1.425V appears too high for CPU OCed to 4.1 GHz

chaituprince · Aug 5, 2016

Hi Guys,

I had been trying to overclock using MSI's OC Genie button in the BIOS. But to reach 4.1 GHz speed, it pushes the voltage to 1.425V, which appears to be too high. Kindly, advise.
Also, can someone please suggest me the best PSU for the below config:

■ MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard
■ AMD FX 6300 CPU
■ Gigabyte Nvidia GT610 2GB graphics card
■ Cooler Master Hyper 212x CPU Cooler
■ 2TB WD HDD
■ 500GB Seagate HDD
■ 500GB Hitachi HDD
■ 2 USB 3.0 ports being used
■ 2 USB 2.0 ports being used
■ 1 x 120mm system fan
■ 3 x 80mm system fans
■ 1 onboard lan card

Most people recommend that you do not use automated systems for over clocking your CPU. I manually set the voltage to 1.29V on my i5-2500k and was able to get ~4.498GHz. When I was using automatic overclocking the voltage was set to 1.40V to reach 4.5GHz and it wasn't stable. Now you may need more then 1.29V - I'm not sure as I have no experience overclocking the AMD FX 6300.

You may do a google search on "How to overclock the AMD FX 6300".

1.425 is OK for that CPU, but by all means, I recommend that you try manual settings. Try 4.1GHz with progressively lower voltages until stability is lost. Go down in small steps 1.42, 1.415, etc. By finding the lowest stable voltage, you'll keep heat and power consumption at a minimum and CPU life at maximum.
