FX-6300 At 4.7Ghz?

[Nova Dwagon]

I recently did amd auto-tune to see what it could do, and got 4700 Mhz (4.7Ghz)

Not sure if this is correct seems abit... Too much for AMD side according to every one

FX-6300 Hex core

Baseclock 3.5Ghz - 4.0Ghz (Websites say)

4.7 is doable, whats your voltage and temps? I can hit 4.8 but it taxes my cooling

[tp95112]

Check what voltage its running. I have mines at 4.5 and I know there is someone else on the forum with 4.8 or 5. Cant remember there name

[Aniallation]

If you did decently well on the chip lottery then 4.7 is definitely reasonable, but honestly I wouldn't do that auto-overclock stuff. It generally increases voltage to very high levels (reducing lifespan for motherboard as well as CPU)

[clementk]

I never trust Auto tunes when i had a x4 965 Black edition the Dam Auto tune OC'ed it to 4.5Ghz on stock cooler ... windows booted but could not do anything without it failling

[Nova Dwagon]

CPU Clock: 4700 Mhz
CPU Multiplier: 23.5X
CPU Voltage: 1.5375 V

I'm going to overclock mine once I get a new cooler, these stock AMD coolers sound like an engine

Ha ha I agree!

I am running a Coolermaster Evo cooler with 2 120mm fans

It just OC'ed my x4 965 Black Edition to 4Ghz but then I'm also using an aftermarket cooler.

AMD Auto tune reccomended 4.7ghz? Holy crap. In my experience AMD autotune would give me the tiniest overclock imaginable. My FX-6300 at 4.3ghz handles most big games perfectly, so 4.7ghz seems overkill to me. But 4.7 is doable on that CPU and you may have other uses for the extra speed. People say the max 24/7 voltage you should have on these CPUs is around 1.475 VCore so I wouldn't even go above that since it can instantly burn out the CPU if you overvolt. I'm not really a seasoned overclocker though

Oh man, How is that cooler!? I was just about to pick it up this weekend... worth the money?

1.5375V is quite high. I strongly suggest you be careful with that high of a voltage.

I don't think the CPU Cooler AND the 4+2 Power phase can handle the heat 1.5375V outputs.

 

For reference, I'm using 1.45V with my FX-8350 @ 4.9GHz, and it runs quite warm with my Thermaltake Frio w/ CoolerMaster JetFlo fans in push-pull.

 

Your chip could probably reach 4.7GHz, but please dial the settings into the BIOS manually, and use only as much voltage as required to keep the CPU overclock stable, and WITHIN safe operating temperatures under heavy system load.

[miagisan]

1.5375v is VERY high....i would not run a chip on that high of voltage

[Nova Dwagon]

Right i have lowered the voltage to 1.45V and still getting 4.7Ghz

CPU temps are 51*C instead of the normal 25*C it normally runs at under full load at 3.5Ghz

EDIT: running a cooler master hype 212 EVO heatsink with 2 120mm fans and an open wall mounted case

Temps are 51 instead of 25? Typo?

If your temps where 25C while stock you must be living in the north pole, since the CPU temps can never be lower than the ambient ones. Unless your room temperature is like 13-14C, getting 25C is not possible, especially with that tiny cooler. Most AMD boards have broken temps sensors and usually show remarkably low temperatures, which are unrealistic.

 

Furthermore, you didn't tell us what board you have as well. If it is anything else than 990FX chipset board, I wouldn't overclock up to 4.7GHz unless I was trying to get that board fried. There are so many people who destroyed the power delivery on their cheaper boards because of stuff like this so be aware. 

[GoodN1ght]

Yeah 1.53 is insane. You should try toning it down.

As for 25C I get that on my 4790K at idle...

in the same 13-14 ambient I had like 45 degree max temps at stock

Yes some words that I rarely use I cannot spell "51C when it should be 25C"

25C under load with Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo cooler

2x 120mm fans

No Case! motherboard is mounted to the wall, Yes its crazy but temps are insane and cats fur + dust dose not get up there

I live in UK so room temp is normally 20-24C

Had a case on the floor and inside got all furry in about a week, even with dust filters every where and running a high pressure fan setup.

And my board is in the little description thingy of my build: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard

I Just surprised it clocked to 4.7Ghz on 1.45V even though i turned it down to a 4.1Ghz as I don't need it dieing on me within a few months

[Nova Dwagon]

This is her and this is why i get insane temps

Only danger is people touching it

People may view me as a newbie, but to be truthful I am crazy, she has been like this for 7 months now

Sooo, yeah, Sorry to disappoint you, but your motherboard's temp sensors are completely wrong. It is impossible to run under full load and be only a degree higher than the ambient room temp, especially on that budget cooler.

Yeah this is what I been saying, that and temp sensors are awful below 40*C or something

 

But its roughly 10*C out ether way which is still not bad

Regarding this issue, I have noted that on some boards AMD Overdrive bypasses this issue and actually gives accurate temps. Just make sure to look at the Board Status and there the processor as a package and not the CPU tile, because there are the wrong temps again. It's worth giving it a try.

Well to the touch its cold after 9h of use its still cold at the base of the heater so if its cold at the heat pipes it must be 30*C or lower

This is was at 3.5Ghz not 4.7Ghz that hits 53*C

Then it is a bit more realistic, but you can try with AMD Overdrive if you want just to make sure your temps are fine.
