Posted March 22, 2015 Hello All, I am a noob when it comes to PCs, heck I purchased this cyberpower gaming computer 3 years ago... Anyway, I am planning on building my first PC later this year but I wanted to get familiar on how to overclock my CPU. I currently have an Asus Sabertooth x79 with an i7 3820 3.6 ghz. I want to overclock it to 4.0 Ghz since this computer has liquid cooling. I was messing with it earlier and trying to change multipliers from 3.7 to 4.0 and saved my results but the system would say that the overclock failed when the computer reset and I had to go back to the Bios. I clicked on OC tuner and it reset my PC and it seems to be working now. I don't know what it did but it seems my PC recovered from my last failed attempt at overclocking. I have checked tutorials, forums and everything related to overclocking but I still can't seem to understand any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 22, 2015 Have you increased the voltage, and enabled XMP? | Intel i7 5820K @ 4.8GHz | G.Skill Ripjaws 4X4GB | X99 PRO | HoF 980 | Asus MX299Q | Sennheiser HD600 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 22, 2015 Author Have you increased the voltage, and enabled XMP? XMP is disabled and no the voltage wasn't increased. I guess I should read up on that thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 22, 2015 XMP is disabled and no the voltage wasn't increased. I guess I should read up on that thanks. Without increasing the voltage, the processor cannot reach the 4GHz and will try to speed to 4GHz on startup, not having enough voltage will cause the CPU to shut down. | Intel i7 5820K @ 4.8GHz | G.Skill Ripjaws 4X4GB | X99 PRO | HoF 980 | Asus MX299Q | Sennheiser HD600 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 22, 2015 I did 4.3GHz with this 1 year ago with 1.275 offset voltage. It was very stable. I had Thermaltake contact 30 installed.
