    The case might be that your Vcore graph is stable, but you check your voltages and thats spiking or dipping, even though that might not reflect in your Vcore graph it still might or will cause a crash.

    My suggestion to anyone suffering from "degradation" inspect your voltage and Vcore graphs. I bet they are nothing like this

    Here are my OCCT charts from today with the best stable clock 4.25ghz at 1.325vcore set in bios -

    12v

    5v

    3v

    Vcore


    Here is what I could get in Feb - same clock 4.25ghz 1.28vcore, now requires 1.325vcore with exact same settings -
