Questions about overclocking my AMD FX-6300

[Ivan1996Srb]

I have a question about overclocking my CPU from 3,5 to 4,0Ghz
I´ve multiplied it by 20 and put CPU Voltage +0.030000 , but i dont know should i add something on CPU-NB Voltage , or something else.
Thank you.

My Spec are :
PSU - Cooler Master MWE 500
MB - MSI 970 Gaming
Ram - 2x 4 GB Patriot
CPU - AMD FX-6300 (Black Box)
GPU - AMD Gigabayte R9 380x 4gb g1 Gaming Edition
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master T4

Is it stable with that increase?

Is it stable with that increase?

It is not. Runed prime95 and 6th core crashed , so i changed CPU Voltage from +0.030000 to +0.040000 and runed prime95 for like 10minutes evrythings fine, 55-56c Temp.
Is that okay or?
(I also have case fan)

Depending on what the vcore was before those increases, yes. AMD has a recommended 1.5v max for vcore. I've run FX-xx00 processors at 1.5v quite a bit with no ill effects.

Before increases CPU Voltage was 0.960v , CPU-NB Voltage 1.176 [Auto] , CPU NB Voltage 1.488 [Auto]
So is there more i should change or i just "Fixed" it by increasing the Voltage from 0.030000 to 0.040000?

 

[clutchc]

Don't go by what the increase is. Always go by what the final vcore actually ends up being. You probably just need to give it more voltage. Increase the vcore an increment at a time until it is stable. But consider 1.5v the recommended max unless you want to do more at your own risk.

Here are my results after trying diffrent voltages:
I ended up with 4,20Ghz.
Added +0.160000 V to CPU Voltage || ( CPU Voltage 1.368V [+0.170000] ) ||
Stressed with prime for about an hour :
Temp. Around 60-62c
The rest can be seen on picture below

So my Final question is...Is the Temp. fine? and am i done with overclocking is that it or?

 

[clutchc]

Yes, the temp of 62C (peak) is fine. And 4.2GHz is a good OC for the FX-6300. But you may be able to go higher. 4.1GHz is the turbo speed (albeit with one module). But as long as you can keep the peak temp under 70C and the vcore 1.5v or less while maintaining stability, you may want to try for more.

But I worry a bit about the PSU if you take it too high. The R9-380X is already pressing that PSU you have. Its 456W (+12v) rail has to be close to capacity when both CPU and GPU are maxed out.

What PSU would you recommend? (budget 100-120€)

Where can you shop. I'm in the US and not familiar with prices in Europe. Here is a high quality Seasonic 650W Gold for 80 bucks US. Check the price on your end.

But none of them offers sesonic , most of them are crap...

4.2 tends to be a breaking point on voltages on most fx chips.

As in anyhing higher tends to need a big jump in voltage & performance wise it's not really worth it.

4.2ghz at 1.37v ?? Decent result , personally I'd stick there, you're at a point where that 380x will hold back gaming performance more than the cpu now.

I have no idea how to relate those prices to USD or Euros. But this budget Antec has the specs for your system.
