It is finally here, and that is the Haswell-E i7-5820k overclocking tutorial. This will also work for the 5930k and 5960x, since they essentially are the same chip.
The first part of the video is me explaining the characteristics of this CPU and how it compares to the smaller Haswell CPUs (2 and 4 core variants), one important thing to note is that I believe the sweet spot overclocks for the 6 and 8 cores kick in earlier (or at lower clocks) than the dual or 4 core variants, so with that in mind I opted to go for an overclock that I recommend to everyone and most likely everyone can do.

I rock the bigger brother the i7 5830k on my MSI X99S MPower Overclock Board (The Bumblebee) since 2014 and it will see 2025 in my use, I replaced the MSI GTX980 with an Asus RTX 3060 Ti Tuf Gaming OC 8 GB (The 3 fan model), And I am still happy.
Just wanted to pop up and say a big thank you for the video! I have just build my new rig with 5820k and started overclocking - but as I was new to this, I wasn't sure what voltage & CPU frequency to start with and your 1.11V @ 4.0GHz worked perfectly! Thanks!
Thanks for your tutorial it was very clear and helpful. I got my 5930 k to 4.2 ghz ,max temp was 56 c using aida64 stress test . Really appreciate your time you took to make this vid.
i got my 5820k too 4.2@1.008v, stable on prime for 12hrs. on an asus x99-a, kingston ram. all power savings turned on... just because happy days.
Damm, 1v ? Mine only runs from about 1.2 onwards
One thing to point out. The manual states when over clocking to use the 1-3 psu cable for power stability. This is a cable that powers the CPU on the motherboard that splits into 3 to hook up 3 cables from your psu.
Last monday I OC'ed my 5820K to 4.1GHz at 1.08v (could probably go lower) on a MSI X99S SLI KRAIT Edition motherboard. It just took a 1minute and everything runs smooth.
@Tech YES City 4 years after I gave up on overclocking this thing, mainly because I didn't really need it much at the time and because I was tired of trying, your settings worked beautifully. I wish I found this back then. Almost identical settings on the F22 bios and went from 3.3/3.4GHz, no XMP 2133 to 4.0GHz w/ 2400 XMP w/ identical settings except for Vcore at 1.07V and uncore 37x. 4.1GHz@1.15V and
4.2GHz @1.2V I needed this CPU upgrade now that I want to game a little again.
Got one of these 5820k's and underload running at 35 celsius at 4.5ghz
So.. I've had my rig for awhile now and have kind of put off overclocking for a bit. and then i found this.. Happy AF right now cause i happen to have an i7 5820K that was brand new when i got it. also an MSI X99 Mobo .. these settings worked perfectly. no funny buggers!!!!! XD
How convenient, I had just loaded AIDA64 before watching this video. I'm glad you mentioned other monitoring software "exaggerating" temps because it really had me considered that tools like HWMonitor was saying I was getting 47c under load and AIDA showed 38c and RealTemp showing 42c. I wasn't used to getting that big if a difference with my temps :/
I just built a PC based on this CPU. Got the mobo, ram, and CPU for about $410 USD. I'm at 4.5ghz with 1.25v running good.
actually have the exact same setup
this tutorial should be easy to follow
Thanks for the vid. Got an interesting result with this...
1.11v @4.3GHz - stress test took my CPU to 4.3GHz (viewed in task manager and ASUS AI Suite).
1.2v @4.5GHz - stress test took my CPU only to 4GHz. (viewed in task manager and ASUS AI Suite).
I am stressing with Intel Burn Test.
The stress test was burning the CPU at 100% but the frequency didn't actually get there when i took to 4.5GHz - it was actually slower then the 1.11v@4.3GHz. I guess this would suggest instability @4.5GHz.
+Hayden Krause adjust your windows power settings so that they are on performance mode.
Hey, thanks for posting this. Same CPU and mobo combo that I have. Appreciate the tutorial.
I run mine at 4.2ghz with a 1.2 voltage. Works great, no issues.
Had 3 different Ivy Bridge i5's that couldn't get to 4.1ghz (on a Gigabyte UD3H board) so getting an i7 4790k with 4.4 turbo out of the box was so worth it. Got a Asus Hero VII board and even upped it to 4.5ghz.
yeah the 4790k with a guaranteed 4.4 out of the box really is a pretty decent deal.
