Check the power usage and safety details for the Amd fx 6300(o.c)2016.
i increased my fx 6300 to 4.2 ghz plus a turbo core at 4.8 ghz with 1.485 v.
my specifications are gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 (4+1 phase, mofset on vrm), corsair vs 450, gt 730.
at idle it runs at 40 c, gaming at 65-70 c under stress, peaking at 78 c.
i’m using the stock cooler and the case is well ventilated.
how much power will it draw?
could this cause issues? i plan an upgrade in 2018-19.
my room temperature is about 35-40 c.
It depends on your motherboard's VRM design, not the processor. The chipset can manage up to 1.5 volts or more with a quality cooler. If your board supports 125W and the FX 6350 or newer models are listed, it should perform well up to 4.4–4.5 GHz.

At 4.2 GHz it behaves similarly to the FX 6350, maintaining turbo speed while staying within the 125W limit.
Ensuring a strong CPU and proper case cooling is essential.
There are no original characters on that board, but it has weak power and thermal management. It supports up to 62C, throttles at around 70%, and can shut down safely. It passed the two-hour stress test so far.
Similar to others before you, yes it will function initially.
It won't be long-lasting, which is why we provide this guidance.
You must never overclock a 125w FX processor on such a board. Boards like the 970 or 990fx should only use an 8+2 power phase.
Like many others before you, yes it will work initially.
It won't last long, which is why we provide this guidance.
You must never push a 125w FX processor beyond its limits on such a board.
A board using a 970 or 990fx with an 8+2 power phase is suitable.
Is the FX 6300 a 95-watt chip safe to overclock without raising voltage?
