Good overclock or bad? amd 6300

[stantheman123]

i think i did pretty well

the cpu is at 4.5ghz

(4550mhz) with 1.392 volts

Played battlefield 3 for about a hour and a half and hit a max of 56c

Thoughts?

It seems fine in a game for sure. Have you run any other stress tests?

 

[stantheman123]

i have prime 95. how long should i test for? before i can say its "Stable"

 

[trapper]

I'd say a few hours at least, but I'd personally say it's fine if its overnight or during the day at work and fine when you wake up/get home.

Can you get the volts any lower?

 

[stantheman123]

I can try to get volts lower. but everytime i put in 1.3 it automaticly goes to 1.39 for some reason. is 1.39volts too much for this cpu?

 

[darth pravus]

Try and use offset voltage instead. What LLC are you using?

 

[stantheman123]

LLC i havent changed at all. what is it normally stock?

 

[darth pravus]

NOt a clue. Flat usually. 3 or 4 is usually good for low voltage.

Prime 95 been running 1 hour max temp 68. bear in mind its super hot today (40c) im sweating just sitting down. so normally the temps wouldnt go higher than 60c which i think is fine? isnt it? also everything is stable after 1 hour. ill run it over night just in case but so far so good

 

[darth pravus]

That sounds pretty good to me.

 

[stantheman123]

Awesome man thanks alot dude. cheers for the quick reponses. i just hope i can get the voltage stable to around 1.35 i f i cant ill just leave it at 1.39 temps are fine anyway

 

[stantheman123]

Just a update. Got it stable at 1.34volts. everything is fine

 

[mlcaouette]

I could be wrong here but last I read max recommended temps for fx cpu's was still 55C. Might wanna check into that before you OC anymore.

 

[stantheman123]

I was reading just now since you said that. amd says 61C is max. after playing bf3 then batman arkham city total of like a 3 hour gaming sesh. i hit a max 58c i

i have 1.34-1.35 volts stable at 4.5.ghz now i could go down to 4.2-4.3ghz and maybie get a stable like 1.3 volts what you think?

 

[stantheman123]

Lolwut?! ive been looking at the wrong thing the whole time ive been getting 51c under full load prime 95 thats pretty good? 1.34volts max 51c 4.5ghz

 

[darth pravus]

Leave it there. Thats a good compromise of temp/voltage/clock speed.

The chip will go much higher before thermal shutdown so no worries.

 

[stantheman123]

Awesome cheers. best answer to you.
