AMD FX 6300 voltage problem
AMD FX 6300 voltage problem
Hi,
I'm new here. I have overclocked my FX 6300 up to 4 Ghz. I tested it for 45 minutes on prime95 and it passed without any problems. The weird thing though were my voltages. My stock voltage was at 1.15 v (really low, usual stock voltage for FX 6300: 1.35 v).So I put it up to 1.24 v(still low). Like I said it run fine. During the prime95 test i looked at the core voltage and it said 1,176v!! And when i did normal tasks on my computer it said 1.24 v. Can someone tell me the problem? I would be really thankfull. If there was a solution, should I change it or just leave it, because it's running fine already.

It sounds like you're running into Vdroop. This is where the voltage across the CPU drops while under load due to the CPU requiring more power. These inconistant voltage drops can sometimes cause crashes if the drop is big enough that the CPU now doesn't have enough power.
Overall, if your OC is stable: don't worry about it. But if it bothers you, or if you want to overclock farther, look for a setting in your BIOS called "Load Line Calibration" or something similar (Varies between manufacturers). What this does is it allows your motherboard to realise when the voltage being provided is dropping from Vdroop and allows it to compensate by temporarily bumping how much voltage it can provide.
Obviously, I'm skimming details. Check out...
It seems you're encountering issues with Vdroop. This occurs when the voltage across the CPU decreases under load because the CPU needs more power. These small voltage drops can occasionally lead to crashes if they become significant enough to deprive the CPU of sufficient power.
If your overclock stability is good, don't be concerned. However, if it bothers you or you wish to push overclocking further, check your BIOS for a setting like "Load Line Calibration" (the exact name may vary by manufacturer). This feature enables the motherboard to detect the dropping voltage from Vdroop and adjust its output temporarily.
Of course, I'm just summarizing the key points. For more details, explore other forums or search online, but this captures the main idea.
