Does anyone have an overclocking profile that I could use please.
Must be workable with my.

X99 RAMPAGE V EXTREME - BIOS 3501! or 3504
4.2 - 4.6 ghz, or what ever anyone has that's stable! "Liquid cooled" ( I'll take any bios version ) I'll just have to retype it all up! If you can take some pictures, maybe quick video of your settings that would be great!

But if you have one of the bioses above hopefully 3504! that would be great!

Thanks in advanced.

Profile can either be used with "Intel overclocking utility, or the bios profiler" thanks.

CPU quality is way too varied for anyone to give you workable settings for you CPU; the best you can get is a general range of what voltages to change and the "safe" upper limits of those changes.

You can also find some guides for ROG boards here:

Seen that guide, and i'm not that smart when it comes to doing it all manually, it's why I'm trying to get someone to send me a copy of their profile!

but if you do get one, you'll still need to do all the same sort of testing and such that you would have to if you did it yourself manually, since the chance that someone else's CPU is similar to your for needed voltages and such is quite unlikely. Also, differences is memory kit used and other things would make such a profile invalid anyway. It's not just a matter of what board and CPU you have... memory kit matters in a big way.

I thought i posted all that know how, I guess i must of edited the main OP then never posted DARN it, yeah, sorry about that! Yes I'm fully aware, only because someone has the same cpu, doesn't mean i'll get the same stability, that's why there's also cpus that are named "Binned" cpus, yes I'm full aware of that, and I'd have to test it all :)
I'm also aware of that ram stuff that i don't mind fiddling with, I just rather find some profile instead of starting from scratch!.

Thanks for saying it though!!

By the way, my cpu was overclocked for me.

If you can do ram, you can do CPU; it only requires CPU voltage change and multiplier change. OC on modern Intel platforms is very easy, and you have a board that will do most things for you. That's part of the reason it costs so much. So, decide what voltage you want to run, change it (you can refer to the ASUS guide for which to change), and then change multiplier, test stability, and repeat as necessary. Not really all that different from going in and enabling XMP, setting DRAM voltage, and testing, really.

I know you can do it! ;)

only thing i know about ram is switching the speed HA!
as you mentioned I have a motherboard built for overclocking and all that, one the reasons I brought it, that and it has dual bioses , one the reasons I wanted to go all out when I brought my setup! that and because the i7 5960x needed an x99 board!

You probably have a few oc profiles built into your BIOS...these will do what you are looking for...for anything more, you will have to do it manually by yourself.

Yeah it has them, was just hIping someone would have a profile.
I currently stared using my secondary bios to try use overclocking and to learn it's great I've managed to figure out a lot of stuff.

Even use Intel extreme utility. And Asus dip5
