Hello everyone. After a brief break from using my PC, I replaced the CPU cooler and ran a stress test on AIDA64 with my 5930k stock for an hour. I’m using a Cryorig R1 Ultimate with three fans (similar to the Noctua NH-D15), possibly adding one more fan for better cooling. The temperatures were unusually low, which is unusual for me. Check it out:

Also, the room temperature was around 26°C. What are your thoughts on this CPU’s potential?

People don't choose a voltage for a frequency during overclocking. This decision depends on the performance of the silicon in each specific situation. The typical method involves increasing the chip's speed until it fails validation, after which you raise the voltage to stabilize it. If stabilization isn't possible at a certain speed, you've hit its limit.

Also, with a low clock speed and low voltage currently, check if overclocking is beneficial. Power consumption by your CPU may not increase linearly, and you might end up needing high voltage for minimal improvement, generating excessive waste heat. The chip could perform well at stock speeds, but until you actually clock it, you won't know its potential for overclocking...

Interesting. It's challenging to gauge overclocking possibilities based on idle temperatures.

I had never overclocked before. I'm unsure about the best way to begin, what voltage and frequency settings to use, essentially the initial point. I could try 4.5 ghz at 1.3v, but I prefer not to go too high right now, aiming instead for around 4.2 ghz.

The typical method involves increasing the chip's speed until it fails, then adjusting the voltage to stabilize it. If stabilization isn't possible at a certain speed, you've hit its limit.

Power consumption by your CPU may not increase linearly, and you might end up needing high voltage for minimal improvement, generating excessive heat.
