I've never really overclocked before. But I just built a killer X99 gaming rig and I wan't to get all the performance I can out of it. So any useful guides or links to guides would be great along with any helpful tips you may have. Included link is to my post about my build including parts used and performance benchmarks all on stock settings for the moment.

So I recently built an X99 Machine with the following specs i7 6800K ASUS X99 ROG Strix Motherboard 64GB od DDR4 2400MHZ Dual Asus Strix GTX 1080's SLI'd with standard bridge Corsair 850 watt power supply Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB M.2 SSD boot Drive Raid 0 array of Dual 512GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD's Corsair H100i V2 AIO CPU liquid cooler Corsair C 70 Case ASUS DVD reader/writer Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
There's a couple of things I still wan't to do first is OC'ing my CPU to 4.0Ghz and was wondering how to go about that as I've only really dragged a slider bar before for oc'ing. I would also like to set up a ubuntu partition on my samsung 950 pro m.2 but I don't know if that particular distribution supports NVME and if it does how would I got about making said changes. As I would really like to be more familiar with that OS rather then just being able to open a terminal in it to grab wine to play league of legends and world of warcraft, So Much of my Steam Library is becoming Linux compatible it is GREAT! I hope to see continued and increased support for games on Linux! Yes I know my cabling sucks I'd change it id I did not already plan on replacing all of them at some point with custom wrapped paracord cables when I order a C70 plexi side panel with out the holes and maybe I will sprinkle in some more SSD's for another Raid 0 array and then swap out every single fan and the 2 fans on the Radiator for those amazing noctua fans that have the magnets on the end with an inner copper ring in the fan housing so as they spin around the magnetic resonance cancels out over 90% of the sound they make there pricey though but I've already gone this deep don't plan on stopping. I am addicted to high performing properly cooled silent computer's really help's in the immersive Movie and Game experiences yeah you were wodering what that DVD drive was for weren't you well mystery solved have quite the movie collection but I plan on getting a DROBO …
