FX-6300 up to 4,5 GHz, maybe 5,0 GHz.

Hallo guys!

I would like to overclock my FX-6300 as much as possible. My mobo is ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0, PSU is Cooler Master B600W and CPU Cooling is Zalman CNPS10X Optima.

Can you tell me exactly what settings to change in the BIOS, what voltage, how far can I go.

Not far on that motherboard and PSU. They just don't have the power capabilities.

Ok I understand, so what PSU and MOBO would you recommend? Maybe Corsair AX760i and ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0?

Well I must say these motherboards and psu aren't so expensive. But would I get the most out of them? I also should change my CPU cooling.

^^ Those are the budget overclocker boards. The next tier of good motherboards are these:

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0

Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0



The PSUs are actually really good.

Your Zalman should handle the cooling pretty well.

Between this ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0 and this ASUS M5A97 R2.0 is only 10 euro difference.

Thanks for all the help buddy.
