats for a i7 6700K chip in an Asus z170 pro gaming board?

[LuckLess_7]

Hi, I've just started with overclocking and therefor left everything at default for now. However, I've been reading all day about Voltages and such, so I looked at my own stats and they seem to be quite high. Is my suspicion justified? Here's a screenshot of CPUID:

I don't want to unjustified return an OK product, but I don't want to blow 300 bucks on a faulty chip either.
Thanks for some input in advance!

Seems normal to me. Stock voltage varies from CPU to CPU, and as long as it's stable, it's not faulty.

That's the thing, excuse me for not mentioning it. The system has crashed a couple of hours ago. I was shown a bluescreen with a QR code and some text, but I've not been able to make notes, it was gone so quickly. Prior to that I have benchmarked with Crysis 3 and Far Cry 4 as well as FurMark and Unigine. That, though, was in the morning. The crash happened while I was just typing in a Word document.

Cant find something wrong
My i7 takes 1.35V, sometimes 1.36V
Eveeything appears to be alright there, temps are fine

As for the crash; what RAM are you using?
I hat multiple blue screens due to auto XMP profile
Manually setting my RAM up I never had a problem again

If it's crashing, download and run a bootable version of Memtest 86 or try your RAM sticks individually to see if they're causing the problem. You could try lowering your CPU's clockspeed to see if that helps, too. Usually these sorts of problems are not CPU-related, but are RAM, hard drive or power supply issues.

I'm using a 530W bequiet! PSU. I will try the memory test later, thx. Do you know where I can find the messge the bluescreen was showing me?`I've tried looking into event manager but didn't find it there. It was probably too late for the crushed OS to write into those logs, right? Really bothers me. But thanks so far!

Hit start, type "Event Viewer", hit enter. On the left side under "custom views", select "administrative events". That's where you'd see your BSOD messages. They would be Level "critical", rather than "warning" or "error".

I'd like to pick up the thread, now that over 10 days have passed. I've been getting bluescreens daily. I have applied some overclocking though. I did do the memtest86 and it didn't find any errors. I've been stress testing with prime 27.9 and IntelBurnTestV2 and FurMark for the GPU. Been monitoring my temps, they stay below 80°C. I have set a Mulitplyer of 45 and a VCore Value of 1.300 Volts. I have applied the XMP Profile for my Ram, which now runs at 3000 MHz. I have set the loadline calibration to level 6.
Within the eventviewer, all I can see after any blue screen seems software related, though I'm of course not sure.
The system doesn't feel stable and as my reliability monitor shows: it isn't.
What can be my next step in imporving system stability? Like I said, during sterss testing everything stays up and running, and I even get the assuring pass message from InteBurnTest.

Crashes seem to happen at moments where neither CPU nor GPU are exceptionally loaded. Since I'm quite new to the scene, I can't compare my particular scenario to anything. So is that the normal oc process?

I'd like to know what I could do next to improve System Stabilty while maintaining 4.5 GHZ -which I don't really think is a lot.

Could be idle volts dropping too low. How did ou set voltsge in bios? Fixed or with offset? Did you apply any negative offset, as that will affect idle clocks as well.

With the RAM I tried two things: First I set the Frequency and the Voltage to what my RAM is specified. 3000 Mhz and 1.35 Volt. (The other voltage I set manually was Core Voltage. ) After a couple of BSOF I decided to apply the XMP profile, but sometimes I monitored the DRAM Voltage at 1.5volts, which seemed too high as I read DDR4 could and should operate at 1.35.

For now I have set the bios settings to default. Next thing I wanted to try was setting LLC to Level 1. I found a guide about LLC by MSI.

What is really bothering me though is that stress tests are passed but normal operation is still not reliable.

The stress testing I did so far was for either CPU or GPU exclusively. FireStrike and TimeSpy being the only tests where both CPU and GPU are under load, but these tests don't last long... How much does overclocking the GPU affect the stability of an overclocked CPU?
