Hello, I’ve acquired a 4820K and after a band board I’m expecting an Asrock Extreme 4 by Friday. I’m preparing to bring the 4820K down to around 4.2 MHz, but I’m unsure if that’s safe since I haven’t worked with Intel CPUs or an Asrock board for this purpose. I’ll be using the quad channel memory setup.

Ensure you have the required voltage to handle 4.2Ghz on the 4820K while maintaining CPU and VRM temperatures. Consult an X79 overclocking guide.

I owned that board. It was faulty, losing memory slots without any CPU or RAM problems. These were the same issues I faced. Here’s a link for reference: https://www.google.com/search?q=Asrock+E...e&ie=UTF-8 Sorry for sharing this, just the facts.

My board model is the X79, not the Z77.

This time period of AsROck had generally low standards. I'm not claiming it's unreliable, just avoid overusing it.

But nothing specific would stop it from running at 4.2. I placed the chip on a board to verify it was functioning properly. At stock 3.7 it consumes just 1.16 volts, whereas you’d typically aim for lower voltages. On this platform I’ve only experimented with AMD chips.

Aye I only want it to run 1866mhz in quad chanel and the 4820k at 4.2ghz all core but I wasn't going to be pushing it to the max I'm well if it does what I'm needing it to I want this to last atleast a couple years and I am mating it with a gtx 1070 msi gaming x with a 638 overstock on the memory and 150 on the core for the card and I'm using a rm1000 psu so no issues will come up there but this is an upgrade from a And fx6300 clocked at 4.71 ghz on a 275 bus so hoping this should be a big jump

It's a significant improvement over FX, and it will work well. As Crunchy Dragon mentioned, "keep the VRMs and CPU cool" and you'll be fine at 4.2/4.4ghz.

1.4v is the top choice for everyday use, 1.45v is the usual sweet spot to hit. AMD and Intel don’t vary much in overclocking—core principles stay consistent across most setups.
