Hello all,
 
I'm overclocking a 5820k on the micro 2. Having instability issues at 4.3ghz despite raising voltage higher and higher. Where is the cache voltage setting located? I've seen it discussed before but I cannot find it.

    A little more depth than Sajin's answer
     
     
    This guide from Tweaktown CPU OC describes the different terms for Voltage with X99 (page 3)
     
    excerpt:
     

    CPU Cache/Ring Voltage: This is the voltage that is responsible for powering the cache. Increasing this helps with increasing cache frequency (Uncore in certain BIOSes) - its default is 1.05v. This voltage helps to also stabilize CPU core domain overclocks too, so if VCore causes too much heat, try increasing this voltage, while dialing back the VCore a tad - you might be surprised at the gains. The cache voltage can be increased to the same levels as the CPU VCore, but I would try to stay under 1.3v on air.
