I have achieved a nice little overclock on the AMD 3.8/4.2 quad 5800k at 4.8ghz. The motherboard is an MSI FM2 A85XA-G65. I got this on the stock heatsink fan.
The settings are 102x44 and volts at 1.5.
I did not run run it long. Temp seemed to stay a 61c. I believe this temp is ok by AMD standards. Better cooling might get me more!
This is the highest I have gotten. And it booted into Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon just fine.
Sorry about lack of detail. I got excited and had to post.
 
Temperature shouldn't be an issue unless you increase the voltage, in which case you'd need increased cooling.
 
Very nice! What have you tried to benchmark?
I'm curious how it affect performance in real-world scenarios?
 
I did a little research about some linux benchmark software. Ubuntu has some that may do it. So, perhaps Mint does too.
Also, I have been craving a water cooler.
 
I was thinking more of HD video, streaming, gaming, compiling, rendering, etc.
Do you notice a major difference in those day-to-day processes?
 
Oh man, don't make the headlines with "Man fried by water cooling in computer"
;)
 
Agreed, I know its not as bad as it sounds, but I tend to want my computers lasting 10+ years.
The worst that can happen on my machines is a fan dies or a hard drive fails.
In the future when I have all SSD drives, the only thing that can fail is a fan.
Safe-n-secure
 
I got good equipment. Not top of the line. Still, the Processor, ram, video card is capable of more. I think water cooling has a better chance than air of keeping temps in line. I hope to crank her up and still be safe and secure.
I might have got out cheaper by buying a more powerful components. But for me, this is fun. That and games.
 
Today I installed my Corsair Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance water cooler. Took awhile as the mounting hardware was a bit of a fuss. I was disappointed at first, because the machine would not power up. Almost as if the power supply was dead. Strange as only one case fan would power up sort of. I reseated and jiggled a few things and it fired up.
At stock settings it seemed maybe 3 to 5c higher. But .... I over clocked to 4.53 (103 x 44) (voltage 1.5). and I am running at 20c cooler than I was on air at 4.48. Yippee!

Not bad!
 
The stats are off it seems on the Inex/CPU stats but the 4.7ghz is about right. The voltage should be 1.5125 and the multiplier should be 45. Sometimes Inex shows the wrong clock speed. Or maybe I am doing or reading this wrong.
 
Awesome! Glad you were able to overclock a higher and still keep the temps down.
Success!
:cool:
