There are some things I don't understand about the FX 6300 stock settings vs oveclocking.
First off, from reading other forum posts, I see some people reporting stock v core between 1.25 and 1.3v. My understanding is that within the same model CPU's, there can be variances, but would these numbers be close? Would it be possible to have different v cores on the same CPU at stock settings?
Second is a question re stock speed vs OC'ing. For example if the Turbo kicks in and consistently brings it to say 3.9 or 4.0 Ghz, is there a difference performance wise between that and OC'ing to that 3.9 or 4.0 speed? I don't understand this correctly in theory. I see people OC'ing to anything say roughly 3.8 or 3.9 and up (depending on stability). If the processor can achieve that through Turbo, what's the advantage, if any to the OC? I could see it if you OC above whatever you consistently achieve through Turbo. If I use extreme calc to calculate a modest OC to 3.9, by increasing v core, it correctly shows a subsequent increase in draw of power (wattage). Would this same increase in draw of power occur when just Turbo (with no OC) kicks in? If I again use extreme calc to calculate an OC using the same voltage (multiplier alone) to say 3.9 or 4.0, it again shows an increase in draw of power. I'm confused by that, or is it just an anomaly with the calc?
If you could shed some light on that for me, or direct me to a guide or explanation that explains those points, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
