Overclocking Questions for FX 6300

[Venlord]

I was wondering is with worth overclocking the FX 6300 to 4.5GHz. If you have an overclocked FX processor I would appreciate it if you can tell me what you thought about the result, but any feedback is greatly appreciated.

And if it is worth overclocking do you think I can pull off a 4.5GHz stable overclock with this setup.

Pretty big gap.

Yes it's worth overclocking and realistically you could get 4-4.2ghz which is still free performance over what you have.

The TX3 cooler isn't going to keep the temps down enough to go higher since you're already sitting at 50c load at stock speed, max threshold for FX is 62c. At least have 1 120mm rear exhaust 50ish cfm and 1 120mm front or side intake same 50ish cfm, current 50c seems a touch high considering the stock fx6300 is probably only drawing 1.25ish volts at 95w. You should be somewhat safe at 1.3ish and a bit volts maybe close to 1.35v.

TX3 is actually worse than an old vendetta 2 but the tx3 is still a little better than the amd pos stock cooler.

With my FX8350 \ tuniq tower at 1.35xx v my load is 45c to get 4.4ghz stable running across all cores all the time, no turbocore, c1e or cool n quiet crap.

Some comparisons ^ but you may as well use what you've got.

Ps, remember overclocking is at your own risk.

HWMonitor, ^ keep an eye on your temps.

Description --------------- Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my Overclock Guide for the AMD FX 6300. With these settings, I running at a stable 4.3ghz.

Basic how to guide ^ BUT imho try with less volts and watch those temps.

I have a FX6100 OC'ed at 4.1GHz, runs at 23C idle and upto 51C at 100% load(tested this on Prime95). I'm using a MSI 970Gaming Mobo, and my cooler is a trusty Hyper412 Slim(the one with Copper heat-pipes). I also have like 4CM XtraFlo and 2CM Sickleflow fans in addition to the two fans included with the cooler.
Of course you can get even more clock speeds if you have a AIO or Custom Liquid cooler.

Certain things to take into consideration:
-- Mobo should be rock solid.
-- Use a good cooling system.
-- Don't over-push it.
-- Ensure decent air-flow into chassis.

tx3 is too small to overclock the fx6300

212evo can get a 10-15% oc
h100+ wil go farther, but put a fan on the mobo vrm area (between the cpu and rear io panel)

that board should be ok
but some gigabyte boards have an issue with flexing and pulling the heatsinks off the vrms

max temp for fx is 62
if it hits that and throttles lower the oc and/or core voltage

You won't get very far with a TX3 cooler, so you are better off just selling the FX CPU and mobo (should be able to command a higher price if it wasn't OC'd), and buying an i5-4460/B85 mobo. Even if it's OC"d the FX will still need to be replaced when you go to upgrade your GPU.

Oh people , for how much he would sell it ? ~60$ ?

new i5 would cost him much more.

Same stupid idea you could say , sell ur AMD 280 , and buy 970 or 390.

This cpu pretty fine in 4.5 and can handle everything .

Except that a 970 or 390 would be bottlenecked by his CPU.

Upgrading to an i5 would future proof the PC for a number of years, otherwise he'd just be wasting money on a Hyper 212 and going through the installation process just to swap it out again in a year or two when he upgrades GPU's.

Expect that you would get 60 fps on Ultra in Fallout 4 and with i5 and 380 maybe same fps in medium /high
