Overclocking and CPU compatibility for MSI 760GMA-P34
JR1988 :
well lets say I did put an 8 core on it and don't OC at all would the performance increase be substantial enough to be worth it? it does sound like really should get a 970 board to take full advantage of the 8 core cpu's though, older chipset just won't do it any justice I guess?
well I'm still pretty impressed with the old fx4300 I wonder if 6300 6 core is much better? once I get my R9 270 and PSU should run pretty damn good I'm thinking xD
I may be too late on this, but just in case it is searched again, I have the MSI board you speak of, and was running the 4300, and did push the upgrade to the 6350fx, There is a very noticeable difference in the speed, but also the heat. My core temp when playing games was only hitting about 48C, the newer 6350 has pushed it to 53C, and a couple of times i hit 55-56C. I dare not OC for fear of overheating.
Update on my previous update: I installed a liquid cooling system (Corsair H60) and achieved FX6350 temperatures in the 30-40 range. The setup has been stable with no shutdowns or BSODs. Everything appears to be functioning well so far. I also have four fans now—top mount, rear mount, and two side mounts, which is the most open area around my PC.
