Hello :)
I've built my own computers for a long time but have never tried to OC before. I just setup a 5820K with both an AIO and great air flow so I figured I'd give it a shot.
So far, I have:
-Set XMP to 2400Mhz (my memory is only rated at 2133, but it has run without problem)
-Set multiplier to 43x
-Set voltage to Adaptive (if I use "auto" the max I can get it 42x multiplier)
-Set VCore to 1.25V
Currently running OCCT my temps max out around 60C with 1 core hitting 64C (I assume its bad thermal paste distribution since this core always runs 5C hotter than the rest). I think I have a lot of room with temps, but if I up my multiplier anymore, I lose stability (CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD or random system hangs occurs during OCCT testing). Some reading seems to indicate I should up my voltage, but I was concerned about what the "average safe zone" voltage (and temps) were for the 5820K. Is there a user submitted listing (or averages) anywhere?
How do I up my voltage and test for safety without putting my cpu at risk?
If I am taking the wrong approach or you have any other suggestions on how I can up my power, I would appreciate it. I don't know much about OCing, but my temps feel ridiculously low under load (I'm used to running at 80C under 100% load). My PC specs are in my profile.
