For now underclocking it to 3.0 GHZ works just well, 39~45ºC while playing. I'll try cleaning the cooler and applying new thermal paste, if it doesn't work, I'm going to buy a new cooler. I don't plan on buying another motherboard because the fx6300 is getting outdated and maybe I will get a new...

I'm using the stock cooler. It's running most of the time @ 3500RPM. Specs: FX6300 @3.5 [no over] 750Ti 8GB RAM ASRock N68 S3 FX 500W Since it's max temperature is 70.5, then maybe I should buy a better cooler? I though the stock one was enough if I would not overclock it.

Hi guys, so lately I had some performance issues with my games, like sudden FPS drops, so I did some tests and noticed that my FX 6300 underclocks itself under 100% load to 1.5GHZ for some reason. Is 69ºC a bad temperature for it? Screenshots: IDLE http://i.imgur.com/N6TnqG3.jpg UNDER LOAD...

Screenshots when idle / during stress test: http://imgur.com/a/5dDaZ Could also be that since it is using more power maybe?

I ran a stress test with HeavyLoad and monitored the temps with HWMonitor. For some reason the CPU cores were underclocked to 1.5GHZ, while they stayed the whole time @ 60ºC. It's still good temps, right? Why did it underclock itself?

I just turned off Cool n quiet in bios and the performance is normal again (no more frame drops, good framerate), but after playing for some time the performance gets bad again until I restart the game. Could this still be the PSU or maybe overheating?

Since I have a generic PSU I think it might be the problem. I noticed that if I run games on dual core mode by setting affinity I get slightly better FPS (still not even close to playable). I do not get artifacts on screen, and I think RAM is not at fault, since it's brand new(my older RAM...

I mentioned GTA San Andreas, which is a very old game (2004). I didn't even test GTA V, since SA already has such low FPS even @ 800x600 all low. Minecraft also keeps stuttering nonstop.

Hey guys, so some time ago my PC stopped sending signal to the monitor. My specs were [ FX 6300 , 8GB RAM, ATI HD 4670 ]. Holding the power button to turn it off then turning it back on would solve the case most of the time. After a while, due to this, my windows install was corrupt, so I...