Tech YES City It's 50$ off what I paid for it months ago, great steal right now at 289$ 'Murican.
I used the software that came with X99-A by Asus and got to 4.6ghz. Haven't done Aida 64 yet, but the system is stable while gaming. The Phononic Hex 2.0 tower cooler keeps temps low at all times. With more tweaking, I'm sure I can exceed 4.6ghz.
can you do a overclock video for the x99 asrock uefi
As Tiny Tom Logan from OC3DTV pointed out, you get what you pay for with the i7 5820k - and that is a poorly binned six core, so if you need the cores its great for the money, but if you want real "overcklocking-umpf" per core(and 40 pcie lanes) the i7 5930k is the way to go.
Depends though, if you read a little bit down there is a dude getting his to 4.2ghz at 1v... lol...
Tech YES City
... yeah i guess in the end its all about the silicon-lottery. xD
And wow, come to think of it you can get a 6-core Hasswell for under 400 dollars now, thats +2 cores for under 100 bucks - and thats not even counting the extra pcie lanes or ddr4...i smell best buy of the year here together with the 970. :D
Tech YES City
lol 4.2ghz 1v... thats... WHAT?
paid 220 dollars for mine and get 4.3 all day long, BLCK 1.75v. runs great
Desolutional thats good news.
I got my chip running @ 4.6 @ 1.2v on my X99 SOC Champion.
Thank you for this video! Mine worked first try. 4GHz @ 1.1v
4.0ghz is still pretty decent for single threaded applications. And with the plastic toys now pushing low clock rate with 8 cores, I'm hoping that we'll finally see some game optimization of thread usage. I think the 5820k might not be the best in the current times, but given it's still a baby, I'm hoping that software development will be moving towards stronger multiprocessing usage.
Goat Computers My 5820k @ 4.6Ghz disagrees. :D
Raiden the Ripper ASUS X99-A
Thanks Man! I had to use the exact same settings too. Bad luck in the lottery
I think the chip being OC'd is a little slow. I have same cpu with corsair h60 at 4.6 Ghz and 1.3v. Used AI Suite III 5 way optimization which worked a charm. I've found the newer updates to be stable (had conflicts with precious ones).
I too used AI Suite III to OC to 4.6ghz. It never crashes, however, I'd like to stress test and see what happens.
Your desktop is an OCD's nightmare.
+GrumpyGat Just the way I like it :P.
+Tech YES City
And just the way I hate it. >_
Tech City Weaksauce, i got my i7 5820k to 4.7ghz at 70C
PainBlame Damn, that's unfair... Mine can barely get to 4.4 at 80C. :/
Or Aviram Get a Cosair water cooler.
GREAT VIDEO ive done it, its working and the system is a way FASTER 4.0 perfect . gigab. MB
Should we disable Intel SpeedStep Technology?
I'm hitting 4.5GHz stable on my 5960x on all 8 cores. AIDA64 stable.
I can overclock my cpu to 4.1 at 1.11 core voltage. However, I am just not sure why the core voltage wont go down even the cpu is in idle state. It stays at 1.1 all the time. My motherboard is asus x99-a.
You are not lucky with your i7-5820K....I built a new rig with MSI X99S GAMING 7 motherboard and i7-5930K.
I found a stable overclock at 4,7GHz@1,25Vcore ! Uncore at 3,8GHz (Vccin=2,1V and Vring=1,18V)
Stability Tests : 12 hours of Aida64 "CPU+FPU+Cache+Memory+GPU" test and 8 hours of ASUS ROG Realbench 16MB => stable.
Max core temps under Prime95 v26.6 @ 22°C ambient temperature : 74°C for the hottest core and 68°C average temperature on the 6 cores (HT enabled of course). Noctua NH-D15 + 2 fans Noctua NF-A15 1500rpm.
For Prime 95, your are right. It mustn't be used on Haswell-E for versions later than 26.6. They inject insane currents through CPU and Motherboards.. It is recommended to use Prime95 v26.6 Small FFT's tests to evaluate core temperatures under full load.
With or without liquid cooling?
+Incxption
With Noctua NH-D15. By the way, this is not stable With OCCT large data set, which is a Nice and tough test. I am now Rock stable OCCT/RealBench/Aida64 at 4.6GHz With vid=1,15v. !!
+genergia I have a very similar cooler to yours the Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK. Do you have all the settings for your cpu at 4.6Ghz? I would like to try them out. Thanks in advance!
