Impossible to set own voltage on 6700k???

I've ran realbench for 2 hours and did aida64 for 1 hour. I have played for hours on bf4 max settings snd crysis 3 project cars, and some light office work and also used the cinibench benchmark, 3dmark benchmark. Currently running 4.8GHZ at 1.355V.

I have been told on a different forum am wrong, and even though its set on manual the board still uses extra voltage to achieve the desired speed. This doesn't make sense to me, because whats the point of having the manual option?? If i set 1.3V in the bios and when am stress testing it puts whatever volts it wants then might aswell get rid of the whole option. I made a video in response to the guy who told me this..I have no doubt he is more knowlegable than me but am wanting to clarify this. Below is the link to youtube video showing my settings and some pictures i took this morning doing a quick stress test before work. Even in the pictures it shows the voltage has gone over 1.4v but it literaly only does once for a split second and just stays around the 1.36-1.37 region.

What is your load-line calibration setting? I think it is under Digi+ power controls.

LLC counters vdroop by increasing voltage in response to random voltage drops, if this setting is high then pushing you CPU to the max will often cause your set voltage to be exceeded.

I will check LLC and report back. I havnt actually played around with it so it might be set on high. Even though looking at what I have posted am i running around the 1.42V mostly or more closer to what I have set in the bios of 1.355V?
 
Well guys, after setting LLC at 6, I ran the first test 15 realbench, then lowered the voltage even more and did a second test 15min and 100% stable.

First Test:

Second Test:

I also have done 1 hour XTU but I closed it before I took a print screen and that was 100% stable. Played a few hours of BF4, will do Aida64 and benchmarking, and report back. So far looks well.
 
Looks like your going to have to update your signature. How is that H110iGTX preforming at 4.8Ghz? I've been thinking of swapping out my air cooler for one, but keep reading reviews that put me off, unusually loud pumps is something that keeps cropping up across the board of the Corsair range. Doesn't sound to me like they have very good quality control with them which is putting me off as my heatsink is performing satisfactory.
 
Done lol.

I run 1.36V @ 4.8GHZ and these are my temps. It's an awesome cooler, I've had H100i before and this kills it. I have it setup in push/pull configuration, however the fans that come with it can be loud so I turn them off and only have it in push configuration. The temps you see there are just in push configuration. I havnt had any pump noise at all mate.

1.35-1.4v is fine to be honest. As long as its not over volted it will be fine. After having my old 3770k at 5.1ghz for over a year lol :p, still runs fine to this day. Current 5930k is on 4.7 at 1.335v.

I think they are ROG matrix cards? Look very nice anyway! :). And nice score aswell.

Yeah they're Asus GTX 980TI Matrix Platinum. Wish I could get 5GHZ on my 6700K or my 4790K lol. Both are good chips. 4.8GHZ at 1.46V apparently is extremely good on skylake.

Am wanting to hit 24,000 if I can tbh. Don't know if it's possible.

1.36v is pretty good for 4.8, you could probably get to 5.0 I would just require something like 1.45v maybe... I wouldn't go that far personally.

Are your GPUs overclocked other than factory? If not I reckon you could hit 25,000 :D

It is a good cooler, but as state earlier the fans aren't great. They perform well in benchmarks because they go to 2200rpm, but they are pretty loud at normal speeds, a 2200rpm they are unbearable.

It is a fantastic closed loop though, I'd recommend you replace the fans on it as soon as you get it though to EK Vardars, Noctua NF-F12s or Fractal Venturis, they are the best radiator fans in my experience :)
