5930k - 4.6GHZ

[N00bie]

Guys,

Is this good for an overclock?

5930k
4.6GHZ
@ 1.141 Core Voltage
6 hour test : 62c

This is under Water with a EK 240mm Block

Regards

most 5930k's require about 1.3v for 4.5ghz so yes that is very good indeed. mines at 1.24v for 4.5ghz and 1.335v for 4.7ghz. So quite a golden chip there. That temperature looks very good aswell.

It's a good clock if it's stable, is it stable?

Yes I got 6 hours from it...before my PC shut down automatically and hasn't given me any errors.

will run again tonight to ensure I didn't miss anything, it did BSOD at 1.135 Volts so I guess I couldn't get it any better.

Run 20-30 mins of prime95 and an hour of BF4 should give you a good idea how stable it is, maybe push the volts to 1.150 for added stability.

Run 5 minutes of OCCT, 64bit large data set. If it runs that without a BSOD then it's solid

Asus RealBench stress test for 2hrs - that'll weed out instability.

Crysis 3 or PC Cars also weeded out bad Overclocks for me.

I'm betting BSOD within 2 mins on any of the above CPU tests.

if OP hasnt ran any similar tests then yes most definately.

If its stable for the OP's uses no need to do any more stability testing!! just use and have fun.

For general use I like Whyscotty's style of testing. Real bench is real world apps.

Gonna smash some Arma 3 out tonight....5 hours of that should do it

Absolutely, just use your computer normally, 24 hours of prime95 is pointless, I like to run it for a short while just to test out different O/C settings to see if they've worked. It's a good place to start, if your system isn't 90%+ stable, prime will let you know in 10 mins.

I like the term "stable enough"
