Hey, been playing with my computer today, This is still new to me as I am a X58 Guy :) Anyway I started bumping up my overclock. I want to hit 5 gig on my chip just to well hit it  Anyway I am at 4.788.57 via gpuz @ 1.526V I did not touch the offset voltage , need to learn what it does LOL My ram is on XMP 1 profile @ 2666 I will take all the advice I can get and Im real happy with this OC so far My temps got up there , thought they would be a little cooler with that 480 Rad , Maybe my temps are good , not use to this new platform yet Hope you guys respond here as we need more life in this forum , Oh and btw My Valley score is under 6000 (O)(o)    Sorry she is to perty not to post ..

Sorry I cant help. But Im interested to see whats said. I'll be doing the same thing soon. I do think that voltage is really high, but I'm not in a posistion to outright say that.

I wouldn't go anything over 1.4 volts for 24/7 use unless its benching. I won't go over 80c on 24/7 use or 85c on benches for the most part. You're degrading the chip. That's up to you but just letting you know.
I'd also advise on grabbing the $25 Intel tuning protection plan. All it does is basically give you a one time replacement CPU if you ever fry your chip from overclocking. The regular warranty doesn't cover that but this does. Its nice of intel to do that. From what I've read, they replace it no questions asked as long as its fried from OCing.
I am also coming from X58 platform as I held back twice the last couple generations on upgrading as I felt the performance increase wasn't as warranted as it is now. The i7 950 is still trucking along on a 3 screen setup with no issues. I believe and correct me if I am wrong, for example the i7 5930k compared to a i7 950 is 100% performance improvement, no? Nonetheless, I got a x99 classy and 5930k sitting in the other room waiting to be put together. Till than they'll have to wait till the other goodies come in before I tear down my main 80lbs rig. (gasp)

Thanks Guys.
I just dropped my oc back to stock for now.
wish someone would chime in on how to use the voltages in it, I'm kinda lost in there still.
Vlada, I like the board , Nice bios features just need help learning them as Im sure there is more ways to tweak the oc.
Over on another forum im sure we all know its all asus and tons of info, guess a lot of people bailed on evga .
GTX thanks for the info for the chip. And you will love the board .
Hope you post your findings with oc that set up. wondering on your voltage you will end up with

I feel like my 5930k chip is really similar in overclocking performance to yours. I have mine running at 4.5ghz with the voltage at 1.337. Idle the temp sits around 34℃ and when I game it stays in the 41-50℃ range (never have seen anything higher). However, to get mine to go anything passed 4.5ghz I really had to up the voltage to get it stable which I wasn't comfortable with. Like someone said earlier, anything passed 1.4 volts is getting pretty risky. If you are the kind of person who runs their comp 24/7 then I'd dial It back a bit. P.S with my 5930k @ 4.5ghz and my GTX Titans x 2, I received a score in valley around the 5800 mark. So having a slightly higher overclock than mine with really high voltages isn't warenting THAT much more performance. (Only stated this because I saw you were running 2 GTX 980s which are faster than my 2 Titans) Overall I think if you'd dial back the voltages a bit and settle for a 4.5-4.6 OC, you'll have a long lasting chip with a great OC.

Wow. You got a nice chip there. Can I ask you guys, what was needed to get the chip up to the 4.4-4.6 range. Meaning do you just add multiplier and leave voltage and everything else on auto? Also, if you set the XMP to the default of the ram's specs, doesn't an increase of CPU's multiplier or block push the ram out of its spec? I am even hearing folks going beyond the rams default spec with no issue as well. Sorry for the noob questions as I've barely tried OCing in my time. Especially with the complicated X58 setup and the likes before it in fear I would burn out things with the knowing that I wouldn't have the funds to replace things if I did fry anything. This will be my first time really pushing anything and the system will be on almost 24/7. I Fold alot as well on CPU and GPU all while being liquid cooled.

I got mine up to 4.4 ghz with no issue. I could probably run it higher but i don't see any gains at all from anything except RTS games.

At first I just set the multiplier little by little and eventually noticed that even when leaving voltage to auto, it will increase your voltages to what it thinks a stable voltage will be (at first I thought auto would just leave it at stock voltage but this is not the case). Through trial and error I eventually came to the conclusion that my cpu will run stable @ 4.5ghz with 1.335-1.337v. So once I figured that out, I turned auto off, (auto seems to fluctuate depending on what you're doing. Could also be vdroop but I'm not sure) set it to override, and then manually entered 1.337v. Everything else is set to auto.

Did you try and lessen the voltage till you got unstable to get the best OC?

Yes I did. Lowest where it wouldn't crash under stress test was 1.337 volts so that's what I set it to. While gaming or anything else for that matter, I've never had a single BSOD or random restart. I feel bad for the people who keep running into problems with this motherboard. I've never had one single problem since I got it on launch. In my book this mobo is just as good of quality as any of their gpu's.

So all you mess with is the multiplier till you get it steady with everything on auto. Once you find the "sweet spot" for the CPU, you than go to manual voltages and mess with that till you find it's "sweet spot" as well. Is this correct?

yes but with the new bios 1.09 they increased the voltages for auto so you might notice that temps will get hotter, quicker. For example, on auto in bios 1.07 it set my voltage to around 1.340 and with the new bios 1.09 it set my voltage to around 1.390 or something like that. In turn, my temperatures rose and I did not want that. Luckily I knew that my processor was stable at 1.337 so I just set it back to that. So if you are now going to attempt to overclock in bios 1.09 then expect the auto voltages to be a little high. My advice would be to still use auto and then set the multiplier up little by little. Start at 37 because that's what the turbo boost frequency is. If that passes under a stress test maybe go to 38 or 39 (just move slowly) if that passes then keep going until it crashes under a stress test. Make sure to also keep an eye on temps. You don't want to get the temps too high. I have a custom water cooled loop which is why I was ok raising my voltages a bit. Also, auto seems to be pretty accurate so when setting to manual after you find what works on auto, you might only be able to decrease the voltage a very little amount before it becomes unstable again.

Im at 1.229V @ 4.5 cpu shows 4489.29 Im still dialing back the voltage LOL so im sure I can get it lower my idle temps are 26C C to 29C Gaming is 30's to 41 peak on 1 core My bios is messd up I think as when I set the voltage to override , it shows adaptive, I crashed in bios and re flashed it all 3 settings are the same and I never used the other 2 also I would get and error 124 and well on my x58 I would turn up the VTT volts with this X99 I don't know what to do ?? Im learning this bios but as a X99 Guy Im sure You know where im coming from, still love my x99 rig but this thing looks bad ass..  Can some one post a screenie of the bios with over ride and the voltage set on over ride.. We need more people posting and asking questions what is driving me nuts is the blue screen and having to reset bios, that's stinks. Im going to play a little more and see what my numbers are I may bump the bclk a notch and or try 4.6 gig and see how she looks but im likeing what Im seeing at this OC atm
