Hi, I have a 5960x and I have tried to overclock it with various voltages but the system still freezes when running aida64 i'm trying to achieve a 4ghz overclock and stay below 70C when running at 100% load my idle temps are 22C on lowest core and 28 on hottest core the combination I have tried is 1.215v but still no luck I have seen people overclock this cpu with 1.15v so I must either have a potato for a cpu or I'm missing something.

 

Never had this problem with my 3770k any help would be great thanks guys.

Maybe a ram issue rather than cpu I will try at 2133mhz rather than 2400mhz on the ram

why would you even oc a 5960x it's already a beast. anyway, this is the what i followed to oc my 5930k it may help you

For single threaded performance? Not all games will use the 8 cores. When you're on a game that's single threaded and you basically have a 3.3GHz haswell i7 and a single 4690K is a better CPU at stock for that game? You will want to OC.

 

Also, anybody who buys a "X" CPU willingly and intends to leave it at stock is just wasting money.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

 

THE INFORMATION GUIDES: SLI INFORMATION || vRAM INFORMATION || MOBILE i7 CPU INFORMATION || Maybe more someday

Finally got it stable but pretty disappointing overclock in my opinion 3.8ghz at 1.24v max temps 55C after 10mins of aida 64 I will see how it goes from here then might bump up 100mhz at a time.
