[bL1nd3R]

Hello, what settings should i use in bios to overclock FX-6300 and my RAM ?
RIG :
MOBO : ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Rev. A x2
CPU : FX-6300
CPU FAN : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

The thing that will hold you back is the 4+1 power phase design in that board.

I would try upping the base multiplier by 100-300 MHz and test. I never had to change any voltages for my mild oc on my 8350

Currently on my phone so it's hard to more into depth

Good luck the motherboard sucks and wont hold up to an overclocked quad core let alone hexa core

think its really that bad? we are talking a 6300 here not trying to get a 6350 to 4.8ghz.. seeing what clock can be reached at 1.4v should not really be a problem in my opinion

 

[cdawall]

There is no difference between the 6300 and 6350 as far as wattage consumed at any given clock.

 

[xfia]

I know. Just for stock clock comparison sake. I would just disable the turbo, set vcore to turbo value and the turbo clock of 4.1ghz to start and if it passes the vcore can be lowered or multiplier increased

Unless you have fans on the heatsinks for the VRMs and a cooler that can take a hit on the CPU, you could get like, a bonus 200mhz out of it.

Will anyone try to help me with me settings or you're just going to figh eachother ?

Sure, we'll help. How bad do you want a smoke in your case? That board is NOT made for overclocking.

23x multi, 1.4v may or may not work. It is an unlocked CPU pretty retard proof to OC.

Can u recommend a good board for overclocking then ?

Any 990FX board with more than 4+1 power phase is good.

I really like my 990FX Sabertooth R2.0, however it has a crap ton of extra bios settings that might make your eyes pop out. ((8 +2 Digital Phase Power Design)

All these MB's are good for overclocking the FX CPUs. The expensive ones are better at it, but you only have a FX 6300 that should be np with any of these boards, to push it to the limit.

can you still return the one you have now? if you cant and its still working I think you might just want to cut your loses and come back here before your next build for advice.
part of the reason I say this is when the overclock will count it will still be miles behind a Intel inside plus the cooler you have is decent but its not really meant to be trying for 5ghz.
just money better spent else where but dont worry you have a good budget pc that is better than a game console plus those console games dont really care how little 1 core has to give anymore.

 

[bL1nd3R]

all i want is more than 4.0 GHz. 4.3/4.5 it's perfect.
And i can't return the one that i have now.
I'll just do what this guy did

.

 

[xfia]

its possible you could get there at 1.4v with your mobo and cooler if you got a good chip. you just cant go higher on the vcore because yeah to much power. the fx9590 uses 1.5v for 5ghz and there is a major difference in that .1v

 

[Devon68]

I wont lie to you but the money you will spend on a new board will not be worth the performance you would get from overclocking.
In your case I would just wait till I'm ready to upgrade the whole system. But with your system you should be fine for another 2-3 years depending on the settings you like to play your games on.

YT nub.. dont touch anything to do with c6. like seriously more touching the bios is not a good thing.
No one came in and told you to change more than what we suggested because its fine.

I overclocked with those settings and i turned the cpu voltage instead of 3.875 to 4.500 . But in OCCT when i test it , it gives me error, what should I do ?

 

[Toothless]

Dude, you'll just kill something at this point. You don't know how to overclock and you're trying on a weak board. By all means go ahead and kill your rig but don't come back crying when your rig won't post.

 

[xfia]

you took it over 1.4v

read this but yeah there is a reason I didnt link it already

Asus R9 270 DirectCU II <- is this your GPU? For what do you want to overclock anyway? You don't get much out of it, because your GPU is the weakest part of your system and 10 times more important compared to the CPU. What you really need is a new GPU or a whole new system - don't buy a new mainboard and don't overclock if you're not sure what you're doing. Our advice stands, everything you do on your own, is your own risk.

Even if he ups that GPU, that CPU won't do much until overclocked and THEN he's held back by the board. I used to run that chip until the 970 board I had died without any overclocking.

I now have it stable at 4.4GHz wit vcore 1.4.
