5960k overclocking

Snodge · 30 May 2015 at 14:08

Good afternoon, I've recently purchased a 5960k, gigabyte x99 Ud4, 16gb of team dark 3000mhz ram it's currently in a watercooled loop just for the CPU.

After hours on prime my hottest core was 55 degrees so I'm deciding to overclock it nothing major but I was wondering if you had the rough settings for me 8 pack just to get to say 4.2 if something higher is easily achievable that'd be great.

Any sort of input would be fantastic.

8 pack?

How do I set up 3000Mhz on a 125 Strap. Simply make the strap 125 and multiply it until it's 3000 so 24?

What would you recommend to test temperatures AIDA64?

Snodge · 26 Jun 2015 at 13:16

All I want is to run my RAM at 3000mhz and maybe my CPU at 4200?

8 Pack said:
For 3000mhz enable XMP.

125 strap x 34 Core multi = 4250mhz Cache multi 24, VCCIN 1.9v SA+0.25v Vcore 1.25v Vcache / ring 1.25. Test!!

For this OC it should be very easy and basic.

Test using XTU stress test if you want to use synthetic stuff. Intel recommend this themselves.

When I tried to enable XMP 3000mhz it fails to boot. I'll try these settings now

I can't find the cache multiplier 24 or VCCIN OR SA settings at all in my bios

uploading pictures now.

Uploading the pictures now as I can't see it to save my life

there's a classic view but if you press F2 twice you go into another bios menu

Silent or 8 pack I can't seem to find those settings any ideas? I did link you to my photobucket which shows you exactly what I see when I'm in the bios.

The grey'd out ones aren't adjustable

Eventually tried all of settings 8 Pack.

Unfortunately at 34 multiplier it wouldn't even boot.

So I lowered it to 32 which booted into windows fine however under load it crashed pretty quickly?

Wondering if my board/cpu are just duds ?
