i5 6600k 4.5ghz at 1.2v stable? What am I missing?

So after doing some testing with different multipliers and voltages, I'm at 4.5ghz and 1.2v. I read that to archive 4.5ghz you need like 1.3+ volts. How is this possible? What's the deal?

I did a 20 min stress using AIDA64, 10 mins test using ROG CPU-Z and 1 hour gaming (R6 Siege) and everthing looks normal.

I have a Hyper 212 LED and my temps during stress were 60c with 69c spikes. While gaming was around 47-58c.

that's really good, i had to push to 1.3 to get 6600k stable @ 4.5ghz, i believe that you have a really good chip.

So what's next? I don't want to push more than 4.5ghz until I get my liquid cooling.

Summer is coming, so just keep it at that usually I have to take 200 MHz off in summer compare to winter,
