Heyho fellow overclockers,
I just got my hands on an ASUS Rampage III Extreme and paired it with 24GB of 1600Mhz Ram, an Vega 64 Strix, an Intel Xeon X5660 and an LEPA Aquachanger 240 for cooling. I plan to OC the X5660 for daily usage. I read much about OC'ing the X5660 towards 4,5Ghz and decided to set this as a goal.
As I am unable to find a good guide for my particular Mobo and CPU I am asking you for a decent one or simply someone with this CPU and Mobo who has achieved 4,5Ghz stable.
As far as any concerns for power consumption go, no need for that as I have a decent 1000W PSU.
All that is housed in an Black Corsair Graphite 780T with plenty of airflow as I have configured it as follows:
-Three front 120mm Fans as Intake
-One 120mm Fan on the bottom besides the PSU as Intake
-AIO in the top of the case with it's two 120mm fans blowing as outtakes
-One 120mm Fan in the back as Outtake.
Thank you for your time and please excuse my terrible English as I'm from Germany and not really good at English😂
