Haha, let me check first how many GPUs I need to burn in order to learn. tongue.gif
if 212x not enough, what do you suggest?

i will aim more copper heat pipe, like silver stone archon ar03 2yrs back i think. it just sufficient for 5ghz stable sandy bridge after install two 120mm 200cfm server fan @4000rpm open air.

gpu buy the highest model u can afford. can choose other brand not gigabyte. i suggest msi
gtx1070 can handle full hd game well. 4k a bit difficult.

Just looking at 4.5ghz maybe. Isn't 5ghz a little ambitious? Especially for first-timer tongue.gif
Would a Cyrorig R1 Ultimate work?

gtx1080 is RM1k to RM1.5 more expensive (more than 50% increase) from gtx1070
not sure if its worth the performance boost? its a hefty extra sum for me.

well. the lucky one will found good grade cpu bin, easy oc. otherwise, heat and power will restrict you.

hyper 212 not enough.
i tell u the risk from my past oc.

cpu broken. zero
ram broken. at least 30-40 pcs
mobo broken. 6pcs
psu broken. 3pcs
graphic. 3pcs
heatsink. zero
fan. 2pcs

Wow. How do you actually OC your GPU until broken hmm.gif

And I found a little problem with zenho's wished rig, I don't think a 500W PSU is capable of doing OC for both i5 6600K and GTX1070, when GTX1070 may pull somewhere near half the power that psu can supply after overclocking core clock (increase power draw linearly), if also increasing the voltage (increase power draw exponentially). I would suggest a PSU with more than 600W though.

Just sharing to zenho, I did my first overclocking 2 weeks ago, my 6600K reached stable OC of 4.4GHz with around 1.4V (not maximum OC, for this I didn't go too far).

For GPU (mine's GTX1060), at least for Pascal, I don't think it's easy to damage a GPU while overclocking anymore. Mine would reset itself back to base clock if the OC is unstable, in some cases when I OC too much, like for instance +120MHz more than its maximum stable OC, PC went BSOD for minutes and the gpu would too perform the formal action.

For GPU voltage I did overvoltage as well, as most GPU OC software will allow you to increase voltage IN PERCENTAGE from the "base voltage" to its safe voltage which makes overvolting safe and sound in my opinion, such that normally it would use around 1.06V load, while increasing voltage to 100% it would make use of additional 43mV which is the max voltage (1.093V) for the card can "safely" handle (and I figured out sometimes my GPU will reduce its voltage to 1.081V while load too, even if I maximise the voltage). You may go past that voltage but its BIOS will not let you to do that unless you flash custom BIOS.

After all of these nothing breaks so far. Above are all my 2 cents worth.

do you think corsair H55 can provide enough cooling ? hmm.gif

Custom water cooling is the better option for overclocking.....CPU, RAM & GPU...
