Trying to overclock my 5820k. I considered using the auto overclock thing but it just sets my voltage way to high. I got the auto setting to work at 4.2 But I would like to set it up so my first two cores are set at 4.5 and my other cores are set at something more mild like 4. I want this because I play a lot of games like wow and I notice my game lags in cities and that. I know it's just a hardware limitation and not anything else. I just would like to overclock my cpu before considering upgrading it to the latest gen.
Overclock settings for my 5820k

Hi litaidd,
As you seem to be new at this overclocking game, let me tell you that if you don't go step by step, you can ruin your CPU or the whole computer.
The rule is, let everything on auto,
then stress test and note your voltage and frequency and put them manually in bios.
Then you have two path to follow :
1°/ Better performance :
Bump your multiplier until it's not stable then bump voltage (increments of 0.025-0.05V)
Once you've reach the frequency you want, lower the voltage as much as you can as long as it remains stable.
2°/ Better thermals
Keep stock frequency and reduce voltage as much as you can until it's not stable.
Perhaps, your CPU will not be able to reach that frequency without a crazy voltage
TIPS : Stay below 85°C during stress test and below 1.35-1.38V for daily usage.

And also helpful to get a good advise is that you want to state your complete hardware including CPU cooler and case so that we can see if the temps you need to measure are good or bad.

Need a full hardware listing, cooling, ect. I have a 5820k and X99 deluxe motherboard. I had mine running at 4.4Ghz with 4Ghz Uncore speed and adjusted memory timings before "retiring" back to stock and gifting parts to family member.. I can provide details if you have the info needed and understand the risks.
