Can you increase the clock speed of your AMD Fx 6300 using a standard cooling solution?
Can you increase the clock speed of your AMD Fx 6300 using a standard cooling solution?
Motherboard: MSI 970a Sli Krait edition
CPU: AMD Fx 6300 (Stock Cooler)
GPU: GTX 750 Ti
RAM: 16 Gbs DDR3 1600 Mhz
PSU: CX550m corsair
Just aiming to boost CPU utilization without an aftermarket cooler to enhance the gaming experience in Black Desert Online.
Thanks! -Esteban
Yes, you can likely extend it to around 3900MHz or perhaps 4100MHz. I installed my FX 4300 to 4300MHz sock cooler, but no voltage adjustment should be made. The original cooler isn't designed to handle any increase in voltage. Maintaining core temperatures below 65°C is essential—it's the maximum safe limit.

Ryan_78 agrees you can likely adjust to around 3900MHz or even 4100MHz. I’ve set my FX 4300 to 4300MHz with the sock cooler, but no voltage change should be made. The original cooler won’t handle any increase in voltage.

Thanks a lot!
Try experimenting with undervolting to cut heat and noise. I’d set it to 4.gzh and turn off turbo and C1E. Slowly lower the vcore until you hit stress testing failure, then raise it back up a few Mv. That should work.
I’ve seen a 6300 run at 4.5 on 1.322 and my current 8350 at 4.5 on 1.368, both below the stock voltage of 1.380
Esteban_15 suggested possible adjustments to 3900MHz or 4100MHz, noting the FX 4300 reached 4300MHz successfully with a sock cooler, but advising no voltage change and keeping core temps below 65C. Ryan_78 recommended undervolting to lower heat and noise, using settings like 4.gzh, disabling turbo and C1E, gradually reducing the vcore until stress testing fails, then slightly increasing it again. He shared results from a 6300 achieving 4.5 at 1.322 and his 8350 reaching 4.5 at 1.368, both below the stock voltage of 1.380. Ryan also mentioned current performance with 4.6 at 1.39v and expressed satisfaction with the chips, while suggesting a test at 1.41v and 4.8 for further evaluation.
