Overclocking FX6300 to 4.1Ghz

Steeler1994 · Apr 25, 2014

I just want a safe overclock to 4.1ghz. My motherboard is the asus m5a97 r2.0. I want to overclock, but never have. I've read up that you just turn off turbo, set the multiplier to 20.5, and leave voltages on auto. After that, run Prime95 on blend for hours. Is there anything else i should enable to disable in the bios?

You will have AMD software installed that will help you overclock

AMD feature manager

a few clicks of your mouse and it will raise the multiplier until it detects too much heat .
Then it will give you the option to select any speed up to the maximum safe speed

I thought that software that overclock is bad for stability?

its ideal for maintaining stability

Be aware that the m5a97 r2.0 is not a good overclocker board due to its limited power handling VRM configuration. When you start to push it, that board will be the first thing to melt.

Be aware that the ASUS M5A97 R2.0 is an excellent overclocker . Probably the best of the motherboards that use the 970 series chipset . It has 4+ 2 power phases which is considered by some to be weaker than ideal for overclocking, but its under a badass heatsink and digital control of voltage output so will run all day long with a FX6300 at 4.8 GHz and not even get hot

There is a cut down budget board called the M5A97 LE . And that one you do not want

That was the one I was thinking of ><

Should i just use the multiplier or a mixture of both FSB and multiplier?

I've been watching this video. He has the same MB and processor. Will it hurt to try this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uXysmgPi8

Just use the multiplier

Thats how the AMD software will work , The OC you want is not a challenge

Outlander_04 · Apr 26, 2014

You wont need to make any of the changes suggested in the video

AMD feature manager will do it all for you

Steeler1994 · Apr 26, 2014

How do i get the software? I'm looking and can't find it.

It shoud have been part of the install of your motherboard drivers .

Maybe called AMD all in one driver
