my fx 6300 core voltage is 1.35 and idle my computer is usually 35-40C on stock cooler. Can i undervolt to 1.3 without causing problems? Would I see any temperature drops?

are you saying i can't undervolt on stock speeds or that i won't see any temperature drops?

i actually have no idea because the only times i can get a good temp reading is when im in the bios. Core temp reads unusually low temperatures.

If you are going to undervolt, I would recommend try 1.32V first, if that works, drop it to 1.30V, if that works drop it to 1.28V, etc. Until it won't post anymore...then go back to the last setting that worked and run prime95 for a few hours to make sure you have no errors. If you get an error in prime95 go back up another notch to the one before that one...
