my fx 6300 does not hit its max turbo of 4,1Ghz it only goes up to 3,817 while gaming and the temps are only 47C max . is it not using its full potential and and would i be abel to OC it if it is?
 
Solution
That board is solid. You should be able to hit 4.1 GHz across all cores easily, even on the stock cooler. If the chip gets higher than ~60C, however, I would recommend toning it down a bit.
