My 5820k Overclock

[Hedge]

Hi Guys.

Been a while since I've tinkered with my PC, I built it, put it at 4.3ghz and then kinda left it at that.

However I've been trying it out today with some higher multiplier. I have the multiplier currently at 46.

It's installed in an Asus X99 Sabertooth.

I followed this guide here.

people mention voltages a lot but I've not tweaked mine. Its currently in "adaptive" according to Intel Extreme Tuning Facility. Under stress test its Aida 64 is saying the core voltage is 1.308v (is this safe?) Package temps seem to top out at 75c. Cores around 60-70. This is watercalled in a loop with a 480mm radiator and a Gtx1080 in loop.

The system seems stable in these tests but I suppose I'll have to run a stress test for a lot longer before I can say its stable.

Anyone have any tips or comments on a build like this?

Thanks.

As long as the voltage is below 1.35v for everyday use you are fine but for 4.3Ghz I would suggest to lower the voltage to below 1.3v. Your temps are also fine.
For stability test, you don't really need to run complex tests just test it which Asus Realbench Stress Test (ARST) for 1-2hrs and keep testing it using your daily tasks.

1.308V is safe and the temperature is fine, but I think you don't need that much for 4.3Ghz, my 5820K at 4.5Ghz needs 1.25V and my friend's 5820K needs 1.27V, so I guess you can increase your clock or lower your voltage.

I've just ran Heaven benchmark which I understand doesn't use Cpu much anyway. But it's meant my Gpu overclock failed to complete the bench. This Gpu overclock was fine last night. Weird.

Thanks for the input guys.
