Assist with boosting performance on your AMD FX-63000
Assist with boosting performance on your AMD FX-63000
I was thinking if anyone could assist me in boosting the performance of my FX-6300. I just purchased the new Cryorig H7 today and realize my overclocking capabilities will be limited, but I’m curious about the potential gains and the methods to achieve them. I’m still relatively new to this area, so I appreciate any guidance.
Begin by entering and boosting the multiplier. You can experiment with voltages later to reach even higher speeds.
Start by going in and increasing the multiplier. Later you can experiment with voltages to reach higher levels. http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-b...otherboard I used OC Genie once and performed a stress test with Prime95, which caused one core to stop after about 30 seconds, so I disabled it right away. Many people advised avoiding it, but I was curious—how could someone boost their multiplier? I’m familiar with adjusting CPU voltage, but I haven’t found the multiplier setting yet. EDIT: I noticed I can modify the multiplier in MSI Command Center, will that be effective?
The most effective method is to reset your BIOS to its default configuration. After that, turn off all power-saving features and manually set your multiplier to a higher value, such as 4 GHz. Restart the system, perform an Intel burn test, and use a free tool like hwmonitor to monitor temperatures. Let the burn test run while you observe the temps. If the CPU exceeds 60, stop the test immediately. Adjust one parameter at a time through the BIOS, and if stability returns, recall your previous stable setting.
Don't rely on the OC genie or software overclocking. The most effective method is to reset your BIOS to default configurations. Turn off all power-saving features and manually set your multiplier to around 4GHz. Restart the system, perform an Intel burn test, and use a free tool like hwmonitor to monitor temperatures. Let the burn test run while you observe the temps. If the CPU exceeds 60, stop the test immediately. Adjust one parameter at a time through the BIOS. It may be more effortful, but if stable settings are maintained, you should be able to revert to the last stable configuration once instability appears.
I completed the test at 3.9GHz and it succeeded well, though I encountered stability issues during the Intel burn test at 4.0GHz around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This suggests keeping the frequency at 3.9 might be preferable.
Also, I overlooked noting that at 3.9GHz the maximum temperature reached was 53°C according to MSI Command Center. My voltage was 1.3175. Is this voltage unusually high or within normal range?
I believe 1.5 is the limit. You might increase the voltage by one step to check if it stabilizes.
I believe the maximum is around 1.5. You might increase the voltage slightly to check for stabilization. I raised it to 1.3275 and tested with the OC at 4.0, which performed better, though the intel burn test still flagged instability. Should I maintain the OC at 3.9 or go higher?
It really depends on how comfortable you are with the situation. Right now I'm at 4.3 on 1.3 volts. I believe the safe limit is about 1.5 volts. What about your temperatures? It comes down to how much you're willing to push it.
For context, my CPU reaches its maximum around 50-54 under full load. I tend to stay below 60, which is why I haven't pushed it that far yet.
The result varies based on your comfort level. I’m currently at 4.3 on 1.3 volts. The maximum voltage seems to be around 1.5. How are your temperatures? It really comes down to how much you’re willing to push it.
For reference, my CPU reaches its limit between 50-54 on full load. I prefer not to exceed 60, which is why I haven’t pushed it too far yet.
My temps are in the mid-50s under load—53°C at 3.9, now 54°C at 4.0. I think this cooler performs well, as I’ve heard many positive things about the Cryorig H7 and it seems to live up to expectations so far.
Could it be that my PSU isn’t providing enough power for the CPU? I have a 500W PSU, and according to pcpartpicker, my average usage with everything at base clock should be around 349W.
EDIT: Also, which BIOS settings should I disable?
I’ve already turned off Cool n' Quiet and C1E, but I’m aware there are others I might be missing.
