[SOLVED] About Fx 6300

[fernandogamerdiversionymas]

I have been about 1 year and a half with a 6300 fx, I always heard that it is obligatory to overclock it so it can perform at the best, but I never paid attention to that, I do not like to overclock the components, I do not like the high temperatures , I always like to have everything fresh, so what I have heard is if I overclock the processor to 4.0ghz or 4.2ghz this will have better temperatures and the voltage will be lower (I mean the undervolt, can someone explain if this is true and if Is it recommended to do this?

Don't bother. You do not have an overclock friendly motherboard. Leave it at stock speeds. It was strictly a budget board when it was new. I have experience with about 4-5 of those motherboards that I've built for others.

Agree, your motherboard VRM’s are not up to it. Leave it at stock speed.

i5 4690 is old. You would have to find a used motherboard as they no longer make them. Even used, those motherboards sell for a premium.

Only the i5 4690 "k" versions are unlocked for overclocking. A regular i5 4690 for argument sake, can't be overclocked.

How much is the Intel setup costing you and what country do you live in? Maybe someone could price up newer parts for you.

Upgrading into a i5 4690 and an used motherboard the price will be under 140-150 dollars no more.
