OC FX 6300 with ASUS 970 Pro Gaming / Aura
Hey everyone, just a newcomer to the OC scene here. I've made some minor changes to my chip but didn't go any further. After returning it to factory settings and installing a new Asus motherboard, I'm planning to play more PC games lately and was hoping for a solid upgrade. My current configuration includes: FX 6300 (black edition), pny gtx 960 xlr8, asus 970 pro mobo, cooler master hyper 212 evo, and seasonic 520w 80+ bronze psu. I'm curious about the best stable or safe OC options for this setup. Thanks in advance for your advice.
No, that setup is really unrealistic. The FX6300, likely from 2012, really beats the 8350 in single-core performance. That’s what’s important for now. I installed it at 4642mhz, ran P95 for a while, then moved to Far Cry Primal, which still drops below 60. It does. In the end, you’ll probably start noticing the law of diminishing returns.
I'm adjusting the settings to suit you, displaying them on screen with afterburner or either Evga Precision. If it hits 85°C or above, I'll stop. If you're not comfortable using your computer, move somewhere or rest—turn down the precision or OS afterburner and put your PC in sleep mode. It should stay under 60°C when in sleep with no overclocking.

I currently possess an Asus pro gaming mobo featuring an fx-6300 @4.7ghz, operating at a 1.5v maximum package temperature of 44°C and a max socket temperature of 53°C. However, adjustments with Digi+ are necessary to achieve stable performance: it's running on water.
MrPancakes shares his experience with an Asus pro gaming mobo running an fx-6300 @4.7ghz. He mentions a max package temperature of 44°C and a max socket temperature of 53°C. He notes the need to adjust the digi+ settings for stability and points out it's water-resistant. He asks if anyone has tried the red variant at 140%.

MrPancakes shared their experience with an Asus pro gaming motherboard featuring an FX-6300 @4.7ghz. They mention a max package temperature of 44°C and a max socket temperature of 53°C, but note the need to adjust Digi+ settings for stability. The board is water-resistant. They also inquired about using the red variant at 140%. It causes significant voltage fluctuations ranging from .03 to .04, while they maintain their setup at 120%.
It's good to know. However, I noticed over the last weekend that even after accidentally adjusting my motherboard to its optimized settings, I still achieved over 150 fps in Bioshock Infinite. That's all that matters to me right now. Please don't share any details about it—I didn't realize there would be a twist, and I never finished System Shock or Bioshock.

Would you mind sharing your Digi+ and voltage settings?
