Here is a quick overclocking guide for the EVGA X99 motherboards! Overclocking these boards are similar to Z97, so if you are familiar there, you should be familiar here  Regardless, here is a really quick/easy guide for basic overclocking on EVGA X99.
 
Hardware used:
EVGA X99 Classified
Intel 5820K CPU
DDR4 2133MHz
 
1. Press delete to enter the system BIOS when system boots.

 
2. Main screen will be the Overclock section, scroll down to the CPU Multiplier Control section you can use the mouse or keyboard to navigate here. Change CPU Multiplier Control to Manual.

 
3. Set a CPU Multiplier setting, for this demo we used 42. Remember that BCLOCK x Multiplier = CPU clock, so this means we are running 4200MHz.

 
4. When overclocking your CPU, you may need a higher voltage to achieve stability. To do this navigate to the CPU Voltage Mode section and change the Voltage Mode from Auto to Override or Adaptive. The differences are as follows:
     a. Override mode will force the CPU voltage to run at set voltage during all scenarios, even when system is idle. This will keep the voltage locked but may run the system at a higher temperature during idle.
     b. Adaptive mode will set a voltage OFFSET from the current running voltage. Example: If CPU voltage is 1.050V, setting +50mV will run CPU at 1.100v

 
5. Head to the Memory section to set your memory frequency, you can enable XMP if your memory supports it, this will automatically enable the correct frequency and timings

 
6. Save and Exit the BIOS and Boot into Windows to stress test your overclock. Don’t forget to watch your CPU Temperatures! Hint: If you want the CPU clocks to stay at full performance mode without dropping while in Windows, change your Windows Power Options to “High Performance” mode:

 
And with that this is the basics of overclocking on EVGA X99! Of course things can get a lot more advanced if you are doing more aggressive overclocking, where additional voltages to various controllers or better cooling may be needed!

Thanks Jacob, I will use this Info as soon as my MB Arrives!
 
 

Will you guys  Send the MB to EU soon,  Like  Norway dosent have them Neither sweden or denmark
 
Cause I will gladly order a MB from my contry  Norway

yes  I want EVGA EU shop not  notify bouton  ?

I wantet the MB to come since first relase of x79, But no no, Evga dont want to make Money,     Now i have the dark, whit 4way sli 780 TI classifieds all water,   now waiting for x99 classy to hit norway i hope

You guys should post questions in the x99 forum and not on the overclocking guide, as it has nothing to do with the topic. Hopefully they will get it to you guys also, but try to keep the subject of the topic appropriate.

I would love to get info on how to overclock Intel 5960X if possible.

If someone want can check these video clips...
 
-I would like if some of moderator edit my post than people can see video frame not link only... and delete this advice. :)

So if you enable XMP it won't force the bclk speed to 125?

Jacob,
 
I picked up the x99 FTW with a 5930k cooled with a Corsair H110.
 
I am hoping to be able to get a stable OC  (24/7) of around 4.5Ghz.
 
I plan to use adaptive setting so when the CPU is idle it doesn't use the extra power (I think I understand this correctly).
 
I am not new to overclocking but I haven't messed around with a newer system for this purpose.  I see there are many new (to me) voltage options to aid with a stable OC.
 
I was wondering if you could give me a starting point and/or a maximum voltage for each setting I may need to overvolt to achieve a reasonable OC for 24/7 use.
 
Thanks