+genergia im interested in overclocking a 5960x with a cooler master air maker 8. Just planning this all in theory in my head and i wanna know what to be prepared for. Gonna be my second personal. Build and my first time overclocking in general.
Incxption I don't think you should ask people with different cpu's and different coolers on what you should expect. Go ask on a forum to see what people got with a similar set up.
somehow managed to get 4.2 GHz Oc on mine :) followed through the video and just adjust some voltages. Currently at 127.3 x 33 @1.140 V. Originally was at 100 x 42 with stock ram speeds but with the XMP profile turned on, it makes my ddr4 to run at 2800, it also changed the bus speed to 127.3 for the CPU. Anything lower than 1.140 V and it pretty much won't boot and will get stuck at the windows logo upon re-start :(.
One thing I can say, my 5820K definitely runs hotter even at 1.140 volts and thats with a custom water loop an the EK Supremacy EVO. The temperatures I get at full load with 1.140 volts on the 6 core is at the same temperatures to my 4 core 4790k at 1.252 V running a 4.8 OC.
after so long..... since i have just upgraded from 1080p to 1440p/144Hz, a bit of a need to overclock my 5820K to get a bit more performance to meet higher frame rate... managed to get it to 4.2GHz stable at 1.14v in BIOS and shows 1.138v in windows
edit : on Asus X99 Sabertooth
Is this CPU good for eSport gaming?
CS:GO,Overwatch,Valorant and DayZ?
I found a cheap PC with 5820K and 1060 paired with 16GB RAM.
YAY!!!! You're the best :D Thanks so much.
My 5820k does 4.2GHz @ 1.13v on MSI X99S Gaming 7. Ring clock hits a wall at 3.5GHz though. Temps are just under 70c under at 100% load.
everything great, music intro so loud and annoying
same motherboard & CPU. exact same issue with uncore, anything above 33 will not boot. but stable with exact same settings.
+Yves Theunissen awesome you can get the core clock up, but yeah that uncore is insanely low to cap out - was surprised.
What does the uncore do? Or cache ratio ? How much performance gain when going higher then 33? My i7 5820k is clocked at 4.3 atm
Yeah, I get what you mean when you say that the overclock passes the Aida 64 Extreme test, but fails rendering a video. It has happen to me. So now, I do an Aida test for 5 plus minutes, and then I do a video conversion from .ts to .mkv for a 2 hour video, that usually takes 2 hours and 20 minutes to finish, if it finishes the conversion, the overclock passed. But, I had the conversion fail and a PC shut down after 1 hour, and 50 minutes. So, it is very important to test the overclock with a video rendering or conversion, of at least 2 hours. I've used Prime 95 with the same results, but like you, I prefer Aida.
you run Prime95 v28.5 over hours? My 5820k crashed in the same moment starting prime95 with the tutorial settings. Now i run 4.3ghz on auto volt, it crash after 15minutes in prime95. I hope its ok for 24/7 workstation 3d computing... i mean aida64 run 2 hours and intel extreme tuning utility run 1 hours whitout problem.
Paniinfo I mean doing a Prime 95 or Aida Extreme test is good, but you should test the overclocking with the actual CPU demanding work that you do, that's the real test.
I just got an Asrock x99, i7 5820k build. I've heard people do like 4.4 and above with these... ehhh not me, lol. I think it would be way more practical to OC to the 4.0hz you showed. MY QUESTION is, how long can it maintain these settings? I don't know much about overclocking, admittedly, but I do know it puts a lot more stress on the cpu.
When I move my UNCore voltage above 3.30 the BIOS won't boot. I started out trying 3.90, then 3.80, then 3.60 and for now I've left it on AUTO at 3.30. I'm running the CPU at 4.0 and about to test out 4.10 and 4.20.
Heya. You mention in the beginning your UD4 has been crashing randomly. I have had a gaming 5 which I returned and now a UD4 which crashes whenever I am trying to record with any recording programme after random time. Latest BIOS. What happened with yours? What mobo did you settle with afterall?
5820k can go up to 4.5ghz / 1.3v no problem (with water cooling)
is it a hardware issue if AIDA64 Extreme throws up an "Out of System Resources" error? I get this even on stock clocks across the board. I have had the CPU for a few months and no stability issues when its subjected to premiere pro, Blender(Cycles CPU or GPU, Luxrender both old and Luxcore, as well as Renderman) no issues so I want to blame AIDA64
I have a problem... Every once in a while my sound turns robotic, if i restart the windows audio services it works for 2 minutes and then it it gives a loud beep. What could this be? I have a gigabyte z97 g1 sniper, a i5 4790k, nvidia gtx 970 msi, and a bequiet power supply of 750 watts.
