Trying to boost my 5820k's performance, I tried auto overclock but it pushed voltage too high. I managed to get it working at 4.2, but I want to fine-tune it so the first two cores run at 4.5 and the others at a lower setting around 4. This is because I play many games like Wow and notice lag in cities. I understand this is just a hardware issue, not anything else. I’m only thinking about overclocking before looking into a new CPU upgrade.

Hi litaidd,
If you're just starting out with overclocking, remember to proceed carefully. Rushing could damage your CPU or the entire system.
Follow these steps:
Let everything run on auto, then perform a stress test. Record your voltage and frequency, and manually adjust them in the BIOS.
You have two main options:
1°/ Improved performance: Increase the multiplier until it becomes unstable, then raise the voltage slightly (in steps of 0.025–0.05V). Once you hit your desired frequency, lower the voltage as much as possible while keeping stability.
2°/ Better thermal management: Maintain the original frequency and reduce the voltage as much as you can until stability is achieved.
Tip: Keep the voltage below...

2°/ Enhancing thermal management: Maintain the original frequency and reduce the voltage as much as you can until stability is achieved.
Tip: Keep temperatures under 85°C during testing and maintain voltage between 1.35-1.38V for regular use.

It's also useful to receive a solid recommendation, such as listing your full hardware setup including the CPU cooler and case, so we can determine whether the required temperatures are acceptable.

Full hardware details, cooling components, and other specifications are available. I can share the information if you confirm the data and understand the implications.
