5820K Overclock settings look right?

Hello hope yous can all help me out a bit. iv spent most of the day overclocking my 5820-k to 4.6Ghz. Just want to know if my settings look ok for 4.6ghz for 24/7 use. plus i want to know what settings i need to make, so that the CPU VCore will drop back down to 0.0000 Vcore when the pc is not doing anything from 1.2650

Bios - 1902 (stock)
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64bit
MoBo - Rampage V Extreme 3.1vr
CPU - I7 5820-k
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 4x8GB - 32GB - 2133MHZ -CMK32GX4M4A2133C13
PSU - 1000W Corsair HX1000i High Performance 80+ Platinum Digital Power Supply
GPU - MSI R9-290 Gaming - OC 1100/1375


Bios Setting so far......

AI Overclock Tuner. = Manual.

CPU Strap.= 100MHZ.

Source Clock Tuner. = Auto.

PLL Selection. = Auto.

Filter PLL. = Auto.

BCLK Frequency. = 100.0.

Initial BCLK Frequency. = Auto.

ASUS MultiCore Enhancement. = Auto. (what is this best set to?)

CPU Core Ratio. = Sync all Cores.

Cpu Ratio Limit. = Cores 1 to 6 = 46.

Min. CPU Cashe Ratio. = Auto. (will this be better set to 46?)

Max. CPU Cashe Ratio. =
46.

Internal PPL Overvoltage. = Auto.

BCLK Frequency : DRAM Frequency Ratio. = Auto.

DRAM Frequency. = DDR4-2133MHz

Xtreme Tweaking. = Enabled.

CPU Level Up. = Auto. ( How dose this work and whats it best set to? )

EPU Power Saving Mode. = Disabled.


DRAM TIMING CONTROL (keep this short)

Rampage Tweak - Mode 1 ( whats the best mode to use? )

im using 13,15,15,28,T2


everything els is left on Auto.



EXTREME TWEAKER\EXTERNAL DIGI+ POWER CONTROL


CPU Input Boot Voltage. = Auto.

CPU Load-line Calibration. =
Level 7.

CPU VRM Switching Frequency. = Manual.

Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency(khx). =
500.

CPU Power Phase Control. =
Optimized. ( whats the best one to use? )

CPU Power Duty Control. =
T.Probe.

CPU Current Capability. = 100%

CPU Power Thermal Control. = 115.

DRAM Current Capability (CHA,CHB). =
100%

DRAM Current Capability (CHC,CHD). =
100%

DRAM Switching Frequency (CHA,CHB). =
Manuel.

Fixed DRAM -AB Switching Frequency(KHz). =
800.

DRAM Switching Frequency(CHC,CHD). = Manuel.

Fixed DRAM -CD Switching Frequency(KHz). = 800.

DRAM Power Phase Control(CHA, CHB). =
Optimized.

DRAM Power Phase Control(CHC, CHD). = Optimized.


POWER SETTING.



Full Manual Mode. =
Enabled.

CPU Core Voltage. = 1.262500 ( dose this look to high for 4.6GHz?)

CPU Cashe Voltage. = 1.35000v ( Dose this look right for a Max cashe of 46? )

CPU System Voltage. = Auto. - but shows 0.848v ( what is this best set to? )

CPU SVID Support. = Disabled. ( whats this best set to? )

CPU Input Voltage. = 1.840 ( is this ok for 4.6 GHz? )

DRAM SVID Support. = Disabled. ( whats this best set to? )

DRAM Voltage(CHA, CHB). = 1.200v

DRAM Voltage(CHC, CHD). = 1.200v

PCH Core Voltage. = Auto. = Shows - 1.050v ( is this ok? )

PCH I/O Voltage. = Auto. = Shows = 1.490v ( is this ok? )

Everything from this point is set to Auto please let me know if there are any setting that need tweaking or the will be better set a bit higher or lower. but id like to know how to get the Vcore to drop when just on the desktop will be a big help.

nah just stick to auto, they wont go too high if youve set your vcore manually. if it crashes you can up them a little. after that you can try yourself on LLC for some vdroop. like Qwinn alrady said, for a longer occt test youll need propably 0.025v more than usual (just like in a custom prime run)

"id highly recommend to not use synthetic benchmarks like occt when using adaptive voltage, that can go very wrong."

For the record, I've done my 10 hour OCCT runs on adaptive voltage. Voltage set to 1.26v in the BIOS never went over 1.28 under load. I think the perils of such runs are overblown on our chips. Per Raja, Haswell had some serious issues with AVX instructions in adaptive mode causing overvoltage, but they were discovered and patched in Haswell-E.

I do have an odd chip though. I actually have better stability in adaptive mode than I do in manual mode set at the same level.

thats interesting, i didnt knew theyve fixed that. ive tried adaptive voltage too and it does work kinda strange for me, like it doesnt matter what voltage im using (ive tried to get 1.25ish just like on fixed) but i can even go down to 1v and a 0.05v offset, itll still pull voltage up to 1.28v, i dont know why.. ive tried offsets between 0.005v and 0.200v but it doesnt matter, itll pull always the same voltage.. tried on different bios versions too.

For the offset amount, just put 0.001. This effectively sets your idle voltage to Auto. For me, I idle around 0.750.

For additional turbo amount, thats where you put your max voltage minus 0.001.

Under load you'll generally get whatever you set the max to plus 0.016 or so... the next bin up.

Ar thanks Qwinn was just about to ask about the idle vcore. as i get about 0.750v as well didn't know if i was missing out. i had the vcore with an offset of 0.005 and a max at 1.275 so i had a total of 1.280v but in OS it was pulling 1.296v. iv now set it to 0.005 offset and 1.265v giving me a max of 1.270v but now it just pulls 1.280v at 4.6ghz dose that seem ok? iv started overclocking the cashe to 4.0ghz at 1.2v and all tests pass so far. But when i set the cpu cashe to adaptive voltage at 0.005 offset and 1.195v giving me 1.2v max windows wont make it past post? i get debug b1? is there something im missing?

Your voltages seem fine.

Adaptive cache voltage simply doesn't work in most circumstances. It's an Intel issue, I think. You have to go manual or offset. I'm stable at 3.8Ghz at manual 1.1v. Don't raise your cache voltage over 1.2v.

so its it ok to keep the cache at a static voltage for 24/7 use? what the safe max Cache Vcore so i dont go over it. plus when you set the cache to 38 do you keep the min on auto or do you set that to 38 as well.

one more thing. when i leave the CPU load-line calibration and CPU Current capability as well as the DRAM Current capability on Auto in the Bios. when i go into AI Suite 3 in windows it shows that the LLC has been set to level 9. CPU Current Capability it 140% and DRAM is 120% dose that seem ok or will i be best setting the manual now? is the VRM Spread spectrum better off or auto or fixed?
