3930k 3.2GHz Processor
I've heard others successfully overclock this processor to 4.5 GHz, though I'm not very familiar with the process. I increased the BIOS multiplier to 38 (3.8GHz) and it reached its limit without crashing too much. Can anyone advise on achieving a stable 4.3 GHz? Also, with your H100i water cooler at around 36°C and the processor running at 3.8GHz, you're all set!
The 3930k appears to reach around 4.5 to 4.8ghz. I managed 4.5ghz with 1.3v and 4.2ghz using stock voltage on a H100i, just increasing the multiplier. 4.5ghz required some adjustments to the SA/IO, ring voltage. I recommend trying the Auto overclock settings in the BIOS to potentially achieve higher speeds, as you can't exceed 3.8.

My average CPU temps at that setting are about 36°C, which seems normal.
