Adjust your FX 6300 to 4.3 but the temperature remains between 31-37°C after 20 minutes of running at 95% load.

Jackshutty says he has a balance of 0.500 and is okay as long as it doesn't exceed 1.500.
That`s about right then, most FX based chips will over clock on average 800Mhz without the need for any core voltage change to the cpu and with a decent air cooler sit at 37c to 40c under a prime 95 test.
Once you start to increase the core voltage at 4.5Ghz then things will start to heat up a bit more rapidly Jack.
You may be able to get the cpu up to 4.6Ghz but it will require around 1.46v to 1.48v dpending on how good the bit of silicone substrate the cpu was formed on.
On water you can push it a liitle bit more. but once your at the 1.5v range and slightly above at 1.53v it gets a bit crazy if trying it with an air cooler.
Just don`t hit 1.6v Jack. keep it just around 1.5v or if you can. If you intend to try to get a bit more out of the FX chip.
At that point I would recommend, you consider using a water cooling loop though.
I have seen on water FX 6300`s running at 1Ghz overclock. That`s about the max I have seen an FX pushed.
It just depends also on how good your motherboard is and extra case fans as well as a water cooling cpu loop.
it stopped after 25 minutes on prime 295 i increased the voltage once more and it reached 1.440v
You might need to settle for 4.3Ghz then adjust.
If the voltage adjustment helps stabilize the system during a prime 95 test, 800Mhz OC is reasonable and typical with FX CPUs.
If it remains unstable, you should lower the OC by 100Mhz and recheck stability.
The voltage changes slightly across all Fx chips.
It relies on how your setup is configured, Jack.
On my system I maintain a peak frequency of 4.5Ghz.
To achieve this, you need to adjust your BIOS and ensure cool and quiet settings are turned off.
Also, the turbo CPU core feature must be disabled in the BIOS.
If the CPU idles on Windows Desktop without load—such as when running Prime95—it causes the voltage to decrease.
When both core speed and voltage are kept at their maximum BIOS settings, it works fine for me.
I have already disabled them shaun, I managed to get it to 4.4mhz stable, when I get in from work I'm going to try and get it to 4.5 then settle with that, I still have a bit of head room it's at 1.450v at the moment. Do you think I should try and push a little bit higher?
