Today I achieved the 5GHz level using my FX6300 with all six cores, prompting me to consider how much others have accomplished. Please share your results in the reply.
P.S. I reached it at 5019mhz on 251 Base clock, multiplied by 20x and at 1.56v. Memory was at 2341mhz @ CL12....

Your inquiry comes across as somewhat complex due to the variety of air coolers available, some of which perform better than water coolers. I don't personally own an FX 6300, but the top overclock I achieved on one for a client reached 5Ghz (multiplier only), without knowing the Vcore. I won't accept an overclock if it exceeds 1.5V, so it was within that range using an NH-U14S air cooler.

Now with my FX 8370, the best overclock I've managed is 5.5Ghz (multiplier only) at 1.55V, which increased to 1.6V during full load. I wasn't comfortable with the voltage for regular use, so I reduced it to 5.05 (23.5 base clock, 214 BUS) at 1.46V under full load, reaching 1.476V.

I also own a NH-D15S with a 3-fan setup, but it operates in "air" mode. If I were...

I also own an NH-D15S with a 3-fan setup, but it runs continuously. If you were my situation, I'd be very cautious about 1.56V since it could easily exceed 1.6V during full load, which poses a risk. I recommend performing a stress test using Prime 95 and a monitoring tool like HWmonitor. Run it for around 20 minutes to see your highest Vcore reading. In fact, the safest Vcore for an FX chip is around 1.55V, and I'd bet you're likely surpassing that during full load stress testing.
