Overclocking my AMD fx 6300
Overclocking my AMD fx 6300
BigBoomBoom :
AIO doesn't automatically equate to better cooling. CM Hyper 212 Evo is fairly comparable to 120mm radiator AIO. Just a dual tower big air cooler would be plenty for you either with the FX or the i5 CPU.
I have not had an AAA game max out my cpu, it runs 70% though.
Also the AMD FX-6300 will throttle itself at 70c
These are my temps after running P95 (with 4 cores) and skyrim for 2 hours

they are a little high but I doubt anything will max out my system like that.

is a multiplier and FSB ratio OC.
Not every FX CPU wins the silicon lottery, and few reach 5 GHz. In reality, 95% that do operate reliably below 1.55V, though stability varies. For instance, my FX 4350 can start up, run Cinebench, and pass CPU-Z checks at 1.38V, 5.0 GHz, or even 5.5 GHz at 1.55V. To achieve true stability, I require around 1.62V at 4.9 GHz. Since then I’ve settled for 1.55V at 4.8 GHz on a 280mm AIO, using push-pull and CPU mirroring to match the die. You might view this as an unstable chip, but my standard for stability is 100 IBT AVX runs at High frequency without any lockup, freeze, black screen, or BSoD. For the FX 4350 Rig, a heatsink with fan would suggest 1.45V and a 4.5 GHz overclock for confirmed performance. My chip held steady at 1.4V for 4.5 GHz AVX, while gaming stability was around 1.325V.
Settings:
VCore: 1.45000V
BCLK: 200.00 MHz
Multiplier: 22.5x
Disable Turbo Core, C1E, APM, C States, and HPC.
I guarantee a stable overclock, not just low voltage E-Peen results.
