I can't believe i passed you on this one Cliffs i swear your core clock is a Beast !

I'm not done tuning though this was a test run i wonder what a Ti will bring to the table

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-6850K,ASRock X99 Professional Gaming i7

If you mean my CPU, I was having some problems with settings drift after using it a while, and just spent he better part of 4 hours checking out what was causing some instability the last two days,
and I fund in the saved 4.92 OC Profile, that Chinese letters had started showing up on some settings, instead of English, so I deleted the profile, booted into Windows, then used MSI Fast Boot to go back into BIOS, and reset up the Profile, and being I use Memory Try It! in place of XMP(which makes changes to BCLK & Vcore so I don't use it when OCing, only when using defaults) I changed the DRAM Timing Mode from "Link" to Auto", as I prefer that BIOS chooses, and the RAM isn't stuck fast to specific timings if it doesn't need to be(another possible cause of instability maybe).

Now I'm in the process of checking everything out again, and just ran Aida64 stress test, for almost half an hour and it looks ok, although the max CPU clock shows higher than 4.925 @4.929890, Vcore stayed under the set 1.45 @1.448 max, and the max CPU Package(the one you really should watch) temp on this air cooled machine was 71°C.

For the stress test I changed my power options from Balanced, to High Performance, but EIST and C-State is on in the BIOS, High Performance should override it though.

So it seems there is some drift, but this time I'm getting more bang for my buck(slightly higher clock, with lightly lower voltage).I'm going to have to keep a sharper eye on it, and run some more tests, though.

So that slight power drift has nothing to do with the PSU what so ever it is mainly Bios settings that someone get tainted it could be from the reboots and testing

That's what I was thinking too. It could also be from MSI Command Center or Intel XTU. I don't mess with them much, I just use XTU to stress test and Command Center for to turn up the fans full blast when benchmarking(don't know if I need to, but I like to have the system cooled from the get go, instead of using the temperature curve for benching).
Maybe something in the background is doing something at a low level in the kernel or BIOS.

I'll see what happens in time wen I stop fiddling with stuff:)