Sounds like either drivers or faulty cable.
In my build i am planning to use the same CPU (5820) and planning it to OC. Also, for motherboard i am thinking to use X99S MSI Plus. In this video you mentioned that your MSI motherboard just "died". Could you please elaborate, what happen, would you still would recommend MSI Plus motherboard. I saw your earlier review on MSI Plus mother board.
I can get mine to 4.3, however it becomes unstable. I think it is because I used the one click OC in the motherboard. if I had set the voltage to 1.300 I think it would have been fine. I backed off to 4.1 and all is good with one click. It passed the stress test.
Hey , I wonder how far did you manage to push it now days?
I find mine to be very similar to yours , with any uncore value above 33 results in failed boot...
This is my first custom PC build and right now im running the Asus X99 Sabertooth with the 5820K, My issue is that I am on default settings and my system randomly freezes with turbo mode turbo on. I have the h100i cooler. anyone heard of a fix for this, I am new to building my own PC so I am still learning.
Great Tutorial!!! Helped me a LOT! :)
One Question though: Can i leave the "CPU Ring Voltage" on "Auto"?
Maybe I'm wrong but 1.11vcore sounds pretty low for a 4ghz oc, 1.2 volts for 4.2ghz doesn't sound too bad. You can't go any higher with the multiplier at 1.2?
Trent Foley I got 4.4ghz at 1.27v 4.2 at 1.21v , hope this helps
Trent F he found the perfect sweet spot. Overtime that sweetspot may go higher as cpu degrades. That happens over years or may never even happen.
thanks for the tutorial. i saw your temperature was around 50°. mine is around 50° if its not under stress at all and rises to 66 under the stress test.
do i need a better cpu cooler or do i need to change some settings in bios? i have a shadowrock 2 from be quiet atm
thank you for your time
edit: i changed some bios settings now so the fan kicks in earlier and its around 62° now is this a good value ?
Another great tutorial!!!!!
Hi, i bought this board and came with the bios F2 and i upgrade to the
latest F22, but i lose the classic gray - advanced mode , even if i
press the F2 button that just change to the simple mode/ new GUI HD UEFI setup screen mode. There is any traditional classic gray mode in the F22 bios? Thanks
Mine Crashed first try, corrupted files in windows (fixed now) and had issues getting bios going again (clear cmos swapping gpu output). I suspect vrin 1800 wasn't stable, in auto vrin was 1824 no overclock.
Okay, I really need your help. I did exactly as you did, and it booted up perfect after the overclock, but If I was to shut it down then restart the PC It will not boot properly, and will ask me if I want to reboot from stock settings. PLEASE HELP ME.
+GamerJlee Yeah just boot into stock settings and give it more voltage on the CPU. try 3.8ghz first.
+Tech YES City how much voltage?
try 1.13 on the cpu first. leave the cache at default for now.
+Tech YES City Yeah for some reason now it will turn on, not fully boot turn off, and then boot, but I will give that a shot buddy thanks 😊
just reset the cmos byclicking a button on the back or just taking the little battery out for 15seconds and putting it back in.
thank you men for your time
So, I just did a build 5820k, asus x99-a, Kingston 3000mhz ddr4 and looking for an overclock. Will attempt this on my system. You think it should work fine with my setup? Right now it's at 4.0ghz from just enabling the xmp profile on my ram and I guess the mobo auto oc'd?? But it's at 1.2vcore I'd like to lower that.
i have the same cpu & motherboard as you do but this these settings i cant boot just keep getting a bios message saying boot failure.
The description for the uncore ration of the motherboard said that it's recommended to set the uncore equal or higher than the clock ratio. What is better: lower or higher?
Is this cpu significantly better for strictly gaming?
Or should I save my money and buy the 4790k?
can't get mine to boot with any combination of these settings or even upping the voltage. how high should 8 go with the voltage? X99 5820
I have an ASUS motherboard and the BIOS options are completely different. It has some AUTO tuner on and its driving me nuts, can you help?
