Stable overclocking fails on PC reboot

Hello,

I overclocked my 6600K to 4.7Ghz, and made sure it's stable using a long realbench stress test, but whenever i restart my computer the overclocking fails, what could be causing this ?

Thanks,

More than likely your memory overclock isn't stable.

Are you using the XMP profile or manual memory bios settings?
Intel i9 10850K@ 5.3GHz
ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E
Corsair H115i Pro XT
G.Skill TridentZ@ 3600MHz CL14 2x16GB
EVGA RTX 3090 Ti FWT3 Ultra
OS: WD Black SN850 1TB NVMe M.2
Storage: WD Blue SN550 2TB NVMe M.2
EVGA SuperNova 1200 P2
ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601

Unstable overclock. You need to finetune it some more.

I am using XMP profile.

EDIT: you were right!

I'm already @ 1.36V on the Vcore, don't wanna go further :D, but i will try higher LLC setting, maybe it will help.

Enabling XMP profile is overclocking in its own right. So you need to make sure your instability isn't caused by running memory at 3000MHz.

It is memory indeed, i'm even running lower cpu voltage now 1.34V, but with 2133 MHZ.
