So this will be my first time overclocking a CPU as I haven't ever really had a need, and I may it even have a need now but I figured I would post it to the experts and get some feedback.

I recently bought a better build from new egg and though I am waiting for the parts to arrive I want to know how to do this before I get carried away and break something. I am going to be over clocking the 5820k to about 4 Ghz, I dont really need anymore than that and I am running a Gigabyte gaming G1 wifi motherboard, ddr 4 ripjaws 4, the 5820k, and a corsair h100i AIO for the cooling. I think 4 Ghz should be fairly attainable based on what I know of Haswell CPUs.

I know I need to get into the BIOs and change the multiplier to 40, and I am thinking the voltage to 1.15 as a starting point. Do i need to mess with anything else, I don't need to overclock the RAM as DDR4 is gonna scream right out of the box. Does anyone have any feedback or thoughts on this. any feedback would be appreciated.

Hey i7Baby and thank you for the response I have indeed looked at this but I was assuming the octocore might differences from the 6 core (Then again it is a haswell e and the die is the same so their methology would work that same way right?). I also somehow missed the listed voltages they used... wth is wrong with me today lol.

It's more of a method than looking for "magic voltages and clock speeds". Every CPU is a little different, so start with little jumps, test stability, watch temps, then go a little more. When it crashes, add a little more voltage. CPU heat/temp will probably decide how far you can go, unless you have a massive heatsink/radiator.

Not massive but it is a self contained high end AIO from corsair h100i. Thanks for the reply.

It's the same methodolgy for any cpu in the series.

i just built a 5820k rig, i used an x99 deluxe motherboard from asus. they have a 5 way optimization software that came with the board that does a one click overclock and I got it up to 4.3 ghz with that method. it was soo easy it was too easy. i might tinker wth the voltages a little manually to try to get to 4.4 or 4.5.

just was able to get it to be stable at 4425 MHz or 4.4ghz with x35 multiplier and 126.4 MHz bus overclock at 1.308 Volts adaptive voltage.

I did this using only asus ai suite overclocker and manually told it to shoot for a voltage of 1.309 V and also slected bclck (base clock) overclock. it did the rest.

I think it was actually stable at 4.5 ghz but the way the ai suite software works it backs it off 1 overclock b/c it couldn't get 4.6 ghz to be stable so even thogh 4.5 is stable it uses 4.25 ghz as the setting b/c it has a buffer of 1 multipier or so I understand.

btw this is my first computer I have overclocked b/c none of my other computers were capable of such shenanigins. but I am an expert tinkerer.

my temps are like cpu in the high 30's to low 40's deg C on idle it was max like 69 deg c when establishing the overlcok on my nh-d15. which means likely I could go for a little more voltage but I am not going to push it anymore given what jj has said on youtube about 1.3 volts being the safe max.
