Overclocking i7 9830k, any point?

[jamess109]

Hi my new rig is gonna be:

ASUS Rampage IV Formula
Intel Core i7 9830k
G Skill Ripjaws Z 16GB DDR3 PC17000 2133MHz (XMP)
Corsair H60 CPU Cooler
Corsair CMPSU-850HX PSU
Thermaltake Overseer RX1 Case
Asus GeForce GTX 580
OCZ Vertex 3 Series MAX IOPS Edition (System Drive + SSD & HDD for slaves)

With running this setup at stock... would there be any point or noticable difference overclocking the system???
I understand back in the single and dual core days where frequencies were low and really bottlenecked we needed to overclock for better performance. But with the amazing speed with processors today from Intel, I feel there wont be any improvement with overclocking.

Now I have no actual background with overclocking except turning on the XMP settings on my 1366 system, which does boost frame rates on my gfx card GTX580 on certain games from 1066/1333 to 1600mhz. So i get the benefits out of that but not sure CPU would be improved...

Is my specs above good enuf to overclock if i wanted (mostly the cooler)...
And how far should I increase it to n wat settings should i change?

Thanks...

Hi there,

Overclocking one of these CPUs can yield you ~40% improvement in clockspeed. In CPU-hungry applications this will yield an almost proportional increase in performance.

That said, may I ask what you are using that system for? For a workstation it looks really good (though I would change the CPU cooler to a much quiter tower heatsink - like a silver arrow, phanteks or noctua nh-d14 and switch the SSD to a Crucual M4 or Intel 520), though if you are mainly just gaming then the CPU and motherboard are heavily overspec.

It's mostly for everything. I don't want to limit myself for in the future what i want to do on it so future proof. But mainly DX11+ gaming...

I've read a review on Vertex 3 Max IOPS vs M4 and Intel 520 and they came out with a pretty low score review. Plus being that its a sanforce controller unlike crucial's Marvell driver (which my other drive is a Crucial Real SSD C300 w/ marvell controller).

I've already bought the MB, RAM, SSD, H60.

I chose the H60 because i want the motherboard to control the cpu speed unlike the H80 which u gotta manually control in side the system. I like Asus's EPU system - i got the P6X58D-E at the moment. I didnt want any actual heat sinks (aka dust collectors) even with fan filters... I wanted to go for a non maintenance water cooler hence the H60.

do you mean 3830K?

mine hits 4.5ghz with no effort, but I have a Silver Arrow cooler, the H60 is actually not very good and noisy in comparison to a good air cooler, that will limit your overclock

the rampage formula is also overkill IMO, something like a pro or deluxe (or GD65 or UD5 or UD7) will be fine, unless the rampage particularly has a feature you want over one of the other X79 boards

if you set up your case airflow correctly (e.g. positive pressure) you shouldn't have too much of an issue with dust (my last PC was set up 4 years ago and when I pulled it apart it still performed the same even though the cpu heatsink fan did look slightly dusty)

if you are having issues with dust then a radiator will get just as dusty as an air cooler :/

yeh my bad 3930 dunno where i got 3830 from lol typo
the deluxe version does have some good features for £20 less (on amazon) but I wont need bluetooth (iphone user) wont need wifi as such because wired is faster. And it uses marvell 6gb controllers which my P6X58d-e has which doesnt work properly. Im giving ASMedia controller a try (thats if I get more sata 6 hdd's).
The PCI-E Layout is how i want it on the rampage. I may upgrade to dual SLI GTX 680's when available and i get the money! TPU would have been handy but I couldn't expect that on a higher board.

I rather go all out on my equipment then feel held back in the future just because I didnt want certain features at this the time.
