Need help with overclocking
Need help with overclocking
Hello Everyone,
I have a second PC that I use for streaming and I want to get the best performance from it.
I managed to overclock it to 4.2 with the stock cooler.
The temperature reading shows the CPU is at 52 degrees Celsius during the CPU-x stress test.
Is this a positive or negative result?
Should I try pushing it even higher?
Also, why does BIOS set the voltage to 1.33 while CPU-Z shows 1.27?
By the way, I have an Fx-6300.
Thanks.
52°C under load isn't too bad. With a $25 cooler you'd likely get another ~400Mhz and still manage to lower the temperatures slightly more. Voltage might be throttling when not in use, or readings could be off—try checking various sources, apps, and averaging the results.
