wondering if I should push for 4.8

ive stress tested my overclock for 4 hours at 95% load and it all stable with temps reaching 67 degrees

not to sure if I should take voltage higher than 1.251v

atm I'm just using a corsair h80i seems to be doing really well


what you guys recon ?

many thanks
 
As above keep it under 85 degrees. Maybe think about investing in a bigger AIO watercooler if necessary. How are you testing your overclock?

The average 5820k under AIO you can expect to get 4.4GHz or so without putting too much voltage through it.

Are theese recent batch chips Joe? No idea on how mine clocks yet as I'm still waiting on a few parts. Batch no is.

I'm not sure how to interpret batch numbers, mine is J501B645 so take that as you will.

Mine gets 4.5GHz @ 1.26v, not tired to take it lower yet - 4.65GHz was also stable but I toned it down to 4.5GHz cause I wasn't sure what was causing my computer to crash when benching.

Most of the 5820ks I have seen have been getting 4.4GHz or so, with a few unlucky people not being able to get higher than 4.2... I think it's a fair enough thing to expect.
 
I've read up a little on batch numbers and heard good things about the more recent J ones. Looks like a decent enough one you got.:)

Hopefully have mine up and running soon so I can have a crack at it.

Aye, J chips seem to be decent ;):D

And you probably got one i guess.:D

I've never had much luck on the CPU front tbh. Best ever is probably a q9550 that ran at 3.8ghz on 1.200v. Bought that one night when very drunk to replace a q6600 @3.8. Maybe should try that again.:cool:
 
I'd be interested to see where the L batches end up. That's mine (got it at start of August). Still sitting stock though as I'm too chicken to mess around with it at the moment and don't have the time either (I'll get around to it eventually).

I'll be happy with even 4Ghz though, I'm not greedy :D.
 
As per recommendations I've been doing a 5 minute run on OCCT to test stability - large 64bit data set.

Managed to get my 5820k down to 1.21v @ 4.5GHz, 4.8GHz @ 1.3v wouldn't even load Chrome after boot :(

@Joe - vcore isn't the be all and end all.

What cache you running?
Cache voltage?
LLC?

Asus stress for 2hrs and Aida are the ones I use but each to there own.

I had mine Asus/Aida stable for 8hrs - PC cars rocked it within 30 secs. :D

This is my 24/7 profile

4.4/4.0



I have 4.7/4.3 using 1.275v, but to get 4.8 it's too big of a volt jump and heat penalty :(

... Defaults? :p - I followed Linus' guide which was basically turn the multiplier up and voltage to 1.3v - Then I slowly lowered it down myself until it became unstable.

I have no idea what any of those are! :confused:
 
Remember to game stress test too, arma 3 falls down pretty quick on an unstable overclock if you've got that game.
