jwl24 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hey guys, I just recently completed my high performance gaming PC and am now looking into overclocking and getting everything stable, etc.. and I need help. I have never done this before, so I'm a complete noob at it, and I got several questions, and am looking for the best advice I can possibly get from any and everyone. After some good research I've seen that these chips (3930k) can acquire some pretty high and stable overclocks (4.6-5.0ghz) and I'm wanting to do this myself, if I can figure out how. I'm not quite sure of everything, or if I'm doing it right, but at this moment, I have came across this current video: I have copied his bios by manually entering everything I could tell that I had different, and I'm wanting to know what I could do, or if I did everything right and should leave it as is.. My specs are as follows: CPU: 3930k GPU: 2-WAY SLI Titans MB: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme RAM: 32 GB 1600 CAS 7 Gskill Memory Right now from copying his bios I have it running at 4.7ghz, at 1.392 Core Voltage. I ran intel burn master on the highest setting and it said that I passed. I also ran prime 95, and it passed. My current temps are around 40-45 stock, and was ranging anywhere from 70-78 on full load when running these temps. I'm not sure if these are safe, if I should keep what I got, or approach another route.. being that I'm completely new at this I could use all the advice I can get. For cooling I'm using custom water cooling, 2 separate loops. The loop cooling the CPU/MB is a modded h80i radiator with push/pull fans. For the gpus I got a 240 radiator. I haven't overclocked the titans yet, but I want to as soon as I finish and find out what I should do with my current CPU situation. I have some pretty crappy 1500 RPM fans I'm using on the radiators, but I just ordered some of the corsair high edition 2350 rpm fans, and will be using those as soon as I get them. Look forward to some advice/help. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 My current temps are around 40-45 stock, and was ranging anywhere from 70-78 on full load when running these temps. If those are your temps at 4.7ghz then it's not bad for load temps. But if your idle temps are i the 40's, thats a bit high. but if your wanting to get into overclocking then i would suggest looking for overclocking guides for your MB and or CPU. This way you can learn what the setting do and how they effect other parts of your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
