Check if running your AMD 6300 at 1.95V with a deepcool Captain 120 120mm cooler is safe.

Before you start assuming any frying happened, please hope some safety measures worked and protected you. Adjusting the Vcore to 1.95V is quite extreme and likely would have caused a failed overclock. It’s best to confirm your BIOS is running with the original settings before proceeding.

Setting the Vcore at this level might also risk damaging your motherboard, so let's first try resetting the CMOS. Unplug the computer, open the tower, and remove the lithium battery. For a complete reset, leave the battery out for half an hour, then reinstall it and restart the system. Begin pushing...

This will harm your CPU, since maintaining that voltage requires liquid nitrogen cooling. Using this cooler suggests temperatures above 1.45V would be unsafe for it.

Well, it seems I already did an overclock based on that tutorial, but my BIOS didn’t match what I expected. I’m worried the CPU might be damaged now. Could something else have been affected too?

Before deciding to fry anything, assume some safety measures worked and protected you. Adjusting the Vcore to 1.95V is quite risky and likely led to an overclock failure. Ideally, your system should have stayed within BIOS limits.

Setting the Vcore at this level might also harm your motherboard, so let's focus on resetting the CMOS first. Unplug the computer, remove the lithium battery, and wait half an hour before reinserting it. Restart your PC and press the delete key when it boots up. If you reach BIOS and find a load optimal setting, apply it and restart.

If Windows loads properly, you were lucky and avoided damage. Otherwise, you probably damaged your CPU. Generally, an FX CPU should not exceed 1.55V even with top cooling solutions.
