5930k oc to 4ghz with 1.125 vcore
andrei_shaq :
i use an asus x99-s mobo
what stress test should i try? i heard prime95 isn't great for x99. i'm not very familiar with overclocking and sometimes i might come across as silly, but i really need some guidance. i don't want more than 4ghz atm, because it's summer and the room temperature can rise to 32c on hot days. i just want to keep my pc cool.
i'm just looking for the best vcore for that frequency
😀
i'd prefer using either aida64 or occt. i like occt.
realbench is fine for a regular user doing web browsing, gaming, etc... if you plan to use your pc for more demanding tasks like content creation or database work, i'd recommend aida or occt. i suggest spending at least a couple of hours testing. i usually do two tests and consider it successful. some people say 4, 6 or more, but... it's not really necessary.
Also, my voltage stays at 1.125 consistently, and it shouldn't drop when the computer is in idle mode?

Also, my voltage stays at 1.125 consistently. Does it not decrease when the PC is in idle mode? It depends on the settings you set for voltage. Using "manual" should prevent this. Some X99 boards support "adaptive" which lets the voltage adjust during low load or idle conditions.
Also. My voltage is consistently 1.125 and it shouldn't drop when the pc is idle, right? It depends on the settings you set for voltage. If you choose "manual," it won't adjust. Some X99 boards let you use "adaptive," which would let the voltage change under low load or idle. My motherboard supports adaptive, but I’m not sure how to enable it. Should I look for a stable "manual" or "fixed" setting? Also, could keeping that voltage constant for long affect the cpu negatively?
Andrei Shaq also mentioned that his voltage remains steady at 1.125 consistently. Does it affect performance when the computer is idle? It really depends on the voltage settings you choose. Using "manual" mode prevents changes, while some boards support "adaptive" which lets the voltage adjust during low load or idle times. My motherboard supports adaptive, but I’m not sure how to enable it. I think I need to identify a stable "manual" or "fixed" voltage before using adaptive settings. Would maintaining 1.125 be safe for the CPU over time at that fixed level? No, it shouldn’t cause any issues. In fact, it’s quite low for Haswell E. I’ve used this configuration with my 6950X at version 4.4. The "Additional turbo mode CPU core voltage" setting defines the maximum voltage the CPU can handle. Adding LLC will slightly modify it, and tweaker's paradise offers further fine-tuning options.
