Overclocking 5930k

brighttail · May 15, 2016

Hey all.

I'm trying to eek a bit more out of my 5930k.
Currently I got it at 4.4 GHz at 1.32V. I was told to put my uncore to the same 1.32. My override is at 1.2v and Input voltage at 1.9v.
I'm running Corsair 2800MHz DDR4 ram at 3000MHz using the XMP profile.
I'm dead stable with these settings.

I can get to 4.5 upping the voltage to 1.35 and while it is fairly stable about 3/4 of the time using the REALBENCH 1 hour test. If it fails it is in the last 10 minutes. Raising the voltages voltages past this point really doesn't change anything and I don't want to go much higher.
I'm on water cooling so temperatures is not a problem.

I can get a little more moving the strap up to 126 and even 127.

I'm wondering if there is anything under EXTREME Tweaking that I can adjust to better stabilize my computer at 4.5?

Thanks,

I wouldn't really call a CPU that can't last an hour of RealBench "stable". I'd park it at 4.4GHz and call it a day. That's not a bad overclock at all. If you wanted to, you could try per core adjustments to get it to 4.5GHz turbo when two cores are in use, scaling back to 4.4GHz when the rest of them kick in.

I see people use things in the Tweaker's Paradise. I see when I try a overclock profile, they fiddle things in there making them Level 9 and doing a whole bunch of other things I'm not sure I fully understand. I have tried pumping the voltage. With my watercooling I can get it up 1.375 with no issues with heat still below 80C, but just not stable. So voltage is not an issue and just didn't know if there were other ways to stabilize it all.

I'm talking in particular about the cpu load line section, level 1 - 9 . I saw this often times been set between 7 and 9 for 160-180 % more.
