    Alright, looks like I've figured out the ATI issue... my previous card apparently left some registry entries that ATI didn't like, but ATI drivers are really bad compared to nvidia. But I managed to get it working and now I'm able to play my games at 4k rather well! So with my 5820k at 4.5ghz...

    What voltage are you running your CPU at?

    Not sure, might be a good idea to reseat... but I do not like prime95... I don't see how anything would ever run on my pc like that. Especially after running real bench for an hour and never went over 60c...

    Well, cinebench 11.5 shows a score of 14.89 and 147fps... not sure if that's good or bad. :) Still going strong with 4.5ghz... Been having A LOT of trouble with r295x2 right out of the box. Blue screens on almost every game or benchmark... I've taken my OC off and set to default, I even...

    Yeah it's using cinebench15 :) Wasn't aware there was a different version! I'll try that 11.5 one and see what happens... I tried 4.6ghz but I keep blue screening today... :/ I've tried the 1.3vcore but doesn't appear to help and I set my ram to default. Maybe there is a better core setting...

    Once again, thanks for all that info. I am now at 4.5 ghz 1.275vcore and 2600mhz memory, I ran prime95 for an hour and that passed with a lot of heat. Going to run realbench next... but I think I am good for now!

    What voltage are you running your CPU at?

    Just got my 5820k stable at 4.5ghz 1.275vcore, but that was running prime95. It does heat up to 80c on my h110 and I have to set it the fans on high... but it cools down from there Never goes over 80c and thats after an hour of running prime95... I am gonna try that realbench you guys were...

    Alright, prime 95 passing all tests for about 30minutes now. I ran cinebench and got a score of 1305... guess I will let prime95 run for a couple of hours to make sure. I can't seem to get linx to work on my pc... keeps not responding for some reason. Guess I will try aida64 next. :)...

    Okay, actually I was looking at the input voltage... I tried some of the tips here and now stress testing 4.5ghz at 1.275vcore and my memory overclocked from 2133 to 2600... Running prime95, I will let you know how it goes. :) it is really slamming my cpu and during some tests I have gone to...

    Thanks, I'm sure the 1.8v is way too high, I see most people at 1.2 or 1.3 so... unless I'm reading something wrong, not sure how it managed to bump it up to that on auto tune. I'll give this a go later tonight when I have more time. :)

    Official Haswell-E thread

    Alright, I want to get into this OC game, I'm using the Asus X99 Deluxe with the 5820k, I've only used the auto tuning but briefly played with the multipliers but haven't had any luck higher than 4.1ghz. Maybe I can get some tips for settings from people to see what pushes this properly? I'm...

    Hey guys, sorry for the long wait... been enjoying the system. I'm new to this so I am not in the know about these programs. I overclocked it in the BIOS with auto tuning, set it to high performance and it did everything for me. It's at 4.1ghz, 1.8vcore but that's auto settings. I'm sure...

    Haswell-E buyers: what are you upgrading from?

    i7-920 stock at launch on a p6t deluxe all the way to 9/6/14... Now 5820k at 4.1ghz huge difference!

    I'm getting 30c as well at 4.1ghz I attempted 4.2 ghz and it crashed several times... :/ I think 4.1 is as good as it gets. I ran Passmark but I'm not really sure how to make it work well. Here are the scores: Passmark Rating 5,117 CPU Mark 15,200 2D Graphics Mark 1,008 3D Graphics Mark...

    Thanks guys! Well, the system didn't stay stable after all at 4.4/4.5 ghz, so I did wind up testing all day and got down to 4.1ghz myself... :( My system is running at 20-40c so I know for sure the h110 is overkill! Will run some benchmarks soon.
