I've been trying to OC my i7-3820 to around 4.65GHz (just got a H80i GT). However, whenever I modify the BCLK multiplier, my computer crashes and it can't boot. I followed this https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/18fjx4/guide_so_youre_trying_to_overclock_the_i73820_i/
to the letter and it still wasn't able to boot.
So, I resorted to leaving the BLCK at x1 and overclocking my CPU to 4.2GHz. In this process, I forgot to turn off turbo boost, and now I'm pushing 4.87GHz when my CPU is at 100% load. It seems to be a stable OC, been running Prime95 for about an hour. Temps have topped out at 66 degrees Celsius.
Is it absolutely necessary to turn off turbo boost? This OC seems to be working well.
