I kept it at AUTO

Did you make any head room MedievalNerd?

Hey MedievalNerd - I was able to push the Cache to 4.375Ghz without changing voltage. So 4.625Ghz cpu, 4.375Ghz cache, with XMP default 3000mhz RAM - with 1.3V Vcore (1.312 according to AIDA64). I think that I am going to leave this alone for now... the temps are ok (2 hours on fallout 4 with MAX cpu temp just cresting 60c). 89c max with AIDA64 stress test - but only 1 core out of 6 hit this high - mostly hovering in the upper 60's to lower 70's.

Hey guys - followed a little vid on basic OC and got to 4.625GHz on water cooling with an Intel 5820k on an ASUS x99-Pro mobo. I was able to hit 4.7ghz stable with nothing done to the RAM.. but once I switched to the XMP profile, and BCLK jumped to 125Mhz, I was only able to get a 4.625Ghz stable clock. I tried the 38 multiplier to get 4.75Ghz but just couldn't get it to stay stable with the AIDA64 stability test. Settings: XMP Profile for RAM @ 3000mhz BCLK @ 125 (autoed to this after xmp setting) Multi @ 37 = 125 x 37 = 4.625Ghz CPU Voltage = 1.3 Ram Voltage = 1.35 Everything else AUTO in the AI Tweaker. I TRIED to boost voltage to both the RAM and the CPU with 38 multi (4.75ghz) - and it just kept failing. Temps looked oooook at this ghz (78-85 max on cores). I saw some vid showing the system agent voltage being adjusted (this vid was for the x99-deluxe, not pro) - and it was adjusted to 1.02V - my board shows system agent, and it is at 1.17 on AUTO.... so don't know if I should touch it! However, any tips to push the ghz (and be stable) are welcome - or even advice saying 4.625 is just fine! I am not disappointed with a 40% overclock, but if I can push it and stay stable, why not?!
