And fx6300 over clock help
Hello everyone,
This is my first attempt at overclocking my CPU and I'm facing a problem.
After reaching 3.9ghz, testing stability with prime95 resulted in a black screen lock.
Here are the details of my system:
Fx6300
Asus M5a97 rev 2.0
16gb DDR3 Gskill sniper 2133
Evga GTX 1070 SC
Sandisk SSD
Corsair H100I with push/pull settings
I've heard about the silicon lottery and know that certain chips may not reach their full potential.
The instructions suggest increasing the multiplyer by 0.5 each time, then running prime95 for an hour to check stability and temperatures before adjusting further.
Thanks in advance.

Consider using IBT-AVX instead of Prime95 since the newest Prime95 versions are optimized for CPUs with improved power handling. The other point is to verify your default vcore setting; it's often set too high, as manufacturers increased it to prevent instability from low yield Vishera/Piledriver. If you're satisfied with the yield, you should be able to achieve around 4.5Ghz at approximately 1.35v.

When evaluating options, opt for IBT-AVX rather than Prime95 since the newest Prime95 versions are optimized for CPUs with improved power handling. The second step involves verifying your default vcore—it's often set too high, as manufacturers increased it to prevent instability from low yield Vishera/Piledriver. If stability is acceptable, you should achieve around 4.5Ghz at approximately 1.35v in your BIOS under "CPU manual voltage."
You might want to experiment with it, but it mainly serves as a guide on the maximum voltage you should use (for a good overclock). I've noticed some overheating problems at the standard frequency, often because the motherboard sets the voltage core voltage to 1.4 by default.

I tested it last night and reached a final clock speed of 4.3ghz with an average temperature of 1.35v under full load, reaching 56-60°C.
Appreciate the advice!
