Help on overclocking of my CPU

[Alaa945]

Hello, i have CPU AMD FX 6300 installed with stock cooler
MB ASUS M5A79 R2

The temp of the CPU reaching 54 c. While playing battlefield 4 ultra high and room temp is 26 c.

I want to overclock my cpu can be by this fan? If not, which fan can i buy?
I found this one ( cooler master hyper 212 evo or N 520 ) are these good enough or there is better?

Finally how can I do overclocking? What is the steps for this motherboard?

Thanks

1) Never overclock with stock cooler. The hyper 212 is a great cooler. I have one for mi intel i5 4570 and it is great for the money and is good for moderate OCing.

2) In ASUS motherboards, the way to overclock is very easy. First, enter the BIOS by pressing DEL on startup. Afterwards, the settings for clock speeds should be immediately in front of you, or in easy sight.

Here is a good overclocking guide.

Thanks for this nice guide.
Regarding coller which one is better hyper 212 N520 or evo? Or they give same results.

The Hyper 212 evo is better. It has a bigger 120mm fan, instead of 92mm from the N520. So, it will be quieter (mine is) and more effective.

Good, now regarding power supply I have gigabyte power 500W i bougt it new with my PC, can I add another ASUS HD 7790 as crossfire? And also will overclock my cpu?

500W is just enough for the one card. You might want to upgrade to atleast a 750W if your gonna do Crossfire due to its high power usage.
Corsair has good PSU's. Just make sure they have enough connectors for 2 cards.
