FX-6300 not turboing

[Frankieanime158]

Not sure why it's doing this, but it'll turbo to 4.2 when I'm on the desktop or chrome just fine.

But as soon as I hop in a game, or run Cinebench or anything game related it won't go passed

3.8. It can't be temps because I have an H60, and CPU only goes to about 54c max when I'm

running stress tests with a 38c summer ambient temperature. 

I had it overclocked to 4.5, but for some reason it spiked up to 71c, so I just reset it to defaults.

Turbo is on and everything's normal. It just doesn't seem to turbo in game. Very frustrating since

that 400mhz is quite a bit to miss out on.

Ideas?

Perhaps AMD is crippling their CPU's to "encourage" adoption rates...

 

Have you tried any benchmarks? Do you use V-Sync?

Just don't bother with TurboCore at all, it's usually best if turned off when overclocking.

No, I never use V-Sync. And yea it turbos fine in things like firestrike, passmark etc, but not Cinebench or games

I disabled my overclock, I'm not trying to overclock right now. I might give it a go again in a couple weeks.

So until then, I just reset to default and was just going to rely on the turbo. But the only time it won't turbo

to 4.2 is in games, which is ridiculous.

Yeah TurboCore is pretty much useless, It caused freezing problems for me and spiked voltage to 1.47V for 3.5-4GHZ...

Just disable it and keep it at the full 4.5GHZ.

Just disable turbo and overclock the speed to 4.2. If the chip can turbo to 4.2 on that voltage and keep reasonable temps, it can do that as a base clock.

Ah okay, sucks it's not reliable.

And okay, I wanna put it back to 4.5, but the temps worried me. I use HWmonitor for checking temps. There's 2

options, so I'm not sure what's the correct CPU temp and what's socket.

Under temperatures it says CPU, and Mainboard. CPU on this one would hit 61c under max load.

But there's another under the CPU name saying Temperature > package 71c. Not sure if that's safe or even normal.

Oh okay, yea I might do that. Temps are fine at 4.2. Should I just raise the multiplier and leave the voltage at auto? Or should I just manually set it to 1.4?

I wouldn't really worry much with a 6300 on that cooler and board, considering 6300 is okay up to 70C..

You should be worried more about CPU over Package..

If the base voltage is normally 1.4, I would manually set it that way so it doesn't decide to lower the voltage and crash itself.

[Frankieanime158]

Oh okay. So the first temperature that says CPU, that's the temperature I should keep an eye on?

What's the one underneath the actual CPU name then?

Yeaup, when it actually turbos, the voltage at max 1.404. So alright thank you

I'd just make sure to keep it under 70C for Package temp, and 64C for CPU temp displaying under the board board.

Turbo on AMD FX lines is only for 1 core, when using multi threaded cores Turbo wont trigger and stay off. so your best bet is to give a moderate overclock. 

[Frankieanime158]

Ooh okay, that makes sense. 

Thanks for the info guys, I'll just overclock again and forget about turbo.

Thanks [:
