Still, I apologize for the confusion and just want you and everyone to know that I appreciate the help.
My motherboard is the one in my sig, the GA-Z170X Gaming 7 on the latest BIOS (2018 or so) but as you can tell, I have very little experience with OC'ing and I am very cautious about it. I've not personally burned a CPU but I have an old friend who fried his AMD chip maybe about 18-20 years ago. Since he's 1000x more of a computer geek than I am and yet still made that mistake, I try to be a 1000x more cautious.
Current settings is 1.39v, LLC on High, and 4.5GHz OC. I've just completed a 150-run IBT Standard test which took 29 minutes and no issues. It would previously fail at lower vcores, however, I noticed that at 1.38v, vdroop was 1.368v and IBT would fail after 8-10 minutes. At 1.39v, vdroop was still at 1.368v according to HWiNFO but IBT was able to do 150 runs with no issues. Any ideas why this is the case? BTW, I ran IBT 2x at the lower voltages just to make sure it was not a freak fail and it would always crash at the 8-10 minute mark so the failures weren't a one-off. At 1.39v, it passed IBT first time. Temps were 70-83C max, 56-64 avg, so just bumping that 80C threshold but not being there for long, so I guess that means nowhere near 80C for regular gaming use.
I'm going to run a longer Aida 64 test now, maybe just 2 hours though, but I'll run a IBT Very High test first for 30 minutes. I figure if it'll pass IBT tests for 30 minutes, it should have no issues with Aida?
