[Paddy Davison]

Hi
Have a fx6300 ,Gigabyte 970A-DS3P , cx750 psu, a basic set of Kingston ram 1x8gb and a r9280x. And the 6300 is bottlenecking the gpu so I need overclock would it be possible to oc with a dark rock3 from be quiet?
Thank you

Probably around 4,5 Ghz, but adding second ram stick will give additional around 5-10% more CPU performance Dual channel mode.
Add small fan to cool down VRM heatsink on mobo and you ready for OC
And be sure you have good case ventilation

Hi
Could you send me a link to one or could I use part of the stock CPU fan?
Thank you

 

[DeathRabit]

Fan from Stock CPU Cooler will be enough to keep cooled you VRM

 

[Paddy Davison]

How would I attach it?

 

[DeathRabit]

Try mount it to case and direct air on VRM * copper wire will be ok.
