Post your 5820k overclock

4.3Ghz 1.2v on an Asus X99 Pro with custom water. Had 4.5Ghz 1.3v with my old motherboard, not sure if that is still applicable on the new mobo

hi i tried 4.3ghz at 1.24 and 1.25 and it crashed within 5mins using prime95.

Temps where fine though at no more then 75c?

At this voltage and clock it won't last more than a minute or two in any version of prime, small FFTs, AXV or otherwise. But it doesn't matter cause I don't ever use my computer for that. Instead I use a mix of RealBench 8 hours overnight for general stability and cause I do fair amount of encoding I specifically hammer it with numerous simultaneous x264/5 encodes. Been stable for everything I do for a year.

Wait so I shouldn't use prime ?

I just know it would require much higher voltages to be prime stable and therefore temps to achieve 'stability'. This would result in more power draw, more heat in my case and more wear on components. Which doesn't seem worth it to me when I am already stable for everything I do.

a lot of benchmark programs are stupid to use. just do what you normally do. most put undue strain on a pc which it will never actually do ever.

How are they stupid to use? how else are u supposed to test how stable your system is?

I have been Overclocking CPU'S since windows 3.1 days and its pretty common knowledge to use some benchmark to run to test how stable your system is. You cant just load up windows and continue as normal as a crash could happen at any moment!

If your OC can sustain prime or some other benchmark, your good to go.

i tried running my system as normal like you say at 4.4ghz and crashes half the time when i am imprting photo raw files into LR.

it also crashed once while playing Div 2.

This is AFTER ThrottleStop said everything was fine on there benchmark...

So i decided to use prime95 instead
 
use it but many progs that stress at 100 percent are unrealistic. you will NEVER use your pc to that potential ever. just use your pc as you normally would.if it doesnt crash doing what you normally do its fine. you could have extra speed and enjoyment for years which you probably wouldnt based on something you will never replicate in daily use.

I agree with this. The fact that crashed during your LR import should be indicator enough. Unless you have a J batch version then I wouldn't expect anything close to 4.5Ghz+.

Yea but how am I supposed to test properly? I can't just always test using lr .there is supposed to be tools that test it properly

I think that throttlestop and P95 are opposite ends of the stress test spectrum. I like realbench cause it's a bunch of different stessful programs running at once. 1 hour is probably enough for general stability but I always finish with an 8 hour run overnight.
 
Mine is still running happily at 4.3gig 1.3v (it's not a great chip)

As for stability testing x264 and 3d mark at the same time will crash pretty quick if my OC isn't stable.
I prefer to use a few different benches and games to find what's "stable"
I have always thought running the same thing for hours/days is a waste of time..

Once I've found what seems stable I'll usually drop the clock back a little for 24/7 use.
I can't tell the difference between 4.4 and 4.3.

I don't see any reason to upgrade this cpu at the moment.