I didnt understand this part 4:35 cuz my english isn't that great :P So I have to run the stability test couple of times: for example 1 time each day, a week long to make sure everything works correctly before overclocking. Tell me if I'm wrong! Thanks
It doesn't allow me to change my ratio it is stuck on auto but I have an i75820k haswell E
Im have the x99-ud3 with newest bios. I cant get the cpu to overclock using your guide anyw suggestions? Mine actually posts on the bios as 3.4 ghz and a .99 voltage
What about turbo boost should it be enabled?
I am having BSOD even at 3,9 + 1,13v while heavy rendering in 3ds max ..
X99 cpu's are known for being lazy overclockers i dont think you got a bad chip bro more like you were limited by your mobo because i managed to get a 4.6Ghz OC at 1.3 volts on my 5820K on the AsRock x99 professional gaming i7
Tech Yes City, dumb question but does your board have the extra pins, and the is the switch (if it has it) to enable them turned on?
+Morefiend Ruinous Motherboards that have the extra pins don't have a switch to disable those pins. Also you would not want to disable those pins since they should give you a better overclock.
Asrock x99 extreme 4 getting 65-70 temp with core voltage at 1.2 is there anyway to lower the temps without resorting to watercooling (ot any specialized cooling)?
I'm purchasing this either tomorrow or today, and just wondering how much a 4Ghz OC degradates the chip? Just for this arguments sake, 4.0Ghz @ 1.1v? And then 4.4Ghz @ 1.3v? Would it give me at least 4-5 years out of it?
***** 4.0ghz at 1.1v is babying it, nothing to worry about, as for 1.3v, haswell hasn't been out long enough to find out lol...
Hi your advice at 11:10 contradicts what is on screen, it says "It is recommended to set the Uncore ratio equal to or higher than CPU clock ratio" could you explain the reason for this?
slr150 My own benchmarking in the past, also Intel officially recommended the uncore be 100mhz lower than the clock.
hey bri-bri I got a question. I'm upgrading/retrofitting my production rig to include this CPU. i tend to lean to Asus motherboards but this would be my first foray into x99. I'm going back and forth between MSI x99 SLI plus and an Asus anything ATX sized with 128gb total ram capability. opinions?
ooh, overclocking would be priority. power savings not really.
I'm looking to oc this thing but it won't even go over 3.8 for some reason even if I put in like 40 or 41, 42 it just doesn't.
try 125 blak got my 5820k @ 4.3 ghz also 4.2 ghz cpu cache 3000 mzh ram 1.275v runs sweet all day long even survives prime 95 but watch vrm temp in prime 95 after 2 hr gets a bit toasty but its stable cpu max temp prime 95 81c with nzxt x63 280 aio cooler
Hey I need help. I have an asrock x99 extreme4 with an i7 5820k Can you please help me to overclock my stock cpu to 4.0ghz?
I updated to the latest bios F22 and at 1.13volts I still can't even boot into windows. Any suggestions?
you said your board was randomly crashing. as is blue screen alo?. i have the GA-X99-SOC Force an i didnt have problems when i first booted windows an now its randomly blue screening an cant find out y an for some odd reason it has not blue screen for 5 hours now idk what it is blue screens alot then times it dont do it at all an i did the memory test an no sign of defect at all. any ideas pls let me know ive been dealing with this for the past week
That doesn't sound like the Bios. Try reseating everything, I had a loose sata cable causing my blue screens once upon a time. The problem I am talking about with the Gigabyte Bios is to do with stable overclocks being locked in and then computer crashing/resetting overclocks upon boot.
Hey Tech maybe you can help me with this. I have an ASUS X99 pro motherboard that has some kind of feature that is preventing me from overclocking my 5820k. I will go into the bios and go to the 'AI tweaker' menu enter 41 on the CPU clock ratio setting. Hit F10 save and restart. However upon opening up CPU-Z after the reboot it doesn't say I'm clocked at 4.1ghz!! There has to be some kind of shit software that is preventing me from keeping my overclock.
+Phaerimms2 you have not turned off the power-saving technology intel area must not
What happens with turbo boost when overclocking? Should I turn it off?
When using the MSI X99s Sli plus motherboard will i be able to use the same settings as you?
If wanting to keep my PC quiet, using a Noctua NH-U14s cooler and Define R5 case, could I do some moderate overclocking, like maybe 4GHZ to 4.4GHZ? (Asus x99 mobo) . I want a quiet, low dust computer.
i have a 5820k + x99 asrock extreme 4
can anyone tell me the setting he is using to oc?
