I've had my 6700k for about 6-7 months at this point, and from working on overclocking it I'm pretty certain I just lost the silicon lottery but I figured I would post on here just in case I missed anything... At 1.35V it's stable at 4.5GHz. If I bump the voltage up to 1.45V, it is not stable at 4.6GHz. Does anyone have any thoughts on something I could possibly tweak? Something I might be missing?

If you need more information please just ask.

Indeed, you might have lost in the lottery.
Here are some stats:
As of 12/04/2016
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.4v Vcore.

I7-6700K
4.9 5%
4.8 21%
4.7 64%
4.6 96%

One thing to check is your motherboard bios level.
Over time, you get improvements, possibly in overclocking.

OTOH, if you are running well. you always take a risk of a failed bios update.
