    Figured I would start a thread to see where other X99 users are at with their Haswell-E and Broadwell-E chips. I almost pulled the trigger on a 6800K on BF with the Microcenter Deal at $329, but figured it's really not worth it. I heard they don't overclock as well as 5820Ks.

    I was running 1.17v @4.2ghz on all cores fully stable for 2 years with an H55 AIO. Decided to upgrade to a H100i V2 today. Now overclocking a bit further. Currently running 4.4ghz @ 1.25v as a starting point and will shave down voltage from here. So far so good though. Hoping my good fortunes with low voltage scale well with increased clocks.

    My 5820k is stable at 1.3V 4.5GHz. I was happy with that so never pushed it (or tried to lower the voltage). Seems like I could pretty easily as temps are still maxing in like the mid 60s with my NH-D14.

    It's never bottlenecked yet at 4.1 though so I leave it at 1.2V 4.1GHz.

    From what I've seen the Broadwell chips are actually kinda worse at overclocking. Seems like my 5820k may straight up be better than a 6800k max OC vs max OC but I'm not sure.

    My 6950x runs stable at 4.5ghz at 1.28 and my 6850 run 4.4ghz at 1.3.

    Anyone hit 5.0GHz lol? That would be an achievement but I guess you need LN2 cooling for those speeds...

    5 is pretty rare for so many cores. It's happened, but you need water or LN2 cooling.

    Usually the voltage is stupid high.
