Bad Chip?

[sonrise]

Ok, so i have a 2600k and I started messing with voltages and stuff.
I'm not an expert on CPU overclocking, but I have followed TTL's guide and its pretty awesome.
My CPU wont boot at stock with turbo boost @3.8 below 1.155 volts, but its not even stable at that voltage, and bluescreens after ~5 minutes, which in my oppinion is pretty bad.

Anything I could be doing wrong?
My board is a Maximus IV gene-z.
Guess I just got a bad chip

mmm yeah, thats a lil high, but not disgustingly abnormal.
age of chip? cooling method? are you using offset of manual voltage?
using the BIOS, under digi, the LLC should be extreme 4.8-5.2GHz
your RAM is 2 sticks of 8gb or four sticks of 4gb?

every chip behaves differently, it's called silicon lottery. that's why TTL said you can't just copy & paste values from other people. also your CPU is a SB CPU, those generally run at a higher voltage than IB CPUs like the one TTL used. bump up the voltage a bit more, your chip is doing just fine.

I have load line calibration on extreme. Im using manual voltage and i have 4 4gb sticks.
Using a stock cooler until a new cooler im waiting for arrives (i live in uruguay and there isnt a ton of stock for stuff)

Yeah, I know, just expected it running at a lower voltage

shed, two sticks from either the 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 slots and retest.
some of the earlier SB had stability issues in RAM config. just try 8gb (2x4gb)
