Overclocking FX-6300

[MohammedAlattia]

i saw few videos that say i can overclock  FX 6300 to 4.2ghz at stock voltage(1.384V). is that correct ?

if no, what voltage do i need ?

We have no idea. It really depends on your chip. What motherboard do you have?

My FX6300 was able to go to 4.6GHz on 1.41 volts stable on a Cooler Master Seidon 120v. It all depends on the chip you get

Out of curiosity what are your temps, for heavy load mainly ?

For me when I streamed and played a game my max temp was like 50C-55C

No stress testing ?

Yeah  I've stressed it before. I did 3D-Mark and during those tests it never went past 60C

First of all you need to tell us what motherboard you have (and what cooler as well). To answer one of your questions, the one regarding the 4.2 Ghz overclock, it depends on each person's luck, some draw less power to overclock some draw more.

I dont own the pc yet, but im buying the half parts from micro center, and the other half(not in micro center) from amazon as soon as i get home today from school.

I will be buying the MSI 970 Gaming atx Motherboard

I have good knowledge about overclocking and pc parts PCs and im a gamer.

but for the past years I've been gaming on a laptop, which is not useful for me anymore.

its the time i decided to build a gaming tower and show it off

Do yourself a favor and get an intel CPU.

intel cpus are out of my budget. Also, I saw benchmarks of the combo im getting, FX 6300 + MSI R9 380 4G it serves my needs  im not a hardcore gamer.

The FX6300 is a fair CPU. Will it break benchmark scores? No but it'll give you a solid gaming experience. I've had that CPU before and it worked well for me

Yep, I can confirm that I personally achieved 4.2Ghz on a MSI 970 gaming motherboard with stock cooler and stock voltage. I stressed it and STABLE!

 

Dont listen to @Alexokan on this one, Although Intel CPUS are good, this CPU is more than enough for gaming and almost anything you throw at it. Certain you wont regret it.

The only games (that I know of) that have downfall is ARMA, DayZ, and H1Z1.

It would've been better if you went with an i3 but oh well.
