How do I check if my AMD FX6300 CPU is over clocked?

HeIpMePlease · Jan 1, 2015

I just got this pc and I heard this pc starts off over clocked(The CPU), how do I make sure it's not? I'm not sure which part from the BIOS I should change

Your CPU is a 3.5GHz chip (that can turbo up to 4.1Ghz).
you can use CPU_Z to see the speed of your CPU or check it with Windows (right click on computer and click properties.
The window should show you your CPU's speed.

If you didn't OC it, it isn't. You may be confusing turbo boost with OC'ing.

How do I turn it off? It keeps making the fans speed up too much when it's not needed. It jumps 1.33Ghz to like 3.4-5 at random moments.

That's the Cool and Quiet raising the clock speed from idle (ish) to full speed as needed. You're hearing the CPU cooler fan. If you disable C&Q (and C1E) in BIOS, it will run at full speed all the time.

So if I keep it on it will keep spiking? and if I turn it off, it will run at full speed all the time?

Its a dynamic fan control so it spins up to speed when needed. If you turned it off, the fan would just run as fast as possible all the time.
If you don't like the volume, you can always buy an aftermarket cooler that is quieter and cooler.

Well I don't think it's normal, CPU spikes to 3.4-5 Ghz when idle(80% of the time)
I checked my Bios and I have this
-MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T)
CPU Clock Ratio[Auto] 3500 Mhz
Cpu NorthBridge Freq. (Auto) 2000 Mhz
Core Performance Boost Disabled
[X] CPB Ratio Auto 4100 MHZ

CPU Host Clock Control [Auto]
[X] CPU Frequency (Mhz) 200
PCIE Clock(MHZ) [Auto] 100 Mhz
HT Link Width [Auto]
HT Link Frequenct [Auto] 2000 Mhz
Set Memory Clock[Auto]
[x] Memory Clock x8.00 1600 Mhz

HeIpMePlease :

although you are idling this doesnt mean that other background processes don't run in the background and require some cpu power and it immediately goes to 3.5Ghz
