I've got to 4.6 GHz using the settings recommended in this guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/265056-29-2600k-2500k-overclocking-guide
It is *semi* stable at this speed. It runs under normal loads (Cities: Skylines), but failed an overnight burn with Prime95 SmallFFT.
My key issue is this: I hit 4.6 on stock clocks, and increasing VCORE to 1.410 hasn't significantly improved stability.
Have I hit the OC ceiling of my CPU? Or, are there other options I should mess with in my BIOS to improve stability? All I've done so far is adjust VCORE.
