I have been experimenting which voltage settings and which BIOS settings can be used/combined to produce a stable and less-heat-producing system.
I was going to post this under specific motherboard thread but I thought everyone should see this as some people might have not had time to try out all the settings.
My system components are in my signature. I was stable at 3.9GHz with 1.425v. I was keeping LLC at 3 to really make sure the CPU is stable at this clockspeed. I never thought of not sticking with default LLC settings as it always meant stability in my previous builds and previous overclocking tries. I just reverted it back to LLC5 to see if it is going to affect stability but it did not negatively impacted the stability of my system and the temps went from 75°-80°C interval down to 60°C-65°C after 2 hours of Prime95.
