Here you go @heky . I have it set to 1.175V in BIOS, but CPU-Z reads 1.185V. Still... This is my stable overclock that I use daily for games, heavy file compression and and occasional video encoding.

I've used RealBench just to ramp up the clocks so you see what I see at full load plus it shows some system specs. I've tested this OC in various stability programs. I used to have 1.150V but it wasn't stable under heavy load. This appears to be.

Why just stress FPU instead of all system?
FPU pushes far higher power draw and increases temps fairly good too. Given his load temps, and his voltages, he's got a really decent CPU, and might get 5 GHz under high-end watercooling. His clocking is better than one of my 5930Ks...but my 5390Ks do not have gimped PCIe .Why just stress FPU instead of all system?

Same as with running the encode in RealBench... I get more crashes on the last test, passing encode is pretty easy (relatively speaking).
Then I also see his very low cache speed, 3 GHz. Then it's like...oh, OK then.
If ya wanna hammer the memory performance, you gotta increase dat cache, yo. Even the 6950X I'm playing with now need decent cache speed to get decent bandwidth @ 3200 MHz... otherwise the bandwidth isn't much better than the stock 2400 MHz; only copy perforamcne increases, and latency drops. Unfortuantely, I can't get much more than 3600 MHz on the Broadwell-E, while both my 5930K's can do 4.2 GHz with ease.
But dem 4 added cores..... mmmm....
So, 5820K can still be a very good chip to buy, if you can get a good one!
It's going back to Gigabyte in Taiwan this evening.Hey I can take that 6950X off your hand if you want. I have use for 4 moar cores!

Wasn't provided for a CPU review and Intel declined to provide sample for said purpose (jerks! ). You will see a mobo review with it for sure, but I do have a few reviews now waiting to be published.I assume a 6950X full review coming up soon.

Every review I read about Broadwell-E mentions the limited OC headroom, and because I was hoping the 5820K broadwell-e counterpart has the full 40 PCI-e lanes or 2 more cores I was very disappointed and went a head and bought a 5820K as it is cheaper, available now and hopefully overclocks better.I wasn't very impressed with the CPU I got and is pictured above, TBH.

even 4.6 @ 1.3V is pretty good. Your package temps are just a bit high though; try to stay under 75C. Lowering cache(ring) voltage and multi can have dramatic effects sometimes.
What's a stock voltage for cache anyway on 5820K ? The one showed in BIOS?
There is no set "Stock"; it varies from chip to chip. So to find your "stock", on an ASUS board, clear CMOS, boot into BIOS after clear, and check monitoring page in BIOS. Voltage listed is your "stock".(note this doesn't include turbo boost).What's a stock voltage for cache anyway on 5820K ? The one showed in BIOS?
1: Yes. There are many other tests that are good for testing stability for more users, such as ASUS Realbench. P95 and LinX are extreme load examples, and are useful for testing the capability of your cooling, or stability under those specific loads. For memory-specific or cache testing, I might suggest something else, but ASUS Realbench ATM is fairly good.Now I have few questions:
1- Did I make the right decision by ditching the brutal stability tests (Prime95, LinX)?
2- Do I leave it at this OC (4.6Ghz@1.25v) or do I go back to my previous one (4Ghz@1v)? I am concerned about the longevity of the CPU and plan to keep it long as possible.
3- If the answer to question 2 is 'keep the 4.6 OC', do my bios settings look ok? Did I miss anything?

I did not get this. I do not use offset, I use adaptive with an offset of 0.001 as it is the lowest value and I do not want to leave the offset option under adaptive to auto in fear of the motherboard adding more voltage. The goal is to keep the voltage at default when the multiplier is 33 or less..... what I would do is stop using offset voltage, since offset is relative to the multi in use, and as such, does not guarantee your voltage is at any set level for the domains that are set to offset.
