correct me if im wrong

[caracol101]

wellp im going to overclock my processor to 4.5 ghz

fx6300
m5a97 evo r2.0
2x4gb ram 1333mhz

so im just going to post what im planning to do and id like you to say if its right or not, im just too scared to screw my pc. i think i should start with 4.2ghz and 1,38v and keep adding 100mhz until it fails. i dont want to oc the ram

AI overclock tuner - manual
CPU ratio - 21
AMD turbo core - disabled
cpu bus frequency - 200
PCIE frequency - auto
[all the nb and ram stuff] - auto
CPU spread spectrum - disabled
PCIe spread spectrum - disabled
CPU power saving mode- disabled
DIGI power control ---------->
-LLC - should i set it to high or very high ???
-CPU/NB load line calibration - auto or high (????)
-CPU current capability - auto (????)
-CPU/NB current capability - auto (????)
-everything else on default

CPU & NB voltage - manual
CPU manual voltage - 1.38 (????)
everything else on default

ADVANCED CPU OPTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cool n quiet - disabled (for testing) / disabled by cpu (when its done) (????)
C1E - enabled (????)
SVM - disabled (????)
core c6 state- enabled (????)
HPC mode - enabled (????)
APM master mode- auto (????)

(????) means i really dont know what should i do, and im really doubting about the advanced features so id like you guys to help me and explain why should i turn hpc on or set apm to auto or not, etc. it took me some time to write this but anyways if you want to change something in the config just copy and paste with your settings, also here you can see how my cpu runs at stock clock under prime95: http://i.imgur.com/6o5OKY1.jpg?1

First visit jay2cents on youtube for overclocking AMD CPU`s.
Then determined your highest clockspeed and start by adding small increments. i.e. highest clockspeed = 4.0 + 1 = 4.1.

That`s it for now, get back if your components burned. Joke it will not burn. Go try it.

but if something goes wrong will i be able to reset the bios config to use the default one? i did that with an asrock low end mobo and my games would still lag like hell

Yes, if you will be wrong (which I assume you will) you can go to bios and set the default.

i watched the video but he's overclocking an fx 8350, i have a doubt and id like to know if i can apply those settings he has (except the bus speed and the voltage ofc) to my fx 6300 with the mobo i have, and how should i set up these?

-LLC - high?
-CPU/NB load line calibration - high?
-CPU current capability - 130%?
-CPU/NB current capability - 130%?

There's no reason to be afraid of irreparably damaging your PC by overclocking, just start off slowly and make small changes, and make sure your system is stable after each change. Don't play with the voltage unless you're sure of what you're doing. Remember that the components themselves have safety features like temperature checks built into them, and will shut down automatically before any damage can occur. The worst case scenario will probably be your system refusing to boot, which can be fixed by going back to the default BIOS settings by resetting the CMOS (Google it for instructions).

The best way to start would be to simply Google "how to overclock fx6300", there should be more than enough tutorials on the subject.

but im afraid i wont achieve a stable overclock and will have to go back to default settings... and im afraid it will lag on those, my games are running fine now but what if i change something then go reset bios and they will stutter?

Are you sure you want to overclock? If your games are running fine now, there's no reason to overclock other than just for the sake of it.

i overclocked it already, but see this thread since i explain my experience on it http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2294864/6300-5ghz-overclock.html
