5820k OC voltages

Greetings all,

I am rather new to straight OC tweaking and I used to just do the one button OC on my old MSI board. Now, I have a X99-UD5 and a new 5820k and followed Linus's instructional video on OCing this chip.

After some experimental googling and lurking in this forum for a few months, I am not sure yet if I have this configured correctly...

Got to 4.5 Ghz easy at 1.300 V. Then I ramped it to 47x multiplier and enabled xmp on my RAM rated at 2800. Computer wouldn't boot and screamed at me, so I went to the known more stable 2666 on this board for RAM and switched to 46x multiplier at 1.330 V.

I have run several stress tests at this maxing at 62 degrees C with my kraken x61.

Is it typical to use this voltage or should I creep it down?

Specs:

5820k

G1 980ti

X99-UD5

Some SSDs

Thermaltake core X9

NZXT kraken x61

16GBs Evga superclocked RAM in quad

CB 15 score- 1311

X264 encoding test from overclock.net- 5.91 FPS on one loop (from 4.5 FPS at 4.5Ghz no XMP, lower priority)

Thanks in advance for any advise!

I am pretty sure it is stable, but the primary question is whether my voltage is too high and if it could limit the longevity of my cpu.

I have been reading some people wishing their 5820k could even hit 4.5, so I also don't know if I may have won the cpu lottery or something.

Those are some nice results for a six core. You can try creeping the voltage back. I try to do the same when I'm over 1.3v cuz I'm a wuss like that ;-)

My rig:

I managed to get 4.5Ghz stable with 1.310v and I think you're voltage is really fine, and yeah the official safe limit from Intel is 1.300V, but i've heard alot of people going over 1.300V.

Yes it will shorten the life, but i dont know by how much.

I run my 5820k at 4.5 as well.   Voltage is set to adaptive and caps out at 1.3.   I have had it up to 4.9 but had to go near 1.4 volts to get there.    

 

What you have sounds about normal.   I would stick in that range and not push it.   You should be ok at 1.33 but I would not go any higher.  

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.
