6300 gigabyte 970a-DS3P

[xQuincy]

Anyone have a stable overclock for the fx 6300 on a gigabyte 970a-DS3P? I'm trying to get it overclocked to atleast 4.0ghz. I have a 600w PSU and a asetek 510lc cooler.

You should be just fine. Although I have an MSI 970 Gaming Mobo, i've got mine at 4.6 on my h60 water cooling system. 4 GHz should be very attainable.

What are your bios settings? i was thinking of hitting the sweet spot of 4.3 ghz

The VRM is not heatsinked and you only have 4+1 phases. You'll need a good custom cooler eg Cryorig H7.

Is it a good PSU? What graphics card?

These guys - http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/57615-amd-vishera-fx-6300-fx-4300-review-17.html - got a bit over 4.8GHz.

Then you should aim for say 4.5GHz.

I don't know how much i should tweak of each settings, you have any stable numbers i can pluck into bios?

 

[soldier5637]

Yep, aim high. You should be at around 1.45 volts at 4.6 GHz. Or at least I am.

 

[i7Baby]

That's not the way you OC. Read guides.

Start off low, check stability and if OK go up 0.1Ghz. Repeat till it's not stable then back off to the last stable OC.

What should i put for 4.5?

 

[soldier5637]

Well Yes you do start off low, but im saying you likely will end up at or around 1.45 volts. for 4.5 you wont be far off that at all.

The FX6300 - http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-6300.html will boost to 4.1 at about 1.425v. Try to start there.
