FX 6300, is there a way to make it run 100% only when gaming?

I overclocked my FX 6300 to 4.3 and when it was under my desk the extra fan noise did not bother me. Now that it is on my desk, it is a lot more noticeable. Is there a way to have the processor run at lower speeds when not under load, and then boost up while gaming? thanks

Some of the newer CPUs on auto might do it but older ones don't. I'm not much of an AMD guy so I'm not sure about yours. You could run HW Monitor and see what it's doing.

I saw that option, do I just enable it and that's it? Because when I enabled it another option for a Ratio came up and I wasn't sure if I needed to do anything.

I think you just need to enable it. Do it and test it.
