Fx 6300 cryorig h7 or h5 ultimate/universal
I began adjusting my FX 6300 to 4.1ghz with an aftermarket cooler "hyper212x" and consistently see temperatures between 36-39°C at idle and 47-49°C during use. I’m considering pushing it to 4.4-4.5ghz and heard that H7/H5 by "cryorig" might be superior to Hyper 212/x. I want to find out if using H7/H5 would help keep the temps stable as I go higher, and I don’t want to use liquid cooling.
^ And that mostly addresses the point.
We suggest going with a cryorig instead of the 212 'IF' you already have one.
That's why, though, it would cost more than $40 for a small improvement in performance.
Also, don't assume you'll reach 4.5ghz—some don't.
Much depends on chip selection and your motherboard.
You didn't mention which board you're using?
A 212x unit can handle a 6300 @ 4.5ghz without requiring excessive voltage increases.
All depends on your wants. Is the H7 better all around than the hyper212? Yes, it'll handle an OC better, not by much, but still better, and anything less that saturation point the H7 will run quieter. The H5 is better than either, you'll not overheat an H5 on a 6300 at @4.4-4.5 unless something is terribly wrong with the voltages. But that'll only mean the cooler will run a lot quieter as it's really not being pushed hard. Any of the 3 coolers mentioned can handle 4.5 without issue, the smaller coolers just run louder as they are seeing a higher degree of usage vrs ability.

That covers it well. We suggest going with a cryorig instead of the 212 'IF' you already have one.
You should, though, because it would cost over $40 for a small improvement in temperature.

It really depends on the chip selection and your motherboard.

I'm using a gigabyte 970 gaming motherboard.
i began adjusting my fx 6300 to 4.1ghz with an aftermarket cooler "hyper212x" and consistently see idle temps between 36-39°C and playing temps at 47-49°C. i’m considering pushing it to 4.4-4.5ghz and want to know if h7/h5 from "cryorig" would help keep the temperature stable as i go higher. i don’t like liquid cooling.
if your load temperatures reach 70°C, you should stop. i’ve run my fx 8320 at 4.75ghz on a hyper 212 and it cools adequately.
^ yep. AMD's official TDP for the FX is 62°C, but that's a temp reading that's about impossible to determine with any accuracy on the FX, as AMD was kind enough not to put accurate sensors where they are needed the most. Usually translates to @72°C being flat out maxed, beyond that point you are walking on thin ice and cpu stability and performance drops off in a hurry. So keep it under 70°C, or better yet, use AMD Overdrive which gives a Tcase Max figure of 0, the close you get to 0, the hotter the cpu, so actual, accurate temp readings aren't nearly that important. A overdrive reading in the teens-twenties is about high as you'll want to really push it.
