I am very new to overclocking, in my previous build I just let the Asus OC tuner thing go ahead and set whatever it wanted to set. But with this X99 build I went ahead and looked up how to do it myself as I read you can get lower voltages and ultimately temperatures that way.
First off some Specs:
CPU: Intel 5820K
RAM: Corsair 16GB DDR4 2400MHz
Mobo: Asus X99 Deluxe
Cooler: Corsair H110I GT
GPU: MSI GTX980TI
PSU: EVGA 850P2
After reading loads of Guides and forum posts I dived into the BIOS and set a mild overclock of 4GHz at 1.1v and set the XMP Profile of my memory. I did 4 hours of testing using Asus Real bench stress test and all seemed to go ok. I am happy with this small bump for 24/7 use.
My two main questions:
Is it ok to just leave everything else at auto? such as System agent offset voltage, cache ratios, cache voltage, input voltage etc.
Is it safe to run fixed voltages all the time into the CPU? i read i can input my voltage into 'Additional Turbo Mode Voltage' under the adaptive setting so that the voltage adjusts up and down with the load. But some people say that causes insatbility and even allows for the motherboard to apply more Voltage than i have set.
Any help would be appreciated.
