One correction (I can't edit it anymore)

 

5.- Once Vdrop & Vdroop are cancelled, set your Vcore to your maximum, 1.375V for example using manual Vcore in BIOS. Check again you have no Vdrop & Vdroop by booting into Windows and stress testing for a short stint. Monitor temps while you stress test and don't let it go over 80ºC. You should now have 1.375V at full load and idle too (to check idle Vcore you wil need to switch off power saving modes, Speedstep, C1E, C3, C6 report)

 

The bold part is wrong because in manual Vcore mode power saving modes won't work, so there's no need to switch them off.

Also, there's no need to try to cancel Vdroop at 1.35V and then again at 1.35V or your max voltage of choice. Go straight away to 1.375V.

The way to do it would be adjusting both Vcore in the BIOS and LLC. If you have a lower Vcore at full load than idling, up LLC a notch and try again. Once you have cancelled Vdroop (again that usually happes at "Ultra High" LLC) you can tweak your BIOS Vcore to get exactly 1.375V or whatever your max Vcore of choice is
