First core got an error after 2 and half hours at 1.33V. The max temp is 88C. Most of the time is low 80C. I'll bump it up to 1.34V and test it out. I think I have the worst chip ever. For some reason my mobo's minimum PLL voltage is 1.586. Bty, my vdroop on load is about 0.018-0.026 on LLC level 2. Is this vdroop acceptable?

I don't think LLC is helping with IB as much as it did with prior cpus.
My MSI MB doesn't have LLC settings and from what I am seeing it looks like it isn't really needed for IB. I wouldn't touch the LLC settings and try 4.5GHZ with 1.2 vcore and set PLL to 1.6V. If that is stable for you then work your Vcore down with your PLL dow step by step doing some 20 run linX stability testing in between. Get to the lowest voltage possible then up you mulitplier and work your way up on voltage to 46x till stable. Then start over and work your way up as high as you can go.
I think your 1.34 Vcore is too high for CPU voltage.
1.586v on PLL should be fine for 4.5GHZ. If your ram is weak you should under clock it some to see if it helps stabilize. If under clocking your ram helps then you know your ram is weak. I have Gskill 2133mhz CL9 ram.
