Maximum overclock possible?

[John_207]

Hey everyone,

So I love ramping every possible but of power out of a CPU, so I am looking for people who have these parts to help out.

I have an FX 6300 and a GA 78LMT USB3 motherboard (newset revision with heatsink)

My question is this: what do you think the maximum overclock I can achieve on this mother board is, motherboard temp wise and not cpu? I should add I have 6 120mm case fans so there is a ton of airflow in there.

Thanks

impossible to answer. Silicone Lottery. its a crapshoot. you will have to be the one to tell us after you acheive maximum OC.
We can help you find out, but any answer given will in all likelyhood be wrong.

Not much on that MB, 4+1 power section doesn't let you push too far. Another limiting factor would be stock CPU cooler.
As far as MB cooling, you'd better off placing small fans on NB and VRM instead of filling up the case with fans.
