According to Intel X79 Motherboard Overclocking Guide, when exceed 4.8GHz, consider disabling these to prevent instability:-
- C-states (C1E, C3, C6 and C7)
- Virtualization
- "It is advised once exceeding 46x multipliers to consider PerCore overclocking. This can provide higher frequency performance relative to threaded load but offers the advantage of not requiring additional vid or producing additional heat out or increasing power draw."
