My cpu pll overvoltage is enable and llc set to level 1. All other features are disable. I only manually change the vcore, all other voltage leaved to auto.
Any Idea or I just have a not so good chip.
I was thinking what Falkentyre said.... sure it could be anything but the only times I have had a multicoloured screen was over cooking my ram & it was patchy with odd characters mixed in & full screen of multicolour blocks when my video card has the 2 bob bits again due to pushing it to hard or without enough voltage.

Also, my costa rica 2600k hasn't "degraded" yet with the fixed LLC1...no idea if that's because of no more overshooting, or because of a better chip...
Was all up for it until I heard some people having issues with B3... My B2 is functioning spot on as it always has done & I'm still stoked with its daily performance so no hurry to change it really. I think I'll wait for the next board/chip then do something about it unless it breaks before then!!

Interesting about the degrading but I've never had a chip that didn’t settle/degrade at least a bit, the trick to note this for me for what practical value it serves I don’t know is to record your chips 1st boot voltage & be able to find its max real quick before it degrades without you knowing it.

I basically booted my new chips at stock set a few things up & multi at 45 then v quickly upped the multi 1 at a time noting the required boot into windows voltage from 45~max within 20 minutes of powering the chip up. My chip/chips all needed more voltage after minutes/weeks to even boot into windows & or run linX as they had before. My current 2500K needed I think something like 1.26 on 1st boot to get into windows at 5G!!! & did 5.5 the first time under 1.4v
