Is your BIOS the latest?

Are you changing from Auto to manual?

yeah my guess is you're still in auto mode.. you gotta select manual.
make sure when OC you disable CnQ and AMD turbo right off the bat..

Yes!

AMD Turbo isnt one of the options i have to disable

Yes in the bios...
You're mainly concerned with the Bus Frequency And the CPU Ratio..
You need to disable all auto OC from the board and set everything to manuel..
Dont forget to adjust the cpu voltages in SMALL increments (VCore)
So u have CnQ Disabled correct??
I would maybe even downclock your RAM to around the 1600MHz area depending on how much of a OC you're trying to get.
What is you 6300 running at right now?

Also get prime95 and HWmonitor installed before you begin to OC..
We need to make sure you're processor isnt throttling at the moment BEFORE we start.
both software are free
Also interested what your 6300 is using on its Vcore stock at load

It's running at 3.5ghz

Been using the AMD overdrive to test various multipliers and voltages and its been pretty nifty. The great thing about the program is that if you do crash or mess up the settings, it'll restart the computer back at stock settings so you don't have to worry about a constant crash.

Don't know if the app is jacked up but I got mine up to 4.2 the other day.
