5820k OC help

[k2xblazer]

Hi guys,

So I've got my 5820k at 4.5ghz at 1.23v and it it seems fine.

my ram set at 2400mhz but if it try to push it any further and enable one of the two XMP profiles 2800 and 3000, it will fail in Aida within seconds. Do I need to adjust voltages here? Ram is also at stock timings.

i7 5820k
Asus x99 deluxe
H110i
16gb quad channel corsair 2800mhz
2x r9 290
corsair hx1000

Since you're not exceeding the specs of the memory kit, the CPU's IMC (which officially is only rated to 2133) is likely to be what's holding you back. You might be able to go higher if you increase the system agent voltage. Start with around .95v and go up in small steps, not to exceed 1.25.
