I have the Intel Core i7 5820k and the Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU cooler. I am wondering how much I can overclock it if I put the fans on max speed. Could I get past 4Ghz? My goal is 4Ghz, but how easily could I get there and could I go past that without severe risk to my CPU?

Whatever 5820k you get, its only guaranteed to be a 5820k, nothing more. That means it'll run stable at the 3.3GHz (as stable as any Windows system can be) that the 5820k comes stock with. How far past that OC will go is anyone's guess, not even batch numbers have any real success, but J chips seem to do better than L. I've seen posts of ppl with nh-d14 and h100i and the Phanteks PH-TC14PE taking their 5820k to 4.7GHz at 1.3v, the jump to 4.8GHz being to big to be worth the heat.

So chances are, you'll land anywhere from 3.3GHz to @ 4.7GHz. Just where, nobody knows, no by can predict, and thats as much as I will legally say on not reaching OC goals.

Overclocking, by definition, voids most warranties, even Intel. It's funny how ppl...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Intel cpu lottery. I've got a 3570k that won't hit 4.4GHz for more than 30 seconds, no matter if it's stress tested or not, even went up to 1.45v. Also have a 3770k that'll sit comfortably at 4.8GHz at 1.28v (high as I've pushed it so far). So whether your 5820k will reach 4.0GHz is a pot luck draw, it might top out at 3.8GHz or go to 4.4GHz. Excellent cooler btw, and best of luck with your attempts.

Ok, thank you. Is there any way, even if I get a reject of a CPU, that I can make sure I get the most of it?
