Tell him you haven't overclocked before?

 

For noobs, only touch VCore (manual voltage of course) and multiplier

 

With a $1000 CPU I am sure he can wait a little while with overclocking so you guys can do some proper research

CPU: I7 4790K(4.6@1.252v)                               Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed(Black)           Cooler: CM 212 EVO + NF F12 iPPC

RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB      Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB)      PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

Must be nice to have a 5960X...How do you buy a $1000 cpu and ask someone else to overclock it? :o jk

 

In all seriousness the board probably has very easy OC and a UEFI bios.  I've got the X99 Deluxe and it automatically overclocks the 5820k to over 4.0ghz on stock voltages.  Check to see if there's an auto tuner in the BIOS, if not or if you want to do it manually for the experience just watch some guides.

- ASUS X99 Deluxe - i7 5820k - Nvidia GTX 1080ti SLi - 4x4GB EVGA SSC 2800mhz DDR4 - Samsung SM951 500 - 2x Samsung 850 EVO 512 -

- EK Supremacy EVO CPU Block - EK FC 1080 GPU Blocks - EK XRES 100 DDC - EK Coolstream XE 360 - EK Coolstream XE 240 -

You can start by just increasing the multiplier and not even touching the voltage. You could probably get to a 40x multiplier on stock voltage. To go from there, just work your way up the multiplier while increasing cpu voltage. If he's got an average cooling system, 1.300 should be about your max; a good AIO can do 1.375, and custom loops about 1.400. Most anything higher needs extreme cooling solutions if you plan on running demanding tests for long periods of time.
