Question i7 5820k - OC'ed @ 4.4ghz? Any further?

[Martin Lomax]

Im running my 5820k, Im currently at 4.4ghz using ASUS auto overclocking software, this is what it is listing me at, Im just curious if anyone can help someone who has no idea what they are doing oc'ing to pull a bit more juice from this beautiful CPU?

I can't find any way to enlarge that picture, so I can't see specifics.

Software, for the most part, is running the chip against an algorithm of what similar chips have achieved - nothing specifically tailored to your own.

Manually overclocking (in the BIOS) would be highly recommended - not only could you probably achieve higher, at a minimum you should achieve the same 4.4GHz software achieved, at a lower voltage.

As for specifics for X99.... I'd have to do some digging.
At a very high level, some of the this video should cover it... although there will be more specific, relevant resources out there.

For a 5820K, 4.4GHz is probably just about the sweet spot..... and should be achievable with 1.25-1.3V.
Some people have pushed 4.7, 4.8 etc on those chips, but not sure what kind of voltages.... I would assume >1.35V.
