Graphics Performance less than expected. Help would be appreciated :-)

I just want to say thanks guys for all this awesome advice. So 63C is too hot? How might I fix that?

NB Okay, So Im running at 20.5x200/4.1 at 1.335V with no errors from Prime95 yet and temp sitting at 63C.

4.1GHz is only the stock boost clock Are you sure the cooler's seated properly, the thermal paste is ok, etc?

 

[The_Orderian]

What do you mean stock boost? If you mean Xboost function that only takes it to 3.7

 

[teppic]

The 6300 has a base clock of 3.5GHz, but it'll boost when necessary to 4.1GHz. I've never heard of a 6300 not being able to reach 4.3GHz even on the cheaper boards. There shouldn't be any temp problems at the stock clocks.

Last time I used a stock cooler on AMD the temperatures didn't give any real headroom.
Plus ambient will be hot, he could be on a stock cooler, if he's reaching 63c at 3.7GHZ he could easily be over heating.

Sounds like potental CPU throttling too. That ceertainly won't help his framerate issue.

It'd be best to keep it at stock on the stock cooler IMO.

Its not a stock cooler, its quite a good one [Prolimatech Blue Megahalems CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1150 /1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011)] I am not gettin 63 at 3.7C Im getting 63-64.5 at 4.1.

Tried to post an image of my Hardware Monitor results, it didnt work. Lol.

My 6300 sits at idle ( now ) @29c, and doesn't get any higher than 39cto 41c.....and CPU-Z is telling me the CPU is going from 3.80 to 4.1

I dont OC

I was under the impression that 63 degrees is a perfectly safe temp for the 6300. I used to have one myself that ran quite happily at 4.5GHz, although I'll be honest and say that I get far better performance overall on my current i5 3570k. The 6300 is a good bang-for-buck chip though. Have you tried using a good overclocking guide? Achieving a good overclock is a slow and time-consuming business but worth it if you want the best possible results.

I have looked into it and have learned the basics. I managed to achieve an OC of 4.1 at 20.5x200 with 1.335V at 63-65C. There was no errors returned from Prime95. Ill know better when I get my next PC to get an Intel
