5820k overclock 24/7 use

~>Dg<~ · 22 Feb 2016 at 22:44

okay so im playing about with it at moment doing some benching and games.

whats best safe 24/7 temps volts ?

im at 4.4ghz at mo. temps pretty ok.

I've read that 1.300v is the max recommended for 24/7 use.

Out of interest how are you cooling the CPU?

~>Dg<~ · 23 Feb 2016 at 10:31

using the antec h1200

at 4.5 no problem

not tried any higher.just wanting to know safe temps/volts to stay under.

impressed with the cooler.must say though can hear pump a little.

I run 4.3 @ 1.125V

1.35v is max voltage,see if you can get the voltage down to 1.25 at 4.5ghz lots of 5820s will run at this

This is fine no issues. Play your games have fun.

Ahh so 1.35 is ok, hear that many conflicting reports on this.

im running 1.32 @ 4.4 any lower and it bsods while video encoding after few hours. Been like that from day 1 Now waiting for BW-E hehe

I got a duff clocker too. No amount of volts will make it hit 4.5GHz.

4.4 is possible at high volts but for encoding I see no difference at 4.3 and I get to run it at a very low voltage.

My 24/7 overclock is this:

1.5mhz away from 4.5ghz, and vcore set at 1.258v - never had an issue with it

Mine seems to be doing well at this mate, with a H110i instead of the Antec though. That's why Black Desert Online running at max details.

Why don't you guy use adaptive voltages?

I have my rig (5930k) set up to an oc of 4.4, which runs at 1.28 (auto volts), then at idle it runs at 1.2 and 0.85 volts!
To combat any issues with gaming and to ensure full whack stutter free performance I then use a little app called full throttle and assign a profile for games that need it so it runs at full performance mode. And unpark cores just to be sure.

With this I get full overclocked and fantastic stutter free gaming performance - when it's needed - but at idle the cpu is lovely and cool on 0.85 volts and my rig can run as silent as possible, which is a new ocd of mine.

We do.

But the op and others are referring to 24/7 safe volts and temps. Which implies that it's a permanent setting to me? i.e. it's staying at the same volts all the time. If not, then fair enough and I'll shut up

dakaiez · 2 Mar 2016 at 14:04

Mine underclocks at lowers volts when i'm not using it and when it turns up max volts is 1.276 although i will see if i can lower than at some point. That was my first try at 4.5 and it's been solid since.

Which uncore clock are you guys running ? might want to test default level uncore vs overclocked as it may not give much gain when overclocked and at default may let you get higher cpu clock at a lower voltage.Maybe it's like some of the boards have where best to set the default numbered value uncore and not leave at auto.

I dont bother with uncore/cache clocking. As my motherboard is a non oc socket model there isnt much point.

My interpretation of 24/7 is a voltage/OC that you set up and use for day-to-day usage, where as you could have a benchmark OC that pushes the volts and temps that you only use for occasional benching and not 24/7 use.

24/7 isn't anything to do with adaptive voltage.
