I7 5930K overclock

[wolf1234]

Hello,
I will get soon the I7 5930K, Noctua NH D15, ASUS X99 DELUXE,
and also DDR4 RAM(Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4-21300) C15 memory kit for DDR4 Systems.

I want to know what is the MAX OC that I can get with all my components.
Thank you!

It depends on you luck in the silicon lottery as wells as how much voltage you run. Most 5930k's tend to end up between 4.4 and 4.6 ghz.

is there a guide how to do that?
Is this dangerous?
I have never tried this before.
Noctua NH-D15 is good for OC?

The D15 is a very good air cooler and will handle the cooling well.

Good news. We are towards the end of life for that CPU, which means this it is very well refined and updated, and the manufacturing process has been tweaked to the max. This increases the chances of getting a good chip and decreases the chances of getting a bad one. The 'average' has been raised a bit by eliminating the bad chips that drag things down.

If you are deliberate and careful, work slowly, educate yourself, and test everything, it is safe.

Because of the more mature chip, you can expect either slightly better speeds or slightly lower voltages than the 4.5Ghz at 1.32V (although I'd be happy with that)

What is the rest of the system and what are you using it for?
