I'm currently running my 6600k @ 4.6Ghz 1.355V.
I'm trying to get to 4.8 but everytime I change the V on the bios to 1.360V or higher (the number turns red idk why), the system just keeps crashing on Cinebench no matter the amount of voltage I add...
Is there a solution? Thx in advance

Solution
Limits of the particular chip. Keep it at 4.6 and call it a day, nothing more you can do. What's even more interesting is that you don't actually need to - 200mhz more will get you almost nothing in terms of performance.

Its not the mobo ,not the cooling ,maybe your psu can't handle it (no enough watts) but I mostly on the fact that 4.6gh is really high and i think your pc reached the stability limit and cant go further
What ever the reason is i dont think it matter , the clock speed is really descent for any kind of use (gaming , editing, etc) and you wont need more but if your an overclocking enthusiast and you want to see what your cpu can do will i think that is most it can take
