Hey guys! do you think it is safe to try to overclock my AMD FX 6300 while having these components?


Motherboard: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 [ 980DE3/U3S3 ]

Case: Segotep SG-Z2

Processor's cooler: ZEROtherm BTF90

I researched about Overclocking but I can't find an answer for this question that I asked . I know you usually need stronger coolers and different cases sometimes to make it easier for it to cool.

I wouldn't go for anything crazy. Maybe an extra 200 MHz or so. You have an older chipset motherboard and it has naked vrms and a 4+1 power phase delivery system. 4 phases with naked vrms isn't a great thing. You would benefit greatly from a fan hanging over the left of the CPU (where the vrms are). If not for the sake of staying in proper temps do it for the longevity of your system .

The AUX one jumps from 30 to 120 to 90 to 135 to 50 and so on .

I'm not familiar with SpeedFan, not sure what the AUX relates to.
OCing should be safe, but you should stress test on stock settings and see what your max temps are before proceeding. I'm not an expert with AMD OCing so I'm not the best person to guide you on this as I don't know good apps for reading temps, stress testing for AMD chips.

Thanks for trying to help anyway :) I'm still researching atm but I would still feel safer if someone could tell me if there's an issue with the components I have and overclocking, you know :D just to be sure
