ok so just play with the LLC until the volts under load are what you set under bios and the idle is as close to what you set in the bios as possible. once you have this balance right it is just a case of finding the correct vcore setting for your chosen overclock!

just make sure the jump from idle to load volts isn't too much because that's not good for the processor which is why i said you want to adjust LLC till the jump from idlle to load is very small
i get about a .05 - .08 drop no matter what i set the llc to.....all the llc does for me is jump the voltage up for everything when i have my vcore set to 1.35 with the LLC at level 5, then my voltage jumps up to about 1.42
just some screenshots of what im getting right now at 4.7....only quick test times here for just the voltage drops
curently 4.7, at 1.47 volts.....ummmmm that too much?

Was just reading through this topic because im planning on buying a Z68XP-UD3P at some point. Bare in mind ive not been upto date on hardware for a good few years so i have no idea what im doing with regards to overclocking right now - hence me reading about other people problems.
But i read the review on OC3D last night for this board, and the author basically said the motherboard wouldnt let him hit over 4.6ghz stable - http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/gigabyte_z68xp-ud3p_review/11
So maybe your just stuck with a lower clock due to the motherboard limitations rather than not having the right settings?

to be honest unless you're benching i doubt there is much real worlds performance increase beyond 4.5 anyway. I have the z68xp-ud3p at 4.3ghz on 1.32 volts. 4.5 just wanted too many volts, like you said it may be the board or i just got a chip that doesn't wanna go there. I can still play games beautifully!
Yes, it is too much.
Really, I wouldn't go over 1.35-1.4 volts for 24/7 use. Also if you have LLC on, the voltages that are reported in CPUZ are your load temps, however due to the way the voltage regulation works, it does briefly spike before it stabilises at a point, but that's a different issue. If you have LLC so that you've eliminated Vdroop, I'd personally have my maximum voltage set to around 1.35v or thereabouts for daily usage to avoid CPU degradation.
I don't want to confuse you with all of the technicalities about Vdroop, LLC &c., but…
He's right. There's not much that is going to *need* all of those GHz.
