Overclocking i7 5820k

[adamsjus1]

What is a good overclock on this chip?  Don't know to much about the x99 stuff but I am planning on watching the x99 overclocking guid in detail soon. Just want to know so I can help out my step brother with his pc.

As average 4.3Ghz on a good air cooler. Maybe 4.5Ghz if you are on water. A good chip probably can do a bit better.

Some get 4.7 Mine is on 4.5 and some even go under 4.3.

No software, all straight from the bios.

Same, running stable at 4.5GHz ~ 1.3v on water (H100i) 

 

 

Follow everything in this video for a starting point, even if you have a different board (and thus, a different UEFI. The parameters remain the same, you'll just have to find where they are in your non-Asus board.

 

 

Those settings will get you to 4.5GHz, if you did decent in the silicon lottery.

Adjust multiplier and vcore to your leisure after that.

I can get max 4.6 on 1.3 vcore. I am on closed water loop. I may go custom later and OC some more accorded to my temps
