Some 2600k overclocking fun...

This mean anything? =)
Looking bad for 5.6GHz, it won't boot, not even with 1 core... Suggestions?
You have hit the limit on your cpu.Its a good 2600k,but youll need subzero cooling to do any better.Sandy bridge is limited compared to ivy bridge,and if you are lucky you could maybe do 5.7ghz on all cores with subzero cooling if the cpu responds well to cold and higher voltage at -50c or lower.
 
I really hate giving the exact voltages, but I hear that under 1.7v allows you to OC your CPU even further, if you're going for broke, or just want to stabilize your current OC, you can go under 1.7v and test it out (wouldn't recommend going under 1.6v)
Figure out what's best for your CPU.
 
Im @ 4.5ghz stable with 1.296v load. Gonna try lowering PLL as low as possible then. 4.6 gave 0x124 code and that means either low voltage or too high PLL .
 
Don't go as low as possible on PLL, go for 'stable as possible with lowest core volts possible'
PLL voltage is just a trick to get low core volts and still remain stable.
So you will need quite some time to figure out your settings...
Give your self some time to think and work it through.
Best if you go like this:
Lower core volts @ 4.5GHz with 1.7v PLL and get to an unstable point.
Then just lower PLL by 1 or 2 - and stress again to see if it works... if not, lower PLL again, till you get it stable for at least 3h. Now lower vCore again and test. ~repeat
When you reach the lowest PLL possible, and thrust me, you will find it instantly, it will crash in a few minutes, raise it and you have your lowest core/PLL possible.
Have fun!
 
Also. The new bios for P8Z77-V Deluxe is much more stable. Before I had to have +1.4v for 5GHz, now I only need 1.33v (1.36v load) for 5GHz! 100% stable, have been folding for 2 days now =)
