Is this a BAD chip or am I missing any thing vital?
I've looked at many guides an tried small over clocks, reapplied tim ( Pea Sized Dot, Artic MX4 - Used Artic Cleaning Solution + Prepare surface) I can't overclock past 4.1Ghz stable - temps reach max.
I have mixed ram so I tried to set to D.O.C.P an load the 1600mhz xmp
I've also tried these settings: http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard
i've also started from stock voltage an bumped up slowly untill stable at 4.1ghz -
MotherBoard:
• ASUS 970 Pro Gaming mainboard with Aura lighting, AM3+ processor socket and built in SupremeFX 8-channel high definition audio
Ram:
• Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3, 1600mHz, CL11 (11-11-11-30) RAM
• HyperX Fury Red Series 2x4GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM
CPU:
• Unlocked AMD FX-6300 Black Edition 6 core CPU running at a speed of 3.5GHz with a boost speed of 4.1GHz
GPU:
• EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC Graphics Card 4 GB GDDR5
CPU Fan
• Hyper 212 - fan changed to a SP120mm Corsair fan
best overclock achieved,
20.5x Multiplier, 200 frequency, 1.308V, Digi power settings set to guide CP/NB Freq set to 1.25
Inside Case I believe fans are orientated correct
