Any interest in an X99 OC tutorial?

runit3

Posting this to see if anyone has any interest in an in-depth X99 platform OC tutorial. I'm finally at a happy stable point with my X99/5960X OC and have eliminated all of the errors I was getting (which were quite a few). If there's enough interest I'll spend a few hours getting BIOS screen shots and detailing the problems I ran into (most were related to XMP/RAM settings, random MOBO behavior, and the various dipswitches on my ASUS X99-Deluxe).

 

Also, would this be the appropriate sub-forum to post an OC tutorial in?

With the amount of i7-47x0K "How do I OC?!" threads I see on nearly a daily basis I wouldn't be surprised if someone jumped the gun on an X99. :P

I wouldn't mind reading it. Plenty of options I've never seen before in Asus's X99-Deluxe motherboard. I do have my 5930k at an easy 4GHz but going further I may want to see some other people's input.

was chilled while the market did´t change, but now that we have new candies on te market any contribution would be apreciated. I mean, this H2011-3 x99 ddr4 combo is still far to be consolidated and we need consistent info to know if its worth it for our purposes or just the "creme de la creme"

I have a 4.375 stable OC, also a 4.5 stable but it's at 1.315v and that's really as hard as I'm willing to push it for the time being. With that being said, temps have been f'ing FANTASTIC with sub 80C @1.315v and sub 72C @1.275v on full load. I have been pleasantly surprised with my loops ability to keep up despite only running 2 x240-45mm alphacool rads in pull.

 

I'll start writing this up later in the day, should be done ~5-6pm pst.
