Hi I’m looking to increase the speed of my 5820k so it lasts me just a little longer.
it does 4.4 all core at 1.28 volts, but that seems to be it’s wall. If I wanted to try to clock individual cores higher (and keep the others at 4.4) what is the best way to do it?
Try each one at a time to see if it fails? Watch something like prime 95 to see which cores fail first? (I don’t like using prime for stability testing really just realbench)
I video edit on it, but I know a lot of games like a single fast core for the main thread, so I’m hoping I could get one or two of them up to 4.6 maybe?
I don’t have a cache overclocking mobo but have it set at a modest 3.5, my ram is at 3200/14/14/14/35
any help gratefully received
@Pooh I noticed you overclocked you 7960x by core, how did you do it?
