Overclocking 5820k with a low budget fan cooler.

[japjeev]

So I'm building a PC and I realized I'm Getting this cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114134&cm_re=dynatron-_-35-114-134-_-Product with the motherboard I will be purchasing. Now I know it's not the best cooler out there, but my budget doesn't allow me to get a better cooler. So i am wondering will this cooler overclock my 5820k to atleast 3.8 Ghz without changing the V-core.

Thank You

Dude, the evo is on sale right now...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&cm_re=cooler_master_cpu_cooler-_-35-103-099-_-Product ($29.99)

What motherboard?

The Turbo Boost is already 3.6Ghz so, I'm sure you could get at least another .2 out of it.

I've got a 4670K at 4.0Ghz just using the on click overclock feature of my motherboard and a Coolermaster V8 cooler

Are you sure the cooler will work with the processor and motherboard? It is not a standard cooler.

Are you purchasing an ITX Asrock board by any chance?

This is the motherboard and fan is included. It's such a sweet deal thats why

This is the case I will be using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119299&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= I do hope the fan fits in the case.

Well, the specifications suggests that this cooler supports the sandy bridge 2011 platform, not Haswell-E. If you absolutely have to pair it with a cheap air cooler, I would suggest the Cooler master 212 EVO. My friend has this CPU and cooler combo, but it isn't good enough for any OC (in a fractal Define R5 case). But if you have case with good ventilation, you might be able to mildly OC the CPU. But I would personally hold off until you can afford proper cooling. In the meantime, the 212 EVO is a good purchase until you can afford something like the noctua NH-D14 or a Corsair h100i CLC.

Edit: I saw the previous post with about your mothboard, what case will you be using? Is there a reason why you are going with ITX?

As previous posters have said, you will have a hard time finding a cooler because of the ILM socket, so your OC capability is going to be limited.

That board does use non-standard mounting points, though I think SOME of the Cosair AIO's will work with the mounting plate that comes with that cooler. What case are you using?

In this case, your only options will be that included fan or an 120mm AIO liquid cooler. I wouldn't do any overclocking with that stock fan though, unless you want to kill your system.

Now I have a dilemma b/c I build either this machine or a Skylake machine, I don't know what will be better for my needs here is my thread for that http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2820017/haswell-5820k-skylake-6700k-stock-speeds.html
