Overclocking an AMD FX-6100 cpu on gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2p motherboard!

[Rujdaga]

Hey guys, im wondering, whats the best overclock i can get on fx 6100 on gigabyte ga-78lmt-s2p motherboard? the cooler that i have is pretty good, on idle temps its like 18-19 degrees, on 100% usage all cores its like 43-44 degrees (celsius). Whats the best and most stable overclock that i can get on this cpu and motherboard where i can see the difference and do yall recommend overclocking?

Honestly, I would not try overclocking on that motherboard. It has pretty weak VRM with no cooling at all. I mean you can try raising your clocks on the stock voltage but thats about it.

Yeah, whats the best u can recommend?

Honestly I don't know, I would probably start raising the cpu clock slowly, then stress test it for a short while and if its stable, then increase the clock.

No one can tell you the best OC for your CPU, You could take 20 of the same CPU's and they'll likely all overclock differently to each other. Just do as @Mixzzz said, keep the voltages stock and raise the core clock slowly, running a stress test after each increase, until it becomes unstable.

Is cpuz stress good for that?

Whats the best way to check if the oc is stable? For now im on 3.7ghz cuz 3.8 crashed

You could at least try if you have a good airflow. I got the same motherboard and cpu, did a slight overclock from 3,3Ghz to 3,7 Ghz stable without changing voltages and with the stock cooler. Only got problems when i raised it to 3,8 Ghz but i think that it is because im using a not graded psu that costed like 20 bucks.

 

Then changed the cooler to a Hyper T4, it does not sends a good airflow to the vrms but i still don't have any problem with them, so it's up to you. Also keep in mind that the highest clock possible to the fx-6100 is 3,9 Ghz

Nice thread necro - I seriously doubt it's an issue of any kind by now.
This one probrably just needs to be locked so it stays in the grave.
