fx-6300 settings for overclock? help

[adamsjus1]

So this weekend I am going to help my friend strap on a hyper 212 evo to his cpu and overclock it a bit. 

 

I just wanted to know what kind of settings people are putting in and what their results are. Thanks!

entirely depends on the motherboard.

Entirely? Nope

I have my chip at a 4.0ghz with 1.3v and a 20 multiplier. I can go up to 4.3ghz comfortably, except that I had a weird issue with HWMonitor and CPU-Z. Otherwise it was stable. I am on a Hyper 212+ and the ASUS M5A97 R2.0.

What motherboard do they have?

 

Pretty much though:

• Disable APM
• Set LLC to highest setting ("performance mode")
• set voltage to manual and leave it at stock(for starting)
• Raise multiplier until unstable(or until you hit the temperature limit).

I might be missing a few things, I am watching the WAN Show lol

[Kyuubixchidori]

Entirely? Nope

for the settings? its all going to be influenced by the mobo. yes the chip has some impact, but I wont be able to tell him the ceiling of his chip without actually testing it. If he told us what mobo his buddy has, we would be able to help MUCH more. Most people dont think of that, so wanted to point it. out. 

 

or, instead of just a nope, could give him some help!

This.

 

I also want to add that under load (Playing games) I've not seen it go above 53'C or so, and my idle temps are 20-30C. (daytime 30C, nighttime 20C.)

I dont have a 6300 so I can be of no help.

Also the settings depend on the silicon, PSU also. The mobo is only responsible for the Power Phases in these processors

mobo determines the bios, which will determine what settings he can/should change. Yeah, techincally other things influence, but they are now out of his control. 

 

and i do!

Thats not what I asked at all. I was just wanting to know what other people have gotten with the 6300. Like what voltage you had it set to and what speed you had it at. I know it all depends on the chip.

I know how to overclock. Thats not what I was asking for. I am just asking on what other people have gotten so I can tell how good the overclock would be relative to other people.

ah, was thinking you wanted to know what settings.

 

4.6 ghz on a hyper 212, I dunno remeber what the voltage was. hottest it got was 55-58*C

[sgloux3470]

Keep voltage at 1.4 V or lower.  Probably safer with 1.35-1.38.

 

I think you could likely push it to 4.4-4.5 GHz without too much hassle.

 

I'm more familiar with the 8core variants unfortunately.

The stock voltage for its turbo is at 1.425 V

 

The lower core processors have a higher voltage i think than the 8 cores.

I got a 6300 Prime95 stable at 4.5Ghz without too much of a problem but you will need to play around with it to see what your CPU will require and what the temps look like.

Turbo is different.

 

You can get a very good overclock with less voltage.

Turbo should be off when OC'ing an FX chip. So should cool & quiet and any other features. When you get a stable OC you can start enabling those things.

Read this. Great guide with great info. http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard

[adamsjus1]

Didn't get what I asked for.

 

Sorry if I was unclear

[GrantSor+1]

I achieved 4.1Ghz on Stock voltage
I believe that I have a good chip but sadly I dont know how to add voltage in my mobo
1.) Manually Typing the voltage does not work
2.) Its a +.05 Increment addition But I dont know the stock voltage of the CPU, I get incorrect readings. On the bios it says 1.472 stock voltage lol

[dandrix]

Each CPU is different, what works for one, couldnt work on another, you need to tweak and experiment for yourself.

[sgloux3470]

An easy way to compare would be to search 3dmark for FX 6300 systems and see what people are running it at.
