FX 6100 Vdroop Crazyness

I don't know what to make of this cpu anymore, i find it hard to overclock it, i mean its different to my old Deneb.

The problem for me is i seem to read on the numerous bulldozer oc guides that you should turn LLC all the way to maximum, but on my Asus M5A78L-M LX when i turn LLC to 100 % and i set a voltage lets say 1.4 , when bring some Linpack pressure the vcore drops and remains between 1.25 - 1.26

Is this what i shouldnt be doing, meaning instead i should be putting LLC to 0% and have a stable vcore under load,closer to what i set. ?

But when i disable LLC, the voltage stays stable,but man at 1.3 im nearing 55 Celsius in Linpack, so that kinda scares me .

Im doing it wrong no ?

Im just trying to reach 4GHZ, i have it curently stable at 1.35 (with LLC 100%) @ 3.8 ghz.

For cooling i use an old Asus Triton 70, its not much but i think its better than the stock one no ?

Right now i set the Vcore to 1.42 in the bios, 4GHZ, and under load it gets 1.27 max,55 celsius,seems stable 30 minutes into a linpack run , should i continue like this ?

On my board LLC has settings between 1 and 5, and 5 is the lowest setting. Perhaps it's the same for yours and you're actually turning LLC off?

Yeah figured that was it, but now im kinda baffled at the heat this thing is putting out under linpack at a stable 1.37 under full load, its hitting 60 celsius.

Now when i play battlefield 3 i get max 40 celsius.

But i see people who posts overclocks of this cpu VCores of 1.4 for 4ghz and above, is it supposed to run this hot or is my old cooler not enough ?
