Chapter 5: Obtaining the 5 Ghz Overclock
5 Ghz is possible even without deliding. However we suggest you delid as it increases your chances of obtaining a stable 5 Ghz. Delidding your CPU will reduce your CPU temperatures by 15-30C on load which allows for higher voltage settings thus higher overclocks.
We recommend using dual-radiator water cooling for the best results. A good air cooler such as the Enermax ETS-T50 that uses a push-pull fan setup paired with a good CPU may be able to hit 5 Ghz.
For the specific steps please refer to the overclocking guide above. The specific settings for a 5 Ghz overclock are listed below.
