Overclocking fx 6300

[PcmanX1]

So I overclock the fx 6300 to 4.0 ghz from 3.5 ghz just by using stock voltage settings. I tested using prime 95 for 30 minutes and the tests passed.

Is it safe to just use stock voltage for 4.0 ghz?

You can't damage ANYTHING by having a too low voltage, at worst, it'll not run. Overvolting on the other hand, can in a matter of nano seconds, fry the device.
If it runs, it runs, if it does not, it does not.

yeah it's fine, i would stress test it for 8 hours just to make sure it's completely stable and that it doesn't need a voltage increase imo

What happened when it isn't stable?

the temperates will be high, above 65 degres in the 70 range, and it will crash crash crash all the time.

I thought lower voltage means lower temperature?

in general it does but you are increasing the multiplier and making the processor work harder which does increase temperature also. there 2 ways to increase tempaerature, increaseing the voltage and increasing the multiplier which makes the processor work harder.
