[SOLVED] Amd fx 6300 clock speed fluctuating

[PrinceTexasLoaf]

so basically my cpu's clock speed moves freely so if i'd put it at 3.8ghz the cores would switch between 3.8ghz-3.5ghz and I was wondering how I could lock the clock speed I already tried throttle stop which it said my cpu isn't supported

Disable turbo in BIOS, Disable C&Q in BIOS, set Win Power Options/Power Plan to High Performance. But keep in mind that the CPU will fluctuate its cores' speeds as the core temp, power envelope, and usage demands.

is there a way to lock the clock speed with an application without turning off turbo core?

There very well may be, but I'm not aware of any. If you turn off turbo, you can OC the FX-6300 to run at 3.8GHz all the time by simply changing the CPU multiplier to 19. Or the turbo speed of 4.1GHz by upping it to 20.5. You may have to watch temps at 4.1GHz if you are using the stock cooler. It may get too hot.

I have gotten it to 4.3 ghz with turbo by tinkering with settings but I had the turbo fluctuating thing lol
So would I be able to turn it up to 4.1 ghz with turbo turned off also would I have to increase the voltage right now the voltage is at 1.32 volts

It is best to always disable turbo when OC'ing so the turbo mode doesn't dynamically raise the clock speed and make it unstable. You only need to raise the voltage if the OC is unstable. And try to stay below 1.5V. The higher the voltage, the shorter the CPU lifespan.

And don't OC w/o a good board, cooler, and PSU. What are you using?

Well my motherboard is a ms 760gm p23 and I'm using a stock cpu cooler I have never had overheating issues with my cpu idk what my psu is but it's for sure in the 300-450 w range also I'm using a 1050ti

Don't expect much in the way of OC'ing with that board. It only has 3+1 power phases, a 95W CPU power limit, and no heat sinks on the VRMs (which lack protection). And Overclock.com rates the board as "Avoid for OC". I suspect as soon as you get above the 95W envelope, the CPU cores will throttle their speed.
