Adjusting i7 5930k to 4.6Ghz
Hello everyone, I own an i7 5930k in an Asus Rampage V Extreme with 16gb (4x4) DDR4 Kingston Hyper x Predator 2133Mhz and a Cooler Master Nepton 240m. I recently increased my CPU to 4.5Ghz at 1.30v and my RAM to 2400Mhz. The system has remained stable for about five hours in Aida64, and on the Furmark CPU Burner, everything seems fine. My temperatures during these tests stayed between 60-70°C. I’m planning to try pushing it to 4.6Ghz and wonder whether it’s safe to increase the voltage slightly, what impact that might have on longevity, and how much performance gain I could expect.
It really comes down to the additional voltage needed for passing POST and the challenges you might face with heat during stress tests. Keeping it below 1.4v would give you some confidence.
