Hi everyone. So i have had this oc problem for quite some time now. I had a thread about 2 months ago about this problem, but it never got solved. So the thing was that when i tried to run my cpu @ 4.3Ghz, it would give me bios message on boot. So i was running @ 4.2Ghz without any problems. But as soon as i bumped it up to 4.3 i got that bios message ( will add screenshot ). So today i decided to leave at 4.2, and add +5 on fsb, so i did that. Now its @ 4.3ghz, and not giving me the bios message on boot. Any ideas why its like that? Voltage is the same as it is when ocing via multiplier (1,35v). I would prefer to have it oc'ed with multiplier, because i dont rly like, that its changing ram speeds etc.

specs: fx6300, g970a-ud3p, r9 280X, 8gb hyperx fury 1866mhz, 600W psu.

FuryX is a good little overclocker, the chipset is Kingston so a +5 fsb boost won't have any ill effect on your ram at all so don't worry about that.

I have the FX 6300 overclocked to 4.410 ghz

Multiplier: 21
FSB: 210
RAM: 4x8gb (32gb) FuryX 1866's 9-9-9-27 I haven't tightened them yet they're stable so I don't wanna mess with timings right now
Voltage: 1.425
Prime95: 24 hour blend pass
Memtest: 30 passes
OCCT: 12 hour linpack pass
Idle: 7c minimum
Stress: 59c maximum

If you really want to go 4.3/4.4 without the +5/10 FSB then you'll need to bump the vcore voltage. For 4.3/4.4 1.4v seems to be the minimum.

Don't forget to run OCCT for 2 hours then Prime95 for 3 hours after overclocking (these are BARE MINIMUM, at some point you should do a 12 hour OCCT/24 hour Prime95) to make sure your overclock is stable. If you error or crash then bump voltage/fsb again.

Even though your computer boots I'm suspecting at 4.3 even with the +5 fsb you will error on P95/OCCT after about 20-30 minutes with your current voltage. With 210 fsb I errored after 43 minutes of OCCT stress test with 1.375 voltage. Only got stable at 1.425. Advantage of FSB bumps though, is it helps keep your voltage temperatures down :) at stock 200 fsb my temperatures were in their 60s/70s, now at full load only in 50cs thanks to the +10 fsb. Sweet spot.

Good luck with overclock let us know how it went :)

Hi thank you for the answer. Well, nice to hear that it shouldnt do anything bad to my ram. :) So i was playing around with fsb, and for now it seems to be stable enough @ 4.4ghz with 210fsb and 21.5x multi i think. Voltage is 1.375v, and p95 max temp after about 30 mins was 54 i think. As far as i can tell, this voltage is pretty good for 4.4ghz, and before i was running 4.2 with 1.325v and it was stable. Will see how it works in games n stuff. :p

Run OCCT linpack for 2 hours minimum before you do any gaming, I'm still suspecting 1.3v is too low for 4.4ghz but my board is different so there will be discrepencies, don't forget that once you game when your gpu is stressed it will put further load onto your cpu, hence the extra vcore power needed.

Do you think that 1.375v is that low for 4.4? I have seen a chart posted by some guy ( i think it was in this forum ), where it says that many fx's @4.4Ghz need 1.37v. But thanks for the answer, if there will be any stability issues, i will try to increase vcore a bit.
