Has anyone tried overclock service from AVAdirect?
They have 3 options:
Mild (10%-20%)
Extreme (20%+)
Advanced (Multiple Profiles)

I was thinking of choosing Mild, but then I was wondering if their overclocking service is any different than overclocking on my own. It costs $25 for mild.

By the way, my CPU is 4930k with Noctua D14 LGA 2011.

There is absolutely no difference between a "professional" overclock from anyone and yourself if you know what you're doing and know how to overclock. I will recommend overclock yourself if you have the spare time, and its fun. Just slowly raise the multiplier by 400MHz, then run Prime95 for 15-20 minutes. Repeat until it crashes. I will then recommend lowering the overclock to (current OC speed minus 200MHz) and testing it.

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

The service is not nothing special, just a normal person doing overclock and testing the settings for enough time to be sure that would be stable for the user. Personally I recommend you do the overclock by your self, you can learn a lot of things and maybe get much better results.

Just keep in mind the temps and test the rig for enough time, always try to test with the normal use that you give to the rig per day.
