i have an fx 6300
I want it to go to 4.1ghz but when i have turbo on it doesnt go past 3.8.

So i manually oc it to 4.1 ghz but when i shut down it doesnt fully shut down
The monitor will go black but the lights on the pc will remain on. So i used oc tuner that i got with my mobo and if i do any time of cpu ajustments with it it makes my fps so unstable, i went from 17.5 multiplier to 18, i even lowered the clock speed to 3ghz, i messed with voltages a bit, but just touching oc tuner destroyed my frames in planetside 2. Why doesnt turbo go to 4.1ghz, why cant i shut down after oc, and why does fps go to crap with oc tuner

The asrock 960gc is not even suitable to run the CPU at stock clocks. My advise would be to revert to stock settings, disable turbo, and check CPU VID after a reboot to see if it's worth pushing for an under-volt. Then pray your motherboard hasn't sustained any damage from your overclocking attempts.

The asrock 960gc has 3-phase VRMs with a very few mosfets in place to power the CPU. Most entry level 1150 socket boards have more robust power regulation than this for CPUs that run on even less power. I'm not joking when I say that the asrock 960gc is a disaster waiting to happen if you keep trying to overclock.

While the FX6300 is in general a good chip to overclock, not all of them want to go to 4.5 GHz. Your 6300 may not want to overclock, and this is why your system is not shutting down and you are experiencing these issues.

Some questions: motherboard? OC setting including voltage used?

I would go back to stock speeds to reestablish stability at this point before trying this again.

I reset everything and turned turbo on, it still wont go higher than 3.8ghz. i want it to go to 4.1ghz.
My motherboard is a asrock 960gc and on the oc i just made the multiplier to 20.5 and the fsb is 200mhz. I tried turning up the voltage a tad bit but did no good.

The CPU core temp is not what we're concerned with here. The motherboard temps are.


Nope.
If you need a microATX form factor board for overclocking, there's only one that's any good at it, and that's the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3. If you have room for an ATX board the GA-970A-UD3P is the best in class.



Just leave the CPU overclocking alone and replace the GPU then. You can run your FX-6300 on the board you have as long as you keep the power requirements of the chip low, which you have already aided by reverting to 3.5ghz and under-volting... Some of these FX-6300's will run stock clocks with 1.20V or less at stock clocks, which will cut their peak power dissipation to the neighborhood of ~75-85W. Obviously with any overclocking or undervolting, it's always a good idea to backup important files and do stability testing to ensure that you're not running a system that will produce corrupted files.
