Just overclocked for the first time!

[Tyrosen]

I used an i7-5820k Haswell-e @3.3GHz. I then lowered the core voltage and raised the core clock until I hit unstability. My result was 4.7GHz with a voltage of 1.07V. I don't understand the spectrum of Overclokcing yet, so did I "win the silicon lottery", or no?

run stability tests for a few hours

The moment you run a stability test it'll crash with no doubt

4.7ghz on 1.07V??!?!  If that's true everyone would wanna buy your chip for OCIng contests

Yeah just did some 3 hours ago, still going, trying to run it for 3 days, because its a 24/7 PC for business. Temps running at around 64 C rn

What type of business does it run for? Sacrificing stability & longevity for performance may not be what you want

^^^^ look at my other post

What stability test are you using?

Asus Realbench

 

I've actually tried to go higher before, realbench would tell me 5 minutes in that I had an instability issue

That wouldn't even load Windows, but nice try.

Why wouldn't it load Windows?

 

I tried lowering the voltage along with the OC too, lowest it can go with a good oc is 4.1 at 0.97V

That CPU speed on a Haswell-E chip with that little voltage is not possible even if you had the absolute best Haswell-E chip produced by Intel EVER.  It's just that simple.  You're either misreading your voltages or your not running 4.7 GHz on 6 cores.

 

Show us a screen shot of your CPU voltage under a load and I'll gladly correct myself, but something tells me you're going to have a lot of trouble providing that.

Yeah hold up, Ill send a picture tomorrow, night, because, if you live in Virginia, US, you know its midnight right now, and the PC is running stress test. in my basement. Sorry, I might be wrong though, there were two options I could change for voltages.

[Tyrosen]

Nevermind....just checked it, instabilty 15 minutes in, resetting CMOS now, I left it downstairs with the monitor turned off. Sorry for getting you worked up. Went to the PC to try to prove you wrong, but yeah...

Here's the deal.  Voltages dictate temperature for the most part and CPU speed contributes to that in a very minimal way.  If you are running a custom loop with a 5820k @ 4.7 GHz with essentially max stock voltage, you would not be seeing anything close to a 64c temperature.  Something is getting misinterpreted.

[Tyrosen]

Turned voltage up to 1.15V, looks like its booting up again, I'm going to try to test for 8 hours

[done12many2]

I guess you didn't have time to hit that PrtScn and post that quick shot with one of your last two posts?

What do you mean with my last 2 posts? I didnt want to walk downstairs 2 floors down to get to my PC

 

EDIT: OH, no you misunderstand, I'm using my laptop right now, in my bedroom, on the 2nd floor of the house. The PC in question right now is in the basement level

You were obviously downstairs with your PC when you posted these.

Whatever man.  After you said that you couldn't provide any screenshots do to it being midnight, you continued posting further specifically stating that it crashed and that you changed the voltage again.  You don't make those changes from a laptop on the 2nd floor.

Try using AIDA64... I think that stress test might not be doing enough 

If your trial period for AIDA 64 is over you can try using CPUID's built in stress test

Yeah, I did not want to go downstairs 2 floors, like he told me to, then I got a little mad, went downstairs, with my laptop in hand, turned on the monitor, realized that it BSOD, stuck at 100%, posted THIS:

before taking cmos out, and waiting a minute, turned PC back on, set the voltage to 1.15V, started a stress test for 8 hours, and now, I am back upstairs with my laptop in hand. Are you implying I'm lying? I

Yes.  That's kinda what this entire thread is.

How would I benefit from lying? If I was lying, I would not have the benefit of having the CPU. All I was trying to do was ask a question about the OC, get it answered, then ask "How many cameras do you think it I could stream at one time 24/7:, since the PC is all about business, no games whatsoever.

He asked why you didn't take a screenshot while you were down there.

You never said that.
