FX 6300 won't go past 3.9 ghz
There-s also that darn luck of the draw or "Silicone lottery" but AMD says that up to 1.5v is fine, only problem could be cooling and VRM.
CountMike shared his initial voltage setting and asked about FSB or multiplier adjustments. He mentioned changing the FSB if needed, noting RAM would also increase and PCIe should be manually set at 100. He explained he's raising the voltage because higher clock speeds are causing poor performance, with a default PCI frequency of 100. He also thanked the person for their help.
I recently changed from FX 6350 and GA-990XA-UD3, running at 4.8GHz, which required 1.52v. It was installed with an under-water cooler. Be careful if you increase the FSB speed, as it also affects memory speed. Raising just the multiplier is simpler since it doesn't impact other components.
CountMike shared his experience with the switch from FX 6350 and GA-990XA-UD3, noting the need for 1.52v at 4.8GHz and mentioning the use of an under-water cooler. He warned about potential memory speed increases when raising FSB and suggested adjusting only the multiplier for better stability. He also mentioned achieving 4ghz but experiencing lower performance compared to 3.9GHz, asking for possible reasons behind this issue.
