Can someone please help with my fx6300..

Ah right. You seem amazingly not bothered by all this happening

As most games only use 2-4 cores, the 6300 will perform basically identically to an 8320/8350 at the same clocks for those, and the 6300 can usually clock higher because of the fewer cores.

i am bothered, im just trying not to go mental

i suffer with anxiety so keeping my cool is pretty hard

and this hasnt helped!

It'll all get sorted soon enough and you've got a better board now too. Most people would be fed up with all the testing, exchanging bits and going back and forth you've done the last couple of days!

i use it for everything

If you do sell it on make sure that the buyer understands that it has problems so there is no comeback to you. I think you will take a big hit in the price though. Just do a RMA to the place you bought it from if less than a year old. If over a year old go through AMD. They will send you a shiny new cpu. In the meantime pick up a cheap Athlon ll X2 or similar to tide you over.

Strangely enough that's the second AMD cpu to have a memory related problem on here over the past couple of weeks. See Teppics thread here.

Yup, but my issue was about the IMC not coping with higher speeds - it ran absolutely fine at 1600MHz. I'm still waiting for the email from AMD to say they've tested it. It was £8.50 or something to post to the Netherlands with a signature on delivery.

Iv decided to rma it with amd. Im just waiting for an email with ticket number ect ect.

Gunna luck for a cheap athlon like pastymucher said just to put me on.

Seems the rightnway to go around it
