Hey there,

I just wanted to keep this short and quick so there's not a bunch to read

I just got my new PC-

Specs:
CPU: INTEL® Core™ i7-5820K Six-Core 3.30 GHz
FAN: Corsair Hydro Series H55 Quiet Liquid Cooling system w/ 120mm Radiator
MEMORY: 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4/2133mhz Quad Channel Memory
MOTHERBOARD: MSI X99S SLI Plus INTEL X99 Chipset
POWERSUPPLY: 700 Watts Power Supplies
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

-and I was wondering how I should overclock the CPU? Would Intel Extreme Utility work? or should I do it through BIOS and how?

Any suggestions?


Thanks

Yes your multiplier would be 40, but leave the cache multiplier alone...at least for now. I also would not recommend higher than 1.25v either, not with that cooler. It's just underpowered for overclocking a CPU like this. I would stick with the 100 strap as well and not try messing with the 125/166 straps, ect, as you have 2133 ram. Try running something like Realbench for stability testing. Also I would recommend reading up on some X99 articles for overclocking. There's alot more adjustment that can be done than previous platforms. You've got manual voltage, offset voltage, adaptive voltage for example.

You overclock by increasing the base clock multiplier in the BIOS. If you raise it too high you might need to increase the CPU operating voltage to make it stable and run without glitches and crashing.

Just google up on how to overclock an Intel processor. It is not exactly a simple thing to do, and it could ruin your Processor.

Stress test with OCCT.
It will stop the test if your cpu reaches 85c.

Gradually raise the multiplier in the bios from 33 to whatever.
Monitor the vcore. 1.25 is about as high as you want to go. no more than 1.30.
Past that you don't to run 24/7.
You cooler will handle that easily.

So at what multiplier would @ 4.00GHz be because I'm not looking to go extreme or anything? I'm guessing 40?

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/09/03/intel-core-i7-5930k-and-core-i7-5820k-revie/9

Here they got up to 4.30GHz but I think they also adjusted the voltage and bus speed?
