5820K Overclocking

[PCGuy_5960]

I just received my 5820K and the AsRock X99 Extreme4 together with Arctic Freezer i32 Cooler. I know that I cannot overclock much with that Cooler but how far would I be able to push it at stock voltage and how far with 1.00V (so that I won't fry my CPU)

 

PS: I am well aware that all CPUs are different, I just want something that usually works

At the most, 0.3 GHz beyond the boost clock on air. 0.5 GHz if you want to try but you'd probably need more voltage

You can run up to 1.35v without starting to damage your chip in the long run (1.35v is the highest daily driver voltage). I'd say 3.8-4GHz is doable depending on the chip.

OK. Thx... I was thinking of the same thing but I just wanted to confirm it

I am on air! It will definitely thermal throttle on 1.35V

No. It probably wont.

Considering the fact that it can handle a 4770k (notorious for being hot) at 4.4GHz at 60 deg C I'm sure it won't.

OK! Thx man, I'll try to get a good frequency at 1.2V but I will have to benchmark my rig first and  then check just how stable it is...

I'll let you know about my results...
