Hi,
i'm having serious issues overclocking my i7 2600k. What works is 4.3GHz every voltage on auto, every feature turned on, including power saving. Works no problem for whole day without any issue.
Move to 4.4GHz or higher, and the whole PC goes nuts after a while. Well, the PC works - for some time, then i get BSOD code 124 at random intervals. At 4.7GHz i get it after 3-10 minutes, at 4.4-4.6GHz after few minutes or few hours.
For example these are my settings for 4.6GHz :

In Advanced Core features everything except HT is turned off, every power saving feature (EIST/C1/whatever).
When i boot in Windows, i have VCore 1.392V at "idle" and 1.38V at load :

1 and half hour of OCCT Linpack, no problems reported. Then 1 hour of idling (web browsing etc) and out of sudden BSOD. Other times it would BSOD when running Linpack with same settings. So it's not load or idle connected.
I'm out of ideas what else can i do to get more out of this CPU than 4.3GHz.
The configuration is Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3, BIOS F1; Core i7 2600k (batch L101B356); G.Skill F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH (2x4GB DDR3-1333 CL7 1.5V).
Thanks.
