AMD FX 6300 Overclock

First of all, I am really enjoying the LTT community. All of the people I've met were decent people and very helpful.

Thanks.

 

Now for the main part, I built my PC about 2 weeks ago, and I have been trying to overclock the CPU (AMD FX 6300). I've been trying over and over for maybe 10 to 15 times, and the thing just won't boot. I'm just glad my motherboard can tell when an overclock failed. I've followed this guide (and yes, I have an Asus M5A78L-M USB3 motherboard), but nothing worked. I just get a blackscreen, and the thing doesn't boot. When I press the power button again and mash delete to enter the BIOS, the thing sees that it was a failed overclock. If anyone can help me, I have a skype but no mic so yeah. 

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

760G chipset isn't really built with OC in mind.

1st, thanks for the almost instant reply.

2nd, I have a GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW and a Thermaltake TR2 430 watt, but I have an EVGA 600w laying around

I actually managed to get my FX6100 to 4.1GHz without a higher Vcore :D but also with a MSI Gaming 970 which should handle this tiny OC very well...

There is also a difference in every Chip. Some are good for OC some aren't. If you cant get higher with your OC try to increase the Vcore but just a tiny bit and watch the Temperature of you CPU since it will raise after a higher voltage ;)

I started off with 1 "notch" (like +0.005v or something) and repeated that until I got up to 1.075 and it was still the same result

If the temperature stays under ~60°C its fine and you can increase it even more :)

It didn't work. went up all the way to 1.05625v at a 3.6ghz config but it still wouldn't boot

(that was still with the 3.7ghz config, but I lowered it down to 3.6)

You can try and raise the NB-Rotio like in my "Screenshot" to 12 to stable the OC a bit but if that doesent help I cant give any more advise :/

Dont be confused by my high Vcore thats normal for the old FX6100 :D

It worked!

I upped the NB clock to 2200mhz and set the overvolt to auto and it booted right up!

Thanks! It is right around ambient at idle (20C) whereas before it was like 5C below, so 15C. Im stressing it with intel burn test now.

Thats right :) with that Vcore it should easily stay under 60°C