+Riccardo Pivetta The bios....
What do you think about
RAM : HyperX Predator DDR4 3000MHz 16GB
GPU : 2x Nvidia GTX 970 SC
CPU : Intel Core i7-5820K, Socket-LGA2011-3
will these work well with "MSI X99S SLI PLUS, Socket-2011-3"??
Thanks in advance :)
Go with 1 Gtx 980 (Ti if you want ) instead of 2 Gtx 970. 2 970s would be really crappy because you only have 3.5 Gb Vram!
xTheEvolution | RazeEvo That's still 7GB...so it really isn't "crap." ._.
Adrenaline™ In SLI the VRam is not added! Its still 3.5 VRam.
xTheEvolution | RazeEvo Sure.
Adrenaline™ Its true Vram doesn't stack never has but you might be in luck. DX12 is coming very soon and only a selected amount of games that support DX12 at the moment they will stack. I have a 980 Ti and might get another just for DX12 purposes.
11:07 funny how gigabyte says that when overclocking, uncore should be higher or equal to core frequency
I have been running P95 for an hour now, i am able so far to achieve 4.0 Ghz @ 1.12V stable on my 5820k Max load Temp is 64C using H105 cooler is that good?. please let me know, also i will do a 24/7 stress test later.
i got Haswell 2011 i7-5820k CPU, x99 gaming 5 motherboard, GTX 1080 Zotac amp extreme GPU... will a 750W Crossair powersupply be enough to overclock the CPU to 4.0Ghz ?? @Tech Ciry
I've been lucky with my 5820k, 1.1v at 4Ghz, 1.22 at 4.4Ghz, haven't tried going beyond, in the spring I plan to buy a very high quality AIC and Psu, then perhaps. Plan to upgrade from an H55 to an H110i or something equivalent. Btw I love my case, sort of flies under the radar, anyone heard of the Rosewill Stryker M? Man oh man does it perform well with cooling, just not super quiet.
+HypnoticSuggestion Get a noctua NH-D15 cooler, very silent, very cold ! ( if you can fit it in )
For me on CPU-Z it's whrite that the multiplier is 12 - 40 why, i have the samedi config
@Tech YES City , how long should I stress test the 4ghz overclock at?
in intel exteme utility using the msi x99s gaming 7 motherboard and a water cooled cpu system, what voltage should i change from default for the 5820K?
I want to overclock to 4Ghz from 3.4Ghz.
+Raghav Sood Well, you should really make the changes directly in your BIOS. Intel XTU is pretty good at running the tests but its always better to change settings from the BIOS. From what I can gather on these chips you want to be looking at VCCIN, CPU Core voltage. Also, set your Vdroop or Load Line Calibration to the highest setting to be safe (you can work this down later along with voltage). Make sure Turbo Boost is disabled and C1E is Off/Disabled. Not sure about Uncore and ring voltage and ration though. YOure going to have to look somewhere else for that info
Crashed @ 1.12V testing at 1.13V i don't know if that is normal i guess i got one of worst cpus, will post the final results after 30 Hours.
My CPU Vcore was at 1.098v by default. I noticed that your default is at 1.039v. Is copying your setting of 1.110v safe?
+Ryan Wallengren Depending on your Power Supply Unit quality and stability of your motherboard, Whether it's your motherboard is willing to empower more voltage for CPU, then you should able to increase to 1.110v without any doubts. Still you're able to run at 4Ghz at 1.098v. You must make sure that you have installed proper cooling solution for your CPU, otherwise your CPU can get burnt at any moment.
If you want to increase further to 4.5Ghz you must set the voltage to 1.3v to 1.5v (Don't go above 1.6v or further this is dangerous for your motherboard and other components) within the range you can adjust it one by one after a stress test. This may give you a superior boost over your stock clock.
If you fail to reach maximum clock speed, you can go back to 4Ghz as a stable version.
well i just set some optimal settings activating some switch into the asus x99 mobo and as i run the test, cpu id displays i am already at 4125ghz, when stressing its stable at 100%, however, core temps go arround 100º instantly and cpu starts to throttle due overheating, (max 11%).. im so confused right now. Does that mean my heatsink sucks in a way its like not even having one? 100º in 10 seconds seems hardcore to me
+Josep aldosa Make sure you have your heatsink screwed down properly.
