AMD FX-6300 Overclocking on Gigabyte 990fxa ud3 rev4 help?

[Seraph258]

Hello, I am very new to overclocking and I am having trouble finding the option to disable AMD Turbo Core on the BIOS for my Gigabyte 990fxa-udr rev 4 motherboard. Could it be that I need to update the BIOS in order to see that option?

Specs:
Motherboard - Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 rev4
Processor - AMD FX-6300
GPU - MSI Radeon HD 7950 @ 1070mhz
Memory - 8GB GSkill Ripjaw DDR3 @ 1600mhz

P.S. Im using a Cooler master hyper212 evo heat sink. Would this be enough to get me to 4.3ghz without overheating? Thanks

Look for "AMD TurboBoost Technology"

Yes if you don't use too high of a voltage. I have the FX-6300 and a Hyper 212 Evo too and it runs at 4.6ghz at a max of 62c. Test your system for heat and stability with intel burn test. I am running on a Asus M5A97 R2 which has lower overclocking ability since it is a 970 chipset. You should be able to overclock higher because of the 990fx chipset and better power delivery.
