Overclocking help for 5930K on MSI Krait

No need to mess with straps at all.

Quick way to see what your chip can do is have mobo set up as optimized default. Change all the multi's to 4.6Ghz. Set CPU volt as 1.4V, set Vring to 1.2V.

If you can run Intel Burn Test, Cinebench etc with that setting you know your chip can maintain 4.6Ghz. Then just back off the CPU volts until you find the sweet spot for your chip. Choose a clock / voltage your happy with for 24/7 use.

1.3V 4.5 was all i did on mine. was happy enough that it was stable and not too hot

On krait it had a setting for pre setting on different memory types, samsung, hynix etc. I just selected Hynix 3200 16 and it bumped that SA voltage automatically of course I tried to lower it but wouldn't get stable so left it at that. Ram voltages are left at stock 1.35v though.

How have you tested stability?
