NEED HELP. Vcore voltage won't go above 1.36

[o-SnowFox-o]

Specs:

i7-6700k
EVGA GTX 1070 FTW
500GB Samsung 850 EVO
2TB WD HDD
16GB DDR4 2133Mhz
Corsair H100i v2
EVGA 750 G2 PSU
Asus z170 Pro motherboard

I have previously OCed my CPU to 4.7Ghz and afterwards had left it at stock clocks. I'm now trying to OC it again but for some reason something is limiting my vcore to 1.36. I've tried of everything I could think of, including wiping and flashing a new BIOS; clearing CMOS; going back to previous BIOS versions; doing a clean boot on my PC; messing with LLC; making sure every voltage limiter was turned off that I know of including the hardware one on the motherboard; changing power settings; etc. Does anyone have any advice or has experienced this before? I'm not able to find anything online about it.

Thanks!!

I'm not sure if you need to go beyond 1.36v on that CPU but I run my i7 7700k at 4.8 Ghz between 1.25v and 1.264v. I left BLCK Aware Adaptive Voltage on Auto, thus it increases voltage from 1.25 to 1.264 when needed.
Do you have any XMP profile enabled for your RAM?

I've tried it with and without XMP. Supposedly my motherboard should let me raise my voltage to 1.7 max so I'm not sure why this is happening.

1.7? Do you want to kill your CPU?

I'm not asking to hit 1.7. I'm just saying that my motherboard supports up to 1.7. I'm only trying to reach 1.37. And it won't let me; it's capping at 1.36 for some reason.

Can you send a screen capture with OC settings?

email asus mobo support.
if you have done it before, and can't do it on the same bios, then no idea.

In essence, here is how you should really change voltage.
First set the desired Frequency for your CPU.
Leave voltage regulator on Auto.
Run the system and see if it is stable and take a note on what voltage did the system automatically set to.
Start lowering the voltage and keep doing until the system becomes unstable. Then once you reach that point go back one setting back that was stable. That is how you will find the right lowest voltage possible. You don't really want your CPU to run on high voltage. I managed to get my i7 7700k to run @ 4.8 Ghz with 1.25v. If I set my i7 7700k to 1.37 then the temperature will sky rocket to 90C on Full Load. Yeah, Kaby Lake is a hotter chip than Skylake but according to Intel manual it is normal to have Kaby Lake up to 80C while Skylake normal is up to 70C.

I agree with you. Only problem is that there IS the voltage cap. I've emailed ASUS and I'll see what they say. I believe that previously I was only stable at 4.7Ghz at 1.37.
