Honestly 1.21v doesn't seem terribly low for a 5820K, though I suppose when you consider it's at 4.3GHz, that's pretty good. When I recently restarted my computer the OC I had on it (a simple 4GHz @some voltage) failed so I was like eh whatever. So far I've not really noticed the difference to be quite honest... lol
Adding you! Congrats!
Thanks Deltrus. Yeah, I decided to start the chip at 1.2v and 4.2 and it passed so I kept it and decided to bump it 1 multiplier.
I'm running my stress test now; I've been inspired by the boards to go past 4.8
ffs ... was over 3 hours steady temps, spending time with wife and windows update restarted the computer when I came back ... so another time

I was running a stress test last night and my computer went to sleep, causing it to crash. Running Aida64 right now, seems to be holding steady at 4.515 Ghz (43 x 105), 1.277v, 67 Celsius. Will see if it maintains for longer.

Yeah... make sure your power settings are a custom high setting, obviously the computer shouldn't be going to sleep, especially if stress-testing. O_o
@zeropeorth, you're really pushing into unsafe voltage territory for your chip, FYI. And yeah, why don't you have Windows Update set to check with you when it's okay to restart? O_o
because I usually do it manually and the rare times I've seen the 'will restart in x' I put it off to a bit later and forget >_>
I left the auto-voltage up from the mobo; at 4.8 it didn't go that high and if you check my validation in my sig, it wasn't ... my fault for trusting the software that was working before -_- I will go back in and set it.
The real advantage I have right now is having another pc with a 2500k that barely gets used, so if I did fry the cpu, I'm not out of a PC; not that I want to!!!
Ty for the response btw. I was just so focused on watching the temps and happy it pretty much stayed between 68-72C with my cheap (212+) cooler. I've not pushed it that far before, but before I buy new equipment in a year or two; figure this is the best time to get it right. I feel I got lucky with two really strong 2500k; they both like to run at 4.8, and I never really give them 100% load as it is. The games I play are WoW, FFXIV, Tera, GW2, Heroes, LoL, and some smaller steam games like Don't Starve.
I'll adjust down and mess with it more later this week when I'm not so busy with other stuff

Yeah I suggest trying to get the minimum voltage you need, 1.5v+ is just really pushing your luck and is in Intel max-recommended territory as I recall.
I just changed it so the computer never goes to sleep :P
So it's still running but all is stable after just over 2 hours.

The ambient temperature gets a little high in my room, but I plan on adding another radiator to the loop at some point to make sure it's as close to the ambient I can get and turning up the AC.
I wouldn't say you should waste more on AC just to get your computer temps down... what I would say is figure out why you have a 20 Celsius discrepancy in your core temperatures... 10 Celsius max is pretty normal, but 20? I have a feeling you don't have a great connection between the CPU and the heatsink, and/or problems with thermal paste.
Still, you have done what was asked of you and shall be put on the leaderboards for all eternity!
@Rennadrel, idk if you posted that as your way to get on the leaderboard... but that's not as per the very easy simple instructions. What shaw0050 did, was correct.
Okay, here's the problem I have with your post.
You did not make any suggestions on how to make it less easy to cheat, thus a not very helpful post.
Also, the sizes of your pictures break computer forum policy.
Also, I don't think anyone really thinks this thread is legitimately serious... it's a matter of being honest to yourself. Of making sure that your overclock is actually stable. This leaderboard earns you basically nothing. You don't get money, I don't get money. I simply keep it up to date because it's a courtesy that I like to do, it helps people see where they stand. If people choose to lie then shame on them, but what am I to do? Honestly, they're doing a disservice to themselves, because not going through with a full test (which is still short) means they won't actually know if their computer is stable or not... which could mean loss of data if it crashes because of a poorly tested overclock.
So... have fun showing that this can be cheated... you're not really helping anyone, though.

Oh boy, as soon as I get my new workspace all finished and moved in I'm going to try and push my 4690k a wee bit more to see what it can do after some fine tuning.
Probably stable at lower voltages, it crashed at 1.200V overnight but I think it was because the computer tried to go to sleep mid-test. I'll try again later and re-upload. Also testing 4600MHz, but I'm getting atrocious temps even de-lidded and with fresh paste applied (still better than before de-lid though!)Code:Name: Nellah Processor: i5-4670K Clock: 4400MHz Voltage: 1.226V Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (pull only, tall RAM on ITX board) Screenshot LINK: https://imgur.com/gallery/puJzsxW/new Valid CPU-Z link: http://valid.canardpc.com/cn7y2a
Super casual.
hmm i don't get how you got so low voltage (1.22) and hitting so high temps (91max?). What cpu cooler you got? At 4.4 i got 1.305v and i dont even pass 70-75deg during stress. You either got a shitty cooler or there is, sorry to say, someting fishy..
Didn't see a line for these guys. Needs tweaking, or I just got a crap chip, because 1.333V for this!Code:Name: Nellah Processor: Pentium G3258 Clock: 4400MHz Voltage: 1.333V Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (push) Screenshot LINK:http://imgur.com/gallery/VgdVyqn/new Valid CPU-Z link: http://valid.canardpc.com/7ik1sl

As mentioned, it's a 212 EVO in pull only config. It's also in a Bitfenix Prodigy case with a giant GPU blocking most of the vents and very limited intake. Couldn't do a rear exhaust because of the location of the fan on the 212 EVO. It's an oven in there.
Pre-delid it would throttle at 4.1GHz, 1.15V. After the first de-lid I got it stable at 4.2GHz, now with the second (better) application of paste I'm getting these temps, which are a lot better than what I had, sadly.
