Hi! I have overclocked my 5820k processor to 4.5 ghz using a voltage right under 1.3 and its super stable, but I cant reach any higher than 4.5 ghz with a voltage under 1.3
My temperatures is really low on my hackintosh i barely reach 50 on my big projects.

Theres a switch to enable higher voltages than 1.3 on the x99 board, do you think I could try that and go for something like
1.35 with 4.7 ghz?
Or would I risk hurting something?

I have a notcua nh-d15 fan

I see people on geekbench with a similar processor(Intel Core i7-4930K) reaching far over 5ghz.

Thanks,
Alex

Just because they're reaching it and can validate doesn't mean it's stable or that it isn't causing damage and shortening the life of the CPU or creating tiny errors that may eventually create problems with written data. I wouldn't go past the 4.5Ghz you're already at. That's a very respectable overclock at 1.2Ghz faster than stock. There's a reason they have a limit switch to the voltage and if you go beyond that you are taking the life of your hardware into your own hands. For some people that's not a consideration, they can afford to just grab another piece of hardware if something happens, so if that's you, great, if not, be happy with the giant overclock you already have.

Have you run Prime on small FFTs for 24hrs to verify your overclock ACTUALLY is relatively stable?

Hi

As what darkbreeze mentioned. +

Also I don't really recommend going over 1.3 unless you have a back up CPU.
