My Intel i7 2600k isn't working properly or just plain bad luck?

Ive heard every chip is different, some may require more volts when overclocking some may require less. When overclocking people suggest 1.27v at 4.5ghz. however i need AT LEAST 1.4v to even boot windows let alone be stable. i have a hyper 212+ and my biggest fear is that i havent applied the thermal paste correctly. could that affect whats going on? I seem to need so much more volts than what anyone has recommended. what are my options?
