So I just OCed my 5820K to 4.3Ghz without touching the voltage at all. I ran it for the last 12 hours in my room with the AC off all day while I was at work and it was still running when I got home so that's gotta be good right?!!
So the temps were no higher than 75 Degrees at the hottest point and only on 2 cores. Everything else averaged 65-70 with a high of like.... 71?
So where do I go from here?
Should I leave it alone?
This is all under an h100i btw on the MSI x99s sli plus board.
I think you should stop there. 75 C is pretty high already and the 5 C gives you an ok buffer room for other parts to heat up and for dust to settle in. When I was OCing my G3258 said that I would not let the temps go above 70 C just to allow for a huge buffer space (it's a SFF rig, so there are a lot of factors to take into consideration). Might want to get a better cooler (or delid, if that is a thing for broadwell chips...) if you want to go higher.
Just my two cents. Nice OC though, and congrats on getting the chip, haha.
Haha well I've had the chip for a while but the OC was done last night/today.
And I'm actually going to do a full case upgrade and change the cooling around completely. It's hot here in California! I do most of my gaming and work at night though so it's a bit better.
you might get an extra .1 ghz without temps going up too much but your temps are getting fairly high for an overclock, remember you want to keep things very cool once you are approaching 4.5 and beyond.
The heat spreader on socket 2011-3 chips are soldered to the die, deliding it will destroy the CPU. Its a Haswell BTW.
