Can I overclock amd fx 6300 on gigabyte 78lmt-s2p (rev5) motherboard?

You should be able to. If you haven't installed it already, make sure you have the latest bios version first. Overclocking should be as simple as increasing the multiplier a few ticks and perhaps adjusting the voltage.

But motherboard only support 95w cpus and amd fx 6300 is 95w cpu. is it OK?

mantukis5000 :

It's listed on the official support sheet, so it better be.

Is 3+1 phase design enough for amd fx 6300 overclocking?

^ not really mate no .
You may be able to push to 3.8-4ghz max if you're lucky but then your board may throttle.
Personally don't think its worth the risk - strange that the 2 earlier board revisions support 125w chips though.

It's a low-end, cheap motherboard. Will it run your CPU and allow you to try overclocking -yes. Will it give a good experience for a maximum overclock- no. The only way to really know how well it will perform is to actually use it. Usually, spending more money will result in better performance.

Can i overclock higher if I disable 2 cores?

Maybe, but why spend the extra money on a 6 core cpu if you only intend to use 4?

Games that only use 2 cores

^as in what games exactly??

there are 3 golden requirements for overclocking an fx cpu.
1. A decent motherboard
2.A decent aftermarket cooler
3. A decent psu.

I have no idea of points 2 & 3 ,but as stated its not a particularly decent motherboard.
In theory yes you can drop 2 cores in bios & push to 3.8ghz which will in essence make it an fx4300 still running at a 95w tdp.
That board runs an old amibios though,the voltage regulation is not intelligent & it will still likely be pushing 1.3v or so (stock 6300 voltage) through the vrm's - theyll still be dispersing more than the rated 95w tdp & are still going to get hot hot hot.
Youll get literally no benefit as under heavy single core or dual core loads the 6300 boosts to 3.8ghz on 2 cores anyway - the boost function is designed for exactly these kind of low core threaded apps to work this way.

2.My cooler is cooler amster hyper 103
3.My psu is fortron FSP700-50ARN 700watts
