Overclocking amd fx 6300 with stock cooler (gigabyte bios)

Jester1204 · Aug 30, 2016

Hello I, I am asking for some help about overclocking my amd fx-6300 to around 4.1 ghz. I have a 500w PSU, and I use a stock cooler. I was wondering, what would be the best voltage settings, would appreciate some help. Thanks

I would not overclock that. It boosts to 4.1GHz anyway, so unless you get a separate cooler I don't suggest it.

I plan on getting a hyper evo 212 to go with my 970, so I dont have to upgrade the mobo.

What specific motherboard do you have?

Also as mentioned DO NOT overclock that CPU with the stock cooler. The Hyper 212 EVO is a decent starter choice but the Cryorig H7 is an even better choice.

As for overclocking every processor is different, you would do well to learn how it works vs try someone elses settings that may not work.

Download that, read it, and learn it.

Ok that board has a 4+1 VRM it is not reccomended for overclocking. That said if you get a good cooler and you get these:

And you add extra case fans you can get a small overclock out of that system.

Next up is your PSU, what is the brand and model?

Decent basic PSU but again another bad choice for overclocking.

IMO don't do it, you're asking for trouble. AMD FX 6 and 8 core processors need an 8+2 VRM motherboard as well as a really good quality PSU for a stable overclock.

Yeah I was never really planning on oc'ing. But I do plan on buying a 970 and some people say that the bottle neck will be pretty bad but some people don't, what do you think?

It won't be as bad as people say, a lot of people see bottleneck and freak out. While the GTX 970's performance may be hampered slightly, I don't believe it will cause any playability issues for you. Bottlenecks don't always mean that the game will be unplayable. In a case like this it means you may lose 10-20 fps but it will still be well over 30 and close to 60 (as an example and depending on the game of course).

I planned on running games such as GTA V, Witcher 3, etc. On 1920 x 1080.

Both games should run on it no problem. You won't hit 60 fps most likely but you'll be in the 40's to 50's which is more than consoles!
