Help with OC Stability

[mansonn]

Hello Folks !

Im really new to OC and through this site i managed to do some tweaking around.

I managed to get my 5930k to 4.2ghz at 1.18v.

Im cooling it with an H110i, temps are idle = 35~ load = 71~

Im guessing that´s an ok result, stress tested with Aida64 for about 1h and a half and seemed stable.

My question is: Since im a newbie, is that all i have to do? Am i missing something? Im afraid i forgot to do something and my processor is getting cooked.

Thats all the OC i have, not using XMP, just regular 2400 memory on an asus x99 sabertooth.

 

OBS: I know i could probably get more speed out of the CPU, but i always leave the PC on cause of downloads and where i live gets really hot even in the winter. I´m just looking for some extra speed with no danger, specially cause it will be idle downloading stuff most of the time.

 

Thx in advance !

Seems fine to me. I only ever do a 30 minute stress test and move on if it passed. Haven't crashed due to my OC at all and it's been almost a year.

Just do whatever you do, if it crashes, roll the multiplier back.

You should be perfectly fine. Not only this is a mild OC, temps are also good enough. If passed 1,5h of Aida, it's likely to be good.

 

But if you'd like to test it further, grab yourself Folding Home, Boinc, or prime95 (in GIMPS mode) and just let them run for a week straight. If it passes, I'm pretty sure your OC is rock solid. It'll also help out the community a little (actually, a lot, the 5930k is such a strong CPU...). You can keep using your PC as normal, just let the thing run on the background.