Tech YES City actually i just tried auto mode and fixed it. Also tried x40 and still works arround 70°.
+Tech YES City - PC Tech and Gaming Channel Hi - so my ethernet stops working when i follow this guide! running any over clock speed stops it working!
Is 37 degrees celcius bad for this processor I dont have it over clocked... Im scared nd it takes like 4 mins to get off the Asus loading screen then brings me to bios idk what to do!
That should be fine
Check if the bios is up to date and also loading might be slow if you use a hdd instead of a ssd
Marco Powell How to I update my BIOS?
+Kyzer Buhnzi I was fucking kidding I know..
+ShockWave Gaming I think your CPU/s Tcase temp is 62 or 65 celcius. So keep it frosty!
At 5:00 you said that faulty RAM could randomly make your computer restart and stuff, any possibility that dying RAM could be making my computer randomly turn off when playing games or do you think that's just a heat issue?
Heat
Yeah, I think that to, I'm just exploring all of my options before I spend some money lol
ToastyMustard Yeah could be a few things, try run memtest and reseat your gear.
Hold an eye on the temps, if it's the case that your components get hot(above 70 deg C, depending on components) If they don't get that hot, it might be your chipset, RAM or video card. Some of these things can be hard to trace down so good luck :)
CapnTates Figured out the issue, my radiator had a crap ton of dust on it.
I managed to get 4gig Prime95 stable at 1.050v. Haven't tried higher yet!

I haven't tried tweaking cpu voltage as such, I have over-volted ram to keep it stable (think its 1.2 stock) and a little on the system agent.
Also, I'm sure I heard its not a great idea to run prime95 on Haswell, not sure why though.
+Gazarhya Hey man i have a Zotac 970 amp but with this CPU if i use a cooler master evo 212 can i OC at all or should i just go Liquid since this system seem to run hot? I would like to prob get to your oc at 4.5 maybe 4.2-4.2 so system doesn't run as hot. Let me know any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!.

Spartan 212 first off, I am no expert when it comes to overclocking so bare that in mind, but you could try for 4.2 on that heatsink. If I want to stress my components I just use msi Kombuster 3 and monitor stuff independently with openHardwareMonitor (let Google be your friend!). With the msi prog, just select maybe 3 or 4 cores to stress and watch the temp of those cores, if it gets scary (which for me is much over 80-85c, although that's still within tolerance I think), then that indicates perhaps you can't deal with the heat fast enough.
If it's OK, try with more cores on load.
If it's still good, maybe try higher clock.
I suspect, though, you may not be able to run all cores for much more than 5 mins flat out before temps get a little fruity.
You could try adding another fan *on top of* your existing fan (both sucking air through the heatsink) as well as increasing air flow, this also creates lower air pressure inside the fins of the heatsink, which due to scientific cleverness, increases the ability of the air to cool the fin surfaces (adiabatic cooling).
Well, technically anyway!
On my cooler, at 4.5 the odd core tickles 70c but mainly it's around the 65 mark. But bare in mind that the cooling air is actually sucked through my case so it's about 31-32c before it even hits the radiator, and I have the fans set quite low, so I could cool more if I needed to with this cooler.
Spartan 212 I should add that I think the motherboard choice is really important too for stability, I'm actually running at 4.625 at the moment. I went down to 4.5 as when I last tried 4.625 everything was wonderful except when it came to rendering videos, it would 70% of the time fail to render (no crashes, just fail) after weeks of stressing and trying all sorts of software settings, I 'downclocked' to 4.5 and instantly all my problems were gone!
I have just updated the bios now by 2 version so back to 4.625 and all seems good. Overclocking can be a mighty wierd beast! :-)
Hey man, love the vid. Just a quick question do you have an recommendation for an air cooler that can give decent performance for over-clocking?

Get Fences from Stardock, it will make your life so much easier. Trust me.
Anybody know if the Asus Sabertooth X99 has the "initial display" function this gigabyte has at 15:02?
mine won't even go to 4Ghz?? what am i doing wrong?
Yo! Im going for a new gaming build and im not sure if i want 5820k or the 6700k. They are the same price but would 5820k on 4ghz out perform the 6700k on stock clock?
+MArius Moen Depends on the task, the 6700k will boost pretty high, however once you get to using programs that utilise a heavy amount of threads then the 5820k will poop on the 6700k and then some.
