X99 overclocking fail

[Greyhound82]

Hi!!

 

I'm an overclocking newb and could use a little help.

I tried to use the AI suite that came with my Asus X99 Pro to overclock a 5820K because, well, I'm a newb. It crashed the first time and said it was successful the second time (long story). When I went to check it on Windows and CPU-Z it still showed the clock speed of 3.3 Ghz....

I figured it had just failed so I went into the Bios and it still said the clock speed was 3.3, but when I went into the advanced settings  it didn't have the Extreme Tweaker heading. In it's place it said AI Tweaker (the page still looked the same tho) and at the top it said the Turbo speed was now 4.2 instead of 3.6.

 

I guess this means the AI tuner has just upped the Turbo clock speed and left the base clock at 3.3??? Is this what it's meant to do?? If I go in and mess with it, will it burn out and crash when the "turbo" kicks in??? Is it possible to just get it to run at 4.2 the whole time???

 

Any help would be most appreciated!!!
