How to Increase your GPU performance on MSI R7 250 2gb and AMD FX 6300
Hello, I can assist you with that. Overclocking your MSI R7 250 and FX 6300 is a good idea, especially since you're using a Gigabyte GA 78LMT S2 motherboard. The issue with the MSI afterburner is that it causes the top three scales to become grayed out. Let me know if you need further guidance.
The cpu you can likely adjust in the bios as long as you have sufficient cooling (at least four heatpipes with a larger fan), I suggest increasing the multiplier to an even number and adding voltage if p95 fails or the computer freezes before the first obstacle (~6 minutes). Adjust voltage in steps of 0.01v per step and check stability. If you aim for a specific clock (for example 4.6ghz), set that value and raise voltage until it stabilizes or exceeds 60 degrees. If it's over 60, you should reduce the clock or voltage, or both.
The cpu you can probably oc in the bios as long as you've got decent cooling for it (4 heatpipes or more with a 10cm or larger fan(s)), I would say add to the multiplier at an even number (no decimals) and add voltage if p95 fails workers or freezes computer before the first hurdle (~6mins). Add voltage in increments of .01v per bump and then test for stability. If you have a goal clock in mind (eg 4.6ghz) then set that clock and increase voltage until stable or you go over 60 degrees. If you're over 60 that's redlining it and you need to back off either the clock or voltage or both.
I've got my 8350 @ 4.6ghz but it required an additional .22v to get stable. I have a crazy good air cooler though which keeps it below 60 under stress. Anything above 60 and you're going to need better cooling.
Idk why afterburner isn't unlocked for you, I assume you have catalyst installed? Have you tried afterburner version 4.3?
If you want a fantastic air cooler build what I put in my sig, a Silverstone Heligon HE01 w.dual SilverStone FHP141's, it's about 10 degrees cooler than a Cooler Master Hyper 612 with a jetflo fan mounted on it which was my previous cooler and also comparable to liquid cooling rigs.
