Hey guys I am new here and I want your help, I need to overclock my fx 4300, it has stock cooler. Can you tell me how much I can overclock with the following specs: gainward GT-610 2gb graphics card Fx 4300 with stock cooler. PSU:- corsair cs450 watt. Motherboard:- gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2PV. Guys I know that my PC is a potato and I do not want to hear about that. It was all I can get at that point of time because of my budget. Thanks

I wouldn't take it very far, but monitor temps and can see. You can pick up a 212 EVO or H7 cooler for around $30 that will allow for good OCing

With stock cooling its possible to overclock FX-4300 (mine is black edition) but to a limit. Yesterday I overclocked to 4.4Ghz with below settings:

I have same MoBo as yours, the cheap 3+1 phase Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2. My PSU is Corsair VS550.

The temp rise was 5 degrees only at full load (thermal margin reached 18). Benchmarks (Geekbench and AMD Overdrive) improved by 20% but Rise of Tomb Raider had no effect at all.

Overall the system is very stable and fast. So yes, with stock cooling/heatsink 4.4Ghz is acceptable or even more if you have a better MoBo. :)
