Carterjj Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 So in the next few days I will be receiving my AIO cool master 120v liquid cooler and will begin my first Over clocking experience. I currently run at 3.7 GHz up from 3.5 but that was just a push on a button jump. I'm currently running the stock heatsink and fan and never go over 52 degrees Celsius. What does every one think my max overclock should be with out becoming unstable and to hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Im going to say between 4.3 and 4,5ghz. Those chips get toasty once you jump a few hundred mhz. luckly that AIO cooler should do the job. edit: If you list out the computer you have, it will give a better indication of whats possible.

Carterjj Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Sorry I meant to list everything and forgot. I'm running the following Fx6300 CPU Asus sabertooth 990fx Mobo Evga 600w 80+ bronze PSU Gigabyte R9 270x GPU 2 GB 8 GB of 1333 ram.

ir_cow Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 that cool master 120v is only 27mm thick so you probably still hit a thermal limit before the cpus max. Keep us posted when you get the cooler installed and take a crack at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterjj Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 OK will do. Should be here this week sometime. What are the best testers to run I have prime95 and Intel burn but prime confuses me and idk if Intel burn is getting the right readings or if I just don't know how to read it. But it passed as Is right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCCT is the way to go when stressing components (in my opinion of course, but i think most will agree on this). http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/download (download is at the bottom of the page) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterjj Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Well I got the cooler and I'm happy with the cooler itself but there was a installation issue. The darn thing doesn't fit in the elite 431. PCI bays are in the way so it doesnt line up with the mounting holes. But no biggie I just drilled some new ones. But it performs decent. At full load and using just the auto over clock settings in the bios boosting to an 8.4% overclocking I managed to sit at 43c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 That seems low to me. hmm whats the voltage on the cpu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterjj Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 1.12v I think. Let me double check real quick. My stock speed is 3.5 and I'm only up to 3.794ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterjj Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 1.188v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carterjj Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Actually if anyone could point me in the right direction to manually OC my 6300 that would be great. I've tried searching for content but only come up with 8350 stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
