First I'd like to say that I'm not an expert, so bear with me.
Specs:
Intel 6850k on H60 liquid
Asus Deluxe II
EVGA GTX 1080 FTW
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200
Corsair CX850M PSU
So far, I've been able to run 4.5 stable with core voltage at 1.4. If I push it to 4.6, it won't boot unless I change the voltage to around 1.475. It's too unstable at that voltage, and crashes within a few minutes of benching or playing a game. At 1.5 volts, temperature too high error and computer shuts down. At around 1.57 volts, over voltage error, won't boot.
So in my eyes, the situation is this. Voltage too low, not stable. Voltage higher, temperature error, voltage higher yet, overvolt error. Is there any way I can stabilize my overclock and push 4.6 without upping the voltage to a point where it becomes nonviable?
Edit: Using XMP profiling with Ram speed at 3.2 and fixed at 1.38 volts
Edit2: I've been able to boot at 4.7, but it will crash after minutes, so I'm not sure whether or not this is the CPU's silicon coming into play, or my inadequacies
