Is The GA-78LMT-USB3 Mobo a good overclocking device?
So according to the thread, you're using a GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard with the FX-6300 and a decent cooler (Cryorig H7). You're aiming to push the FX-6300 overclock to around 4.4 ghz. Currently it's running at 4.1 ghz with a Vcore of 1.375. There are many mixed opinions online about whether this board can handle such an overclock. Some people think it's possible, others say it won't work. You're looking for a clear and honest decision on whether to keep the current settings or try higher speeds.
It's just a brief 4+1 power phase, which isn't ideal for overclocking. Aim for 8+2 or higher would be better. This push is mainly for an 8-core setup, but generally not worth it. The VRM heatsink helps slightly, but not much. 4.4 might be out of the question, and even a few hundred MHz won't really help with gaming performance—just generate more heat and instability. I reached 4.86hz, but it wasn't feasible. The heat could melt the ice caps. Keeping around 4.3 is acceptable, and it didn't change much in my games compared to 2.
Do you think increasing the voltage slightly to about 1.390 and choosing the 4.3 overclock or sticking with the 4.1 GHz overclock would be better? I also heard some advice not to exceed 1.4 for the Vcore voltage, and I’m unsure if I could keep a stable 4.3 GHz at that lower voltage.
