Ok so i just got the msi 280x and i slightly overclocked my fx6300 on stock cooler and it seems stable enough, but when im in a game my cpu fans speed up for about 10 seconds and then slow down, it will happen again 3 minutes later is this bad for my cpu?? also my mobo is (m5a78l/m usb3) PSU (Corsair CX 750w) i know its not the best board for overclocking on especially with stock cooler, also if someone could recommend a temperature monitoring program that would be great :)

Aslo i only overclocked it from 3.5ghz to 3.7
 
Solution
For the extra heat, the 200mhz isn't going to do anything for your games really. Just get a better cooler. The stock cooler sucks for stock speeds. I built a 6350 based system for my GF and she hated the fan. lol.

Thanks for the reply, yea i might get a better cooler i probably should have upgraded to the Fx 8350 and i wouldn't have to do anything to it but im on a budget right now so going to have to wait a wile i guess, thanks for the reply anyway.
