Hello all,
I've been reading and reading about overclocking the last couple of days and today was the day I decided to go for a light ish overclock of my FX 6300. I started by disabling the standard things I'd seen in various guides, at least the options my bios would allow ( 970A UD3P - Rev 1.0 - F1 ). Then I changed the frequencies and voltages to the exact values that they were on for auto to give myself that base. After that I set the Multiplier from 17.5 to 20 and the FSB to 210 bringing the clock to 4.2. Saved, exit and ran Prime 95 blend test for around 40 minutes, passed IBT at standard, and ran the Heaven benchmark, all without error. Also logged into Guild Wars 2 and killed some stuff with players around as a quick check as this is the main reason for the performance bump.
My goal is the 4.2 mark anyway due to my cooling, not stock but not great either ( Cooler Master Blizzard T2 ) so I think I have achieved that. However while monitoring temps etc in HWInfo I noticed the chip was being downclocked to 3144.4MHz and the voltages are also alot lower than I've seen posted aswell as CPU-Z having a different value to HWInfo.
This is the first computer I've owned that really has the ability to OC and stuff so I've not got the expierinece before today. My main questions are have I got the correct voltages and is the downclocking a cause of it being too low at what I assume is stock if the values were just copied over? Screen shot attached.
Many thanks for any insight that can be provided
Edit: Since posting this I've been back into the bios and it seems the voltage I set is now at 1.2750 instead, yet HWInfo and Core Temp still show it running at 1.1750 with CPU-Z being more accurate at 1.260.
