So, in the past few days, i tried overclocking my fx 6300 on my ga 78lmt usb3 rev 6 with hyper evo 212 led. Now i understand that cheap mobos like this one is not ideal for overclocking, but hey i gotta make use of my resources. Further into the queston, i overclocked it to 4.4 to 4.5 at 1.4 to 1.5 volts then run prime 95 and other benches for 24 hours no problems. However when i shut down or restart my pc and turn it on again, it displays "system has experienced boot failures, because of overclocking." Idk if clock is stable or not, but judging by the results its pretty confusing, any insides guys?
Any solution?

Your CPU, PSU, Motherboard aren't exactly the same. The CPU may have less overclock capability, or the power delivery might not be as stable.

All you can do is find YOUR maximum stability which may be lower. Why don't you aim for 4.2GHz first and if it works run for a week to ensure it seems stable.

You get just over 2% boost with each 100MHz so don't stress trying to get that last 200MHz which is less...

When you modify the BIOS from within Windows the overclock may work fine.

However, when you bootup again the BIOS runs tests (POST or Power On Self Test) and can decide the overclocking settings are not good.

*that does NOT mean it won't work, just that it thinks it won't based on its tests (or there are errors being reported when it writes to system memory), though of course it may fail LONG-TERM due to stressing the motherboard components.

Either way, unless you want to change settings every time you reboot you should drop your overclock.

Your VOLTAGE is probably the biggest factor here.

Thanks, however I scoured the last day just trying to find a stable test. I could not, not even at like 3.6 at stock voltage, lol do I need to undervolt.

Undervolting is mainly about reducing TEMPERATURE.

Overvolting is about giving enough POWER so that a particular frequency remains stable.

In general, if your cooling is sufficient there's no reason to undervolt.

*Also, FX-6300 minimum under load is 3.5GHz and it should boost up to 4.1GHz. I guess boost for all cores is 3.6GHz based on what you said (there are different Turbo boost levels based on core load).

I'm not sure why you can't overclock more than STOCK though my top guess would be the motherboard isn't providing stable power.

But to be clear, did you try say 3.8GHz and then slowly raise the voltage until its stable?

Yes, it just says that I can't do it. My EVGA 500w PSU should be able to handle it, Idk I checked my motherboard. Should I just take out everypart, reset the cmos and rebuild? Also I dont use Turbo Boost, it is pretty unreliable when gaming

there should be no reason to rebuild.

I'm not sure what your problem is though. I would go back to DEFAULT settings for now. Maybe your CPU or motherboard just can't handle anything else. Obviously you can try different settings and voltages so I don't know what other advice to give.

I found out that it was my PSU not working as it's supposed to be.Well thanks for the help though.
