Overclocking 5820k
RealBench H.264 handles encoding across many threads and leverages AVX efficiently. My AiO rarely faces heavy stress, but during this test it gradually increased to 88°C even though I don’t typically see that in normal use. It remains a believable benchmark since it processes real video for extended periods. 4.5 at 1.3V functions? If not, I’d opt for 4.4 and lower the voltage step by step until it stops working. 4.4 still performs adequately. I’m puzzled about achieving 4.6GHz, initially failing at that speed before finally succeeding. Now it’s stable at 4.6GHz for months without any issues. Usually components wear out and you have to reduce overclocking, but here it seems to keep improving over time. Odd, but I’m not complaining.
On 4.5 I even got frozen in the BIOS. I had to switch back to 4.4 right away. Now I'm a bit anxious about lowering the voltage since I didn't expect it to freeze there. I also swapped out the H100i GTX for another model. You can notice the differences in temperatures clearly. There must be an issue with the pump.
