Got your pm/video mate - however ll post on here in case anyone with the same combo needs this information

I know you have decent cooling etc so we'll sraight balls out go for a 4ghz clock which is easily on any fx6300 in my experience

boot into bios

goto advanced tab
jumper free configuration
change cpu overclocking to MANUAL
change cpu ratio to x20.00 4000mhz
change AMD Turbo Core to DISABLED

thats it ,leave everything else alone,the bios has awful voltage control options & I would leave well alone - exit bios saving changes

boot into windows

download these 3 utilities - they are the best around imo for stress testing & monitoring

intel burntest (far far better as a stress tester than...
^ should leave cool & quiet enabled & use msr tweaker on startup.

Still downcloxks then under idle loads but maintains full clocks at heavy load.

You are absolutely right though , I've managed to hit clocks of 4.8ghz at 1.46v & still temps of under 60c under load (I don't think the little ol tx3 would manage well at that though)

 
guys help i just have 1 question, i also have that processor, fx 6300 i was wondering if i can push it the same speed as him?- my motherboard is - msi 760gm p-23 , i went into the bios and adjust the voltage, but i can't increase it past 1.4000v or should i say past 1.4v , what will i do to make it 1.45v - 1.5v?
