Great Ghz for AMD 6300 overclock?

SpideySound · Sep 23, 2016

Basically what the title says. I have an AMD 6300 and Im looking to overclock it, hard as i can but also being stable and not blowing up. I figure since i have the h100i, I can overclock pretty well, but im looking for a ghz number. Im hoping I can push 5ghz especially since i have a great mobo and water cooler.. but i wanted to get outside opinions before i tried anything. Thanks!!

Good luck. My 2 x FX-6300 and my 1 x FX-6350 topped out at 4.7 GHz. I thought that was pretty good. But maybe you are a better OC'er than I am. The 240mm cooler will help some if heat is the limiting factor. In my case, it was throttling that made me quit.

What do you mean by throttling?

SpideySound :

Automatically slowing its core speed down to save itself from overtemp. But in my case, the temps were still below max.

still not following i suppose.... so your cpu slowed down its core temp to save itself from overheated, even though the temperature wasnt maxed out?

Right. I still had a thermal margin in the double digits when the cores began to throttle. This happened when I tried to go above 4.7 GHz. Same on both 6300s and the 6350. Same thing on both a Gigabyte 990FXA UD3 and Asrock Extreme6.

Hey!!! Im running 5ghz and my temps are great and my voltage is normal. I appreciate the input though... I might take it down to 4.7 or 4.8 though just to be on the safe side.
