Help Overclocking 5820k

silosmith · January 18, 2016

Hi I upgraded my cpu from a 8350 to a 5820k and everyone was saying that i need to overclock it ... Scared shitless I decided to try an give it a shot. My spec 5820k cpu , Gigabyte x99 sli, Motherboard ,xfx295x2, EVGA Supernova 1300 G2 psu, 16gb corsair 2666 ram, Corsair h110. The only thing I change in the bios is the CPU Clock ratio from 33. to 45 Cpu-z Says Core Voltage is sitting at 1.251, And I ran the stress test AIDA 64 for 1 hr with no problems, Temp 62-65. If I bump it up 1 more time the pc will not load into windows. Please let me know if I am messing anything up and what you think I should do from here ? Am i good with this speed or not ? I never overclock anything before so I am a major noob when it come to anything overclocking any help will be nice thank you.

If a clock speed isn't stable you either need to:

a) increase voltage

b ) lower clock speed.
