This one is rated for 9-10-9-27 2T 1866Mhz, that was why i left the DOCP on, it kept the XML with the timings but bumped the speed (or i thought it did, showed same settings). Im bumping down the RAM and HT/NB as i go along, trying to keep to what i had and know it will work while increasing CPU speed.
If you run into BSOD at all, lower NB frequency via multiplier. Running 2200mhz or 2400mhz yields little difference from daily clocks.
Typically FX characteristic for 5ghz is 1.5v give or take. If you encounter freezing or hangs, this low voltage is a good indicator. add more. For reference FX-9590 here P-states 4.7 - 5ghz at 1.5250v and requires pretty stout cooling.
In addition, adding CPU/NB voltage will increase on die IMC heat. Keeping memory and NB speeds in check will keep this heat to a minimum.
Like to see 1.13750v CPU/NB for nice cool IMC temps while keeping memory at near rated speeds and NB around 2000-2200mhz. Hyper Transport voltage can be left on auto while 2600mhz or less, but may find stability at lower HT frequency such as 2000-2200mhz.
Cpu speed will matter most overall anything else much like GPU speed would for gaming. (So multiplier OC is typical)
I wish you lucks on your quest. most ambient coolers are good for about 5ghz, some people get lucky with low leakage chips and run under 1.5v while higher leakage chips remain stable with higher voltage.
Lower temps will ultimately lower your CPU v-core. Add chilling if you so dare, but might find the experience very grand as many benchmarking guys do. Running 5200mhz while keeping Cpu temps in the late 40c range is where it's at. Keep Core temps under 60c and you'll have a nice overclock on that cpu.
Some pictures of CPU-Z and Temps would be grand as well. People love eye candies
