Need Advice on Overclocking 5820k

As a newb to overclocking, this is the question I'm struggling with. I'm finding that I can run stable at much higher clocks for my regular pc use, but if I stress test my pc in Prime95 the temps get very high. Is it better to run at the highest speed possible as long as your pc doesn't crash...

Need Advice on Overclocking 5820k

So given that, how should I change it? Should I just reduce the ratio and if so to what? Do I need to change the voltage or anything else?

Need Advice on Overclocking 5820k

I'm fairly new to overclocking and could use some advice. Just built my 5820k rig with an Asus X99-A board. I used the 5-Way Optimization feature to overclock my cpu, which landed at 4.609. I've tried a couple of games and everything has been solid. Ran 3D Mark and my pc crashed due to cpu...

Another Haswell build

If you like quieter, the Asus Strix is a good choice.

Thoughts on my gaming pc build?

NH-U12S it is. It should fit nicely in my case, easy to install, provide decent cooling, and not be overly loud. Thanks again for your help.

Thoughts on my gaming pc build?

I'm confused. I just measured the height clearance on my Lian Li PC-777a (20th anniversary edition) case and I have maybe 170mm to work with. I've always thought it was a spacious case. I'm probably missing something obvious, but how are people fitting 240-280mm height coolers into their rigs?

Thoughts on my gaming pc build?

Thanks all, I have updated my motherboard to the Asus X99-A. I will keep an eye on RAM costs and decide whether to go for faster RAM when I pull the trigger. I'm in a holding pattern right now because I want to get everything at the same time, and the ROG Swift monitor still is out of stock...

New Logitech G710

I've heard it's planned for November. Wish it was as sooner, I may need to get a Corsair rgb instead.

Thanks mistersprinkles, what speed would you recommend for the RAM? The Asus X99-A looks like it has better sound implementation, what don't you like about the SLI Plus? Also what cooler do you recommend for mild-moderate OC?

Thoughts on my gaming pc build?

Seba, good point on the retail version of 8.1. I wish 9.0 was out already, but don't want to wait for it. Thanks Mfenn as always. Every time I do a new build you're there to set me straight lol. I updated my build to include the XFX Core 850W. Will this power supply be future proof or am I...

MSI X99S SLI Plus

I'm trying to choose my X99 motherboard and struggling with some of the same questions. I would love to save $200 with the SLI Plus, but have 3 concerns: 1) Several reviews criticize the ALC1150 sound implementation, compared to other available X99 boards 2) Not as much space between video...

Should I upgrade yet?

Ok, I just downloaded extreme tuning utility and manually set the CPU ratio to x40. It got up to 68 with no load but is back to 60. Thanks for all of your help!
