Quick 3930k voltage question

[xToFxREAPER]

Hey ltt, been a while since ive played with a 3930k but my dad wants to up his oc to 4.8ghz just wondering what a good starting point is for voltage at that oc. He has a custom waterloop on the chip running a 360mm black ice gt rad dedicated to the cpu so temps arent a huge concern.. if i recall correctly 1.4v is as good starting point correct for that clock am i correct? hes been using the rampage iv extreme's auto oc and ive been swearing at him to get him off it and do a manual oc which roped me into teaching him -.-

1.4.v is completely fine, I would start being cautious once you get to about 1.5v or so, definitely don't go to 1.55v or above. As long as your temps are under control anything within 1.5v should be completely fine.

Well with the cooling hes running we arent worried at all, that rad is in a room that is constantly 15 degree ambient so his temps are icey cool

Yeah that's fine, just don't go overboard to reach whatever target you have in mind, it won't change your real world performance so it's not really worth slowly killing your CPU.

4.8ghz is what he wants i know its easily achievable on his chip as i set it to 5.0ghz about a year ago when he first built it.. im so rarely playing with lga2011 chips though i wanted to double check i didnt forget proper voltage

Well it's not going to be too easy, unless you have a really great CPU. I also have a 3930k and a custom loop, I start to have to increase the voltage like crazy to get past 4.7-4.8ghz.

ive had that chip at 5ghz before just gotta redo it cause he cleared his cmos for some reason
