So I have XMP set, is it safe to use CPU Upgrade to do an overclock? having trouble find cache and SA. Only want an overclock of about 4.2 - 4.4.
Little help

Have been using the Gigabyte easytune software to run my tests so I could change settings whilst in windows. So far Aida stable at 4.3ghz with 1.25v and 0.25 SA. Set on XMP. The only thing I haven't changed is the Cache as can't see an option on the software to do so. 4.3 is enough for me I think.

To be fair, many of us mix & match.
I got about 1/2 my components from here & a few from other sites (due to stock shortages/preference
). But I can understand the desire to assist customers first & foremost as this is part of what makes this a great site/shop/community. The kind of overclocking tips & advice is part of the reason I buy from here, great to have that resource at hand.

Managed to reach 4.5ghz with your settings 8pack at just 1.25v and temps are good still. Can't believe how much these chips overclock. Gonna run 4.6 tonight and leave it on.

So just an update with things and my overclock. I am so far stable at 4.6ghz with these settings. I ran aida64 for 24hours and it came up with no errors, temps hit max 76 over that time. There is 1 thing though that's odd, 8pack told me to set uncore but the system won't boot if I touch that at all ? I have to leave it on auto. Is that a problem? I did read online some people having a problem with the gigabyte boards when messing with that setting, but I am on the latest bios which didn't seem to help.
XMP set
100 X 46
CPU Vcore 1.28v
SA 0.5v
CPU Vrin 1.9v
CPU ring 1.10v
I am not sure if I should try for 4.7ghz tonight, but would defo like to know why I can't touch uncore. Core voltage seems good though and at 4.5ghz only needed 1.25v

What is your default vRing? 1.05v? I don't have a 5930k but the 4690k uncore responds to vRing. Limit for aircooling on 4690k is 1.35v. I'd expect there to be a guide out there for your chip which will give limits for voltages on your chip.
