No, we share the very same bios, I know exactly what and where to set. Just don't remember the ring voltage in here cuz I don't really bother about that. But I think it's straight called Ring Voltage.

I see. Ok, here's what I have:

CPU Frequency: 4.5Ghz
Uncore frequency: 3.8Ghz
CPU VRIN: 1.55V
CPU VCore: 1.125V
CPU RING: 1.2V

And I believe those are all the settings I have changed. Is there anything that seems out of whack?

VRin is VRin not Vring. As in Voltage Regulator input not Ring voltage. Doesn't seem to detect Vring on your mobo.

There is a huge OC thread for Haswell and DC with statistics. Also Gigabyte OC thread: https://www.overclock.net/forum/5-intel-cpus/1401976-gigabyte-z87-haswell-overclocking-oc-guide.html

For testing it's best to use demanding real world applications as the wanna be stress testers are often super simple and only meant to produce excessive heat.
As far as CPU bottlenecking... lets face it even 8700K and 9900K OCed will bottleneck a 290-390x/970-1060 class card at 1080p in poorly optimized games (especially DX11) they are still selling today. It all depends on software you use, some is able to feed the GPU some is not.

Yeah, I've noticed that stress testers won't crash my PC, but when I load up CPU-intensive games, it blue screens. Will have to keep using this method, I suppose.

Yes, your VRIN is waaaaaaaaaaay too low. You will not get any sort of stability below 1.75V and really, believe me when I say that you can push it up to 2.1V.
