upgrade 6300 to 6350 worth it??

would i be stupid to think that a sucsesfull clock on one 6100 would be different to that of another 6100 due to factors like coolers, pc use ect...

Not just because of equipment not all CPU have the same overclocking capabilities even if they are in the same series , watch an overclocking event not for information but to see 2 of the same chips go up against each other sometimes the people taking part say they couldn't get a higher clock because of the chip

any able to explain this better ?

but obviously cooling is a major part , and i am guessing if its well used CPU or been under a lot a stress or been Overclocked before at silly volts it would have a sorter life span and maybe wont reach higher clocks.

i am running on a cheap air cooler that's why i am not going over 4.47Ghz and its stable but the heat fluctuates , once i have water cooling i might keep my FX6100 for another build.


Anyone can add or criticize towards my post as i only know the basics ?

ive given up getting a stable clock so new to it all think im just going to go get an 8320 maybe an 8350 problem is i got it second hand and i dont no its history ect.... even clocking it to 3.9 gave me stability issues
 
If you do go for an 8320 then you must download the f5d bios or you'll not be able to stop the throttling, as rev 4 doesn't have apm on the bios.

What's holding your 6100 clock back, too much heat? what cpu frequency and voltage are you reaching? How are you testing, do you have llc enabled?

Do you have screenshots of your bios config to post up

i have read that i need to download something to do with bios if i go the 8320 route but as far as my current cpu and clocking i really have no idea what im doing to be fair
the only thing i no is fine is my temps i have been clocking using amd overdrive and runing the test in there after a few min it crashes, i have attempted about 15 times to no avail.. I have tried through the bios but again i just dont no what im doing lol.. if this pic helps this is what was happening on a small clock to 3.9

i used the bios as last time i used software it was constantly running in the background and using to much processing power ... hows it looking for you under processes





1.365v remember all cpu are different and add more voltage means more heat .

no here is were i sound really stupid :confused:

how do i find that out lol all i no is i have run the stability test for 28 mins temps have stayed stable max 48c @motherboard 42 on the actual cpu.
 
Does overdrive show the frequency holding 4ghz when you are stability testing, or is it throttling to 800mhz and then back up to 4ghz every few seconds?

If not throttling then great you have more headroom as temperature of CPU and package are way below Max of 60c temp/ 70c package.
Increase the clock by 100mhz each time you test for stability, there will come a point you'll need more voltage. But I expect you'll hit 4.3-4.5ghz needing around 1.425v

Try some games and apps to check for stability too.

im not getting any throttling at all just staying still.. going to try battlefied for a bit see what happens then go from there.... cheers for your help chaps

Alt+Ctrl+Del , task manager , processes , do it when you aren't running the stability test to see if overdrive is using any processing . i don't know if all software does use processing to do the overclock but the best way is always from the Bios just remember the voltage and CPB ratio and turn all the quiet and energy saving feature off like in the thread i posted
 
Only bit I disagree with is all the energy stuff, it won't increase performance or provide stability when disabling it all, neither will it limit your max potential overclock. Overclocking using offset voltage and cool and quiet is the best way to overclock, especially if using an fx6 or fx8 on these awesome 78lmt's as they have a 4+1 arrangement.
The theory of disabling all the energy stuff dates back to the old athlon days when cpu's didn't use p-states, no need to disabe it all since the Phenom II

as soon as i close overdrive down it goes of the list buddy so no it doesnt run.... also upted it a bit to 4.2
