Help me overclock my 5930K!

4.6 seems stable so far

Yea 4.7 Ghz won't even start the the bench before I get BSoD...

Well, you get to add more voltage or reduce the multiplier.

 

X99 has some finicky settings especially if your RAM is over 2400MHz. I've had to adjust quite a few more settings, but the voltage+mult+VCCIN is always the quick and dirty route to 4.5.

I got 4.6 Ghz, package temps still 60, running the bench MUCH better than 4.7 over past 2 minutes. Might try 4.65 just for fun.

Never mind i got another Blue Screen

Anyways at least I got my 5930K another Ghz, but no more

You could try throwing voltage up a tad bit if 4.6GHz appeared stable for long enough. Kind of fine tune it.

It's a good start. Run some stress tests to lock it in and make sure it's stable. If you're willing to do some more odd/extreme things in the future there's a decent amount of people here who can help out.

Really, I'm more scared of a F@H 100% utilization. Heats the whole damn house.

Aint that the truth.

 

With the H100i GTX you should be able to go to around 1.375 core voltage before you run into cooling issues. Honestly though, if you can run 4.6 at 1.300 core voltage you are in a good spot. 4.7 is difficult on X99 with factory cooling setups, 4.8 is nearly unheard of, and most anything higher needs LN2 (unless you're super incredibly lucky and got an awesome piece of silicon).

My Stress test has run fine for the past 15 Minutes, I have a feeling 4.5Ghz will work.

What's LN2?

What's LN2?

Oh oops. Of course it's Liquid Nitrogen.

[runit3]

What's LN2?

Liquid Nitrogen. You have to have a substantial set of balls, a ton of money or a sponsor, and time to kill.

Just did some MAJOR upgrades on my PC. Prepare to see a couple more threads by me in "Troubleshooting"

[Guest]

This marks approximately half an hour of stable stress testing. Yay!

[Guest]

1 Hour stable!

[Guest]

8 hours stable

[runit3]

8 hours stable

Nice
