Can I OC to 4.5ghz on my fx-6300 with a coolermaster 212 evo?

Hi everyone.
I've been reading all over the internet and havent really gotten a specific answer to this.
Just wondering that if I OC my fx6300 to 4.5ghz, will the 212 evo be enough to cool it to safe temperatures?
I'll probs buy it from here because I have to go there to sign some docs soon:

Any input would be appreciated

Yes you can as long as you stay under 60c easy as adjust the voltage and the multiplier to get to 4.5

the hyper 212 evo is so cheap though...
will it hold under 60C under load with it at that speed?

what motherboard are you going to be using also that is a factor in this

and also just put some good fans on that heatsink and make sure you have good airflow in the case and you should be able to get 4.5 pretty easy

I installed two chassis fans. And im using an ASRock 980DE3-U3S3. and i didnt know you could get better fans on heatsinks.... can I put two onto that or do i replace the one with it?

some of the best fans are http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00632FL8A/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1S17NF4Z68V59PEM5XDR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846 they are a little pricey but they are super quiet so you can run them full speed and you wouldnt even hear it and http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/283214-29-temp-difference-noctua-hyper he had a drop of 10c under load with these fans. i use two of these fans with my H60 and i never touch 50c underload when im overclocked

Well i had my FX 6300 in an ASUS M5A97 r 2.0 4+2 power phase board. My EVO got me to stable 4.6 Ghz and i matched an 8320 at stock. The ASUS VRMs are very good quality they never got too hot. Im now running an 8320 in an M5A99FX PRO OC'd to 4.0 with turbo enabled and power consumption states enabled too (1400 Mhz idle, 3.7, then 4.0 under full load). Works well but i feel the hit in single core performance makes me miss my 6300 😛

I have the same mother and Chip and i use a H60 and pretty much the same and im going to be running a 8320 on there till i get a little saved up

you will be running an 8320 on which board the 970 or the 990fx?

 

[zachparr2442]

M5a97 r2.0

Yeah an 8320 on the 4+2 power phase will get you around 4.3 Ghz. That 970 board is surprisingly good. i have 6+2 power phase with my new board (8320+M5A99FX PRO) and it idles cooler but ive yet to master overclocking on it, like i did with the FX 6300 + m5a97

The Digi + controls are daunting on this thing, but my thermals have been mostly bad in my overclock attempts. i havent put more than an hour into it yet though (recent upgrade)

In short, dunno! I haven't so far but still trying! I have however, accidentally discovered that you can manually set both the Core Multiplier and the Turbo multiplier individually. The reason I discovered this is due to installing new PC2133mhz RAM which made my system fall over if I tried ANY OCing whatsoever! So I've set the base frequency to 3.8ghz from stock 3.5ghz and the Turbo frequency to 4.3ghz from the stock 4.1Ghz and interestingly my machine now runs stable with the dodgy RAM at its 2133mhz stock speed. I'm sure it would go far further with this method if I were to downgrade to PC1333 RAM!
