How to enable the CPU over voltage jumper switch Asus X99 Pro

[Melodrumatic1]

How do you enable the cpu over voltage jumper switch? i know it is disabled by default but i don't see a switch. Thanks

If it's like the deluxe, it should be a jumper(not a switch)under the PCH heatsink above USB front headers. You have to move it over to the other pins.

So move it to the two pins that are showing? and yes it just like the deluxe. thanks

Yep, that should do it. Out of curiosity, what kind of OC and voltage are you trying to do? It's rare unless using LN2 or something along those lines to need voltage options requiring moving the jumper?

Im a noob at over clocking and saw to reach 4.5 on my 5820K you have to up the voltage. Is that not true? Can I over clock most increases without the need of manually upping the voltage? And excuse my noobness but what is LN2? Also do I need to enable Ez XMP to load more O/C'ed default profiles?

Have you read over any of the OC guides on this site, or any 5820k reviews regarding OC? If your new to overclocking, it's a good idea to read over some of this before "jumping in" without knowing what your adjusting. Since your going to try for 4.5, you don't need to move the CPU voltage jumper in the first place. There are several ways to adjust the voltage, but it depends on quite a few factors. There are modes for Adaptive, Offset, and manual voltage. There are also CPU "straps" that get adjusting when using the XMP profiles. If you enable the XMP profile, it will adjust CPU multiplers and voltages automatically, but it should keep your CPU speed pretty much the same. For your question regarding OCing without manually upping the voltage, it depends on other settings whether this works. Are you planning on setting a manual voltage yourself or AUTO selection by the motherboard? Before attempting though, what are your PC specs, including PSU, RAM, and CPU cooling? Lastly, regarding LN2, it's Liquid Nitrogen.

My specs are as follows, a H110i GTX water AIO for the cpu (4 noctua fans in a push/pull config), 2 980ti Nviidia in SLI, two hybrid coolers for the graphic cards. Both with noctua fans. 4 Vengeance LPX DDR4 ram at 2666mhz. 3 Cooler Master Jetflo fans for the top case fans, and one more noctua fan for the exhaust. I'm having trouble trying to over clock at all with the ratio multiplier because every time I enter in a multiplier it just stays the same 3.3 speed. I will read the OC guides on the site. Thanks for all your help!

That's a heck of a system you got there Anyways, you should just need to look at the sync all cores option in the uefi. Rather then set the multiplier for each core, I keep all mine the same (44X multi) I'd leave cache(uncore) on auto for now until you get your CPU cores and RAM dialed in where you want. For CPU vcore, 1.3v seems to be the magic number that most stick to without exotic cooling. Are you planning a manual voltage, or adaptive? Also, are you using the XMP profile, because this changes what settings you should use for your multiplier based on strap. Some XMP profiles use the 125 strap, whereas others use 100. I keep my PCI-E frequency at the standard 100 mhz on the 100 strap, which is why I'm using 44X multi for 4.4 Ghz. There are other settings as well needed for OCing, which I can discuss further detail if needed.

Oddly enough, I'm pretty much in the same boat as OP. Please continue.

Also want to increase CPU current capabilty, set loadline calibration higher(I use 8, though I've seen folks using 5-7 as well. Try CPU input voltage at 1.9v. Cpu power phase to optimized or extreme, CPU spread spectrum off, and cpu active frequency mode off. Some of these may be set automatically when setting up XMP.
