Hello,

I'm Damien and i'm asking your help haha. I've researched alot in cpu overclocken, And tryd a bunch, ccc, and some other overclocking programs, Even in the bios. But i just don't get it to work.
I'd reaaaally appriciate if someone could explain me this 1 step at a time since i've been struggling with this over a year.
And i know, There are going to be trolls: ''sell 6100 buy 8350 etc.'' Here's the thing, I just can't afford it so sorry, Can't do that haha.

So if someone would like to help me, Thanks so much!

Specs:
Cpu: Fx- 6100 (Core 3.3Ghz 6 cores&6threads) (seen people clock to 4Ghz on stock cooler)
Stock cooler :/
mobo: 760GMP23
Memory 8GB 1333Mhz
Gpu: Asus Radeon HD 7970 3GB blah blah

Need to know anything else? please ask!

Thanks in advance,
Damien

That MB is not designed for OC'ing, and you should not attempt OC'ing with the stock cooler, so you do it at your own risk.
Start in BIOS. Turn off turbo mode. Increase the CPU multiplier one click at a time. Save and boot to Windows. If all is well, run a stress test like prime95 (1 hour) or Intel Burn Test (one 10-run pass at default settings). Watch thermal margins of the cores with AOD. Stay in the double digits. If all passes, repeat.
Eventually you will have an unstable OC. When that happens, either back off and live with that, or increase the vcore (VID) a tiny bit and try again.

If you smell smoke and the screen goes black, it all over.

Every piece of silicone is different. It will depend on your luck with the silicone lottery. You should be able to get 4.0 Ghz with a good cooler before needing to increase the vcore. But with the stock cooler you'll be lucky to go beyond the turbo speed... and then only if you are lucky (and the VRMs on the MB don't die.)
But watch the thermal margin in AOD. If it gets down to the low teens C, stop.

Again, and I can't stress this enough, don't OC with the stock cooler. It has a TDP of only 95W. Once OC'ed the CPU will be far greater than 95W.

Okay, so how hot can my cpu max get? i'm aiming for around 70-80 degrees, And if it gets hotter i'll try to get a oc with 70 C max, Would that be considered, Safe?

I overclocked the turbo feature from 18x to 19x before, It worked kinda, It put the speed to 3.8ghz but I hate to use this game lol, But on minecraft it was choppy in a weird way, Not laggy at all just choppy. You know why this is?

You're suppose to turn turbo mode off when you OC. Otherwise turbo mode will spike the clock speed higher than your OC when it is activated.

If that's the only game that has problems, I would suspect something other than the CPU or GPU. Or the game itself. Minecraft is a low demand game. You can run that on much less PC than you have. Run CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry portions both. That will clean up a lot of wasted resources, software conflicts, and registry errors. Then check your TRAY and see how much stuff you can disable. Some of the stuff you have running in the background may be interfering.
