i7 5820k OC 4.0GHZ operates efficiently even at high idle temperatures.
i7 5820k OC 4.0GHZ operates efficiently even at high idle temperatures.
According to the description, the temperatures seem excessively high for idle conditions. The readings show 40°C during idle and about 60°C under full load, using a Notcua NH-D14 with the system set to auto mode and a multiplier of 40 at 100MHz bus frequency.
I operate at a max of 1.296 with Vrm at 1.920. This is for running at 4.5ghz. If you aim for 4ghz, you might need to adjust to something nearer to 1.2. But you should give it a try.
If you attempt at 1.2 and the system runs smoothly, proceed with a stress test. If it fails, reduce by 0.1 until it stops, then increase by 0.1. If 1.2 doesn't work, do the opposite.
Don't rely on auto-voltage. It tends to apply excessively high voltage to ensure stability. You must determine the optimal, lowest stable voltage yourself.

If you attempt 1.2 and the system runs, proceed with a stress test. If it fails, reduce by 0.1 and continue testing. Conversely, if 1.2 doesn't work, increase by 0.1 until it fails.
