Even if I try to make my clocks stock (3.4GHz, no turbo) any vcore that is not auto-offset gets me BSoD's. I currently have a 4.4GHz OC with offset stable 25 runs in latest version of LinX, but CPU-Z reports my vcore as 1.416 (rather high for 4.4 since most people seem to have a 1.2ish range for that clock, but it's what auto-offset gave me) It seems no matter what value I put for vcore, if it's not offset it's a guaranteed BSoD.

Edit: Hmm changing some of the power settings seems to have made it 1.216. I was googling around and searching this forum for bios settings, I found a thread by a guy called r0ach, is there actually something to what he is saying or are power saving settings alright?

I had a similar issue in the past, in that my chip would do 4.5ghz at just under 1.34v on offset, but on manual I was getting immediate BSOD X101 even after tons of tweaks and with it set as high as ~1.365v. It makes me wonder if some CPUs just don't respond well to manual voltage.

There is definitely something to what he's saying, you just need to keep in mind that, as far as I can tell, his guide is written with system latency as the utmost priority. I'd definitely weight the pros/cons before enabling or disabling a feature, and ideally try it both ways to see what works for you.

Power savings is a matter of opinion, and disabling it is basically better system performance at the cost of added system wear. Personally, I like EIST and C1E, and shut off every other power saving option, and always raise the Power/Current Limit (otherwise the CPU will be power restricted).
