Is my 5820k Overclock Stable
Is my 5820k Overclock Stable
It's cozier than a daily clock would be. Think about it—do you really need 4.3ghz to keep it running? Are you working with video, folding, or handling massive data? Or could 4.1 or 4.2ghz do the trick at lower voltage and cooler temps? Especially if you didn't get a high-end cooler for your "enthusiast level" CPU.
Those clocks and voltages seem likely to stay stable... probably. That's the expected behavior at those clock speeds. You might even manage to lower the voltage slightly. However, the best confirmation comes from running AIDA64 or OCCT for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably 6 to 8. If it works, stability will be guaranteed.
These temperatures are higher than I'd prefer for my system, by the way... I wouldn't expose a processor to that daily.
A little note: Intel e-series chips don't use TIM. They rely on solder, which is still considered a thermal interface.

What he does is pass around horrible information that his "followers" take as gospel, because it comes from the magic boob box. It's like watching Faux News or CNN and believing everything you see, because a "news reporter" said it. Ish.... Nobody does research any more...they're not interested in learning, they're just interested in having some nobody give them information that fits into their preconceived notions of the way things are supposed to be.
lol
Incredibly true statement. Everywhere I look, people are getting more and more information but from what sources? I was most recently thinking how detached assistants like siri and cortana are. Sure they can tell you something but you won't know where it came from. There's a point where convenience has gotten in the way of itself.
Thor220 shared a thought on how people spread misleading information, claiming it comes from trusted sources like the "magic boob box." They compared it to consuming news from Faux News or CNN without questioning the source, simply because a "news reporter" said so. It reminded them of how little research is done anymore—people are more interested in getting information that matches their existing beliefs than in understanding its origin.
They also mentioned being surprised by the amount of information available today, especially with voice assistants like Siri and Cortana. While these tools can provide answers, users often don’t know where the information came from. They noted that convenience has sometimes overshadowed accuracy, leading to a cycle where people reinforce their preconceived ideas.
The person highlighted how predictive indexing works, even in simple searches like Google, shaping results based on perceived interests. Realizing this can help users break free from it, but most remain unaware of the system’s influence. It’s meant to be helpful, yet often backfires by reinforcing confirmation bias.
Those clocks and voltages seem likely to stay stable... probably. That's accurate regarding their expected values at those points. You might even manage a slightly lower voltage there. However, the best confirmation comes from running AIDA64 or OCCT for a minimum of four hours, preferably six to eight. If it succeeds, stability will be guaranteed.
These temperatures exceed what I'd prefer for my system, by the way... I wouldn't expose a processor daily to that heat.
A small note: Intel e-series chips don't use TIM anymore—they rely on solder. They don't require delicate handling and offer better thermal performance.
Solder remains technically a TIM.
Well when someone asks if I need a 4.3GHz OC, I think not. Games don’t appear to gain from it. I changed to 4GHz Auto-OC via BIOS and reset the voltage settings back to defaults. The 4GHz OC was included with the BIOS. I’ll run some tests just to be sure. Voltage seems to be back at 1.18v for Vcore, which is incredibly efficient for thermal management so the 80C issues should disappear even during a 4-hour AIDA64 test.
CmdrJeffSinclair explains his approach, noting games don't seem to gain much from a 4.3GHz OC. He switched to 4GHz Auto-OC via BIOS, reset voltage settings, and confirmed the voltage is now at 1.18v for Vcore. This should improve thermal efficiency and keep the CPU cooler, especially during long tests.

When someone asks if I need a 4.3GHz OC, I think not really. Games don’t seem to gain much from it. I changed to 4GHz Auto-OC via the BIOS and reset the voltage settings back to defaults. The 4GHz OC was included with the BIOS. I’m planning some tests just to be sure. I believe the voltage should be back at 1.18v for Vcore, which is a huge improvement for thermal performance so the 80C issues should disappear even during an 8-hour AIDA64 run.
That’s it. Good job. This should improve your thermal management and keep your CPU much cooler.
I might be adjusting the voltage more aggressively at 4.3GHz, but based on what I’ve seen before, lowering it a bit could help even more. Is that accurate?
CmdrJeffSinclair responds to the suggestion about needing a 4.3GHz OC, stating it likely isn't necessary since games don't seem to benefit from it. He switched to 4GHz Auto-OC via BIOS and reset voltage settings to defaults. He plans to run tests to confirm efficiency. The voltage is expected to return to 1.18v for Vcore, which he believes improves thermal performance significantly. He notes that at 4GHz with the lower voltage, temperatures drop noticeably during AIDA64 tests. He considers lowering the voltage further at 4.3GHz to achieve even cooler temps, though he acknowledges this might reduce clock speed. He also mentions that processor clock stability has a bigger impact on temperatures in his experience.

Just think about google searches for a second..... Predictive indexing. Even doing a google search from your home pc will give you returns on your searches that their predictive indexing thinks you want to see. Once you realize you've been duped by your own ignorance of the system intended to keep you that way, you can work around it. Most people don't even think about it..... It's supposed to be for your convenience, but it ends up working against you by strengthening your confirmation bias.
You and me are on the same page here. Compared to the last generation of people, young kids are growing up knowing less about what they use every day. Think about it, how many kids have any idea how their tablets work? The internet? Google search? They don't care how it works, most of them just want their instant satisfaction. This is a double wammy for society.
