#Overclocking #AMD #FX6300 - Наука та технологія
Hey Buildzoid! This is kind of blowing my mind right now but I'm the eBay seller that you bought this from! I subscribed to your channel mainly for the GPU PCB breakdowns, but when I randomly came across this video in my subscriptions list today with the same CPU in the title, I freaked out progressively as I recognised my board and cooler then continued watching your intro and you described exactly the eBay listing I sold. Congrats on the validation, I'm amazed and I had no idea it was such a beast of a CPU. This board has been the basis of my first gaming PC which I've used for the last 9 years, and I upgraded to the FX-6300 in about 2017. I reluctantly sold this bundle on since I finally switched to a mATX Ryzen build recently (the full ATX board was way more than I need). Sorry about the dust, 15 year old me was rubbish at fan placement! I didn't have a can of compressed air to hand either to clean it up before I sent it. Super interesting video, man! I've not delved far into overclocking CPUs, but you've piqued my interest now. Good luck with the liquid nitrogen!
Small world, isn't it?
your man didn't even bother replying. disappointing
@@LorenzoTheFisherman He usually doesn't pay any real attention to the comments. He's about the UA-cam money, not interacting with his audience.
Love the pause as you decide how to describe gigabytes boards 😅
Buildzoid and I ARE best friends :)
Did he help overclock your system?
I like when you show us how to oc hardware I can actually afford. Totally NOT a filler video lol
I love fx chips, served me well, got me into overclocking, worth every penny I paid for mine new(and I was scrounging together pennies back then)
Love the BIOS on my X79 fatal1ty champion. One feature I've never seen on another board is that it somehow applies the CPU clock right before it boots into an OS. Meaning that you can set any clock you want and if it's unstable just go to the BIOS and change it back, no CMOS clear needed.
Thank gods someone is still having fun with these.
Nice!! This is one of the nicest am3 boards i've ever seen.
Great video love the content
I had a FX 6300 build some years ago with a RX470 GPU. I remember it being a great CPU and overall gaming PC for around £400?!. With AIO cooling :D
This is Fantastic!
Takk!
Favorite thing about this is that getting this chip was basically a total fluke. Fingers crossed it scales well on LN2!
My FX build was the most fun I had, bought an 8320 in 2014 as a stopgap waiting for amd competition, it was sold at i3 prices at the time and was intended to be used undervolted, i ended up using it for 7 years, overclocked up to 5 GHz, on a 6 phase mobo, with a 500W power supply I had bought in 2011 😂
I had one of these with one of the early 8350s. Used it to mine and saw smoke on a few occasions but nothing ever seemed to die. I got it for a steal with full corsair case, psu, ram, cpu all for like $350 back in 2013. Had a great clocking i5 3570k at time with maximus v gene(swear it was one of my best boards for OC) so I really didn't care about the 8350 though it did 5ghz no problem.
Awesome stuff! Regardless of how this cpu does under LN2, please make a video. I'd love to see the results be they great or terrible
my FX setup was a 8320e on a asus m5a99fx which was a great overclocking board.
2x 8gb gskill 2133, 2x asus 280x, and hx850 PSU. had it running OC@5.2Ghz on CPU
from a stock 3.2 base clock. using a 280 swiftech AIO.
The marketing reviews of these processors were often negative but in reality their performance and price was unbeatable
i never knew how acceptable my fx-6300 was until i discovered that i could OC it to 5.4GHz on a shitty asrock 970 board, air-cooled.
my power supply always hated me
What is wrong with your psu?
@@saiprasad8078 His psu is sad because the FX beats it to death with the load.
@@saiprasad8078 oh it was a 520W PSU that really really didnt like that cpu combined with an r9 290 (which i did have to undervolt). Just too much power draw lol
The power of PD-SOI.
Imagine if we get FD-SOI finally…
I have a nice example of an FX-6350 that will do 5.3GHz at 1.58v and run 2600MHz CL10 memory, but we're talking cinebench and quick benchmarks stable. Like two years ago I just barely topped your R15 score on HWBOT with that chip. I push a variety of FX chips on my Crosshair V Formula-Z and find that its BIOS doesn't fight me too much.
Buildzoids gonna be that guy thats retired from the computer history museum but still goes there to walk middle schoolers through his museum on a tour a few times a year
I had an FX-6200 that simply refused to take any kind of overclock.
Air cooling is not dead! I daily a 5900x at 4.825GHz on all cores for hours in ACC while streaming to UA-cam.
yeah man! and screw an aio, the only way to watercool is custom loop. and really watercooling is just a big hassle anyway, especially if you have to ever transport your system or if you want to change components out. and then all those people that running aio's that have no way to check their fluid levels or add any if necessary, on my wc'd rig i always have to top it off like once a year. and then you see all those videos of people having problems with them gunking up!? for me it was fun at the time but i'm back to air cooling. got a noctua d15 on my current Ryzen rig and only thing i got to worry about now is the fans dying but that's an easy fix.
I loved the FX chips, you could get some stupid high clocks even on a decent watercooling setup
I always avoided ASRock as a platform for AM3+ for several reasons but the biggest is in my case, I simply didn't want to chance it vs the results I always seemed to get with my Crosshair boards.
Some may say it as "Sticking with what works for you" and that's how it's been for me along the way - Not that I can complain either since I did do the 8.3GHz+ 1M Super PI run (Covered in OC Round up vid #2) with a Crosshair V-Z and a few other runs with a Sabertooth 3.0 that turned out well too.
Speaking of that board model (Sabertooth 3.0), great platform to work with for AM3+ and you've seen the results mine has given before but I know it's a hard to find model. Maybe one day (If not already) you'll find one and get a chance to try it.
Good stuff as always here.
whats the fps boost at 8.3 ghz ? damm
yeah, i tried to save money one time and go with assrock when i got my FX-8370 and it was ok for around a year and then one day *poof*. that was back before everyone was paying attention to vrm components. i thought 990fx was 990fx.. wrong! but ended up with a sabertooth 2.0 after that and it's still running to this day as a second rig, with better temps and better oc to boot!
i think i even still have the dead board, would prob send it to buildzoid if he wants it? it's a 990FX Extreme4
I have the same board with an 8xxx '8core' and 16gb ram in it from my computer before this one (went from that to a 1600af to a 3900x). Half tempted to turn it into a media pc for the tv in the living room.
Wow. My last CPU was a 6300 and I could barely get it to 4.4. Though to be fair to it, the board (Gigabyte 990 FXA UD5 rev3.0) seemed to be the main limiting factor as it VDROOPed like a bat into hell.
I have a UD5 rev3. Based on my exprerience with the board I'd say that's a you problem.
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking Damn. What a burn!
ouchie
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking Thanks for the reply. It's certainly possible, though I did hunt around back then and found it to be a really common complaint, however it could just be a bunch nubs reporting it.
Perhaps I'll rebuild it sometime and find out (without the issue of it being primary machine).
E2A (having now seen the previous replies)... I didn't see it as a burn, just a direct reply with minimal time investment. Knowing he's had adequate or greater experience is really helpful, means it's worth investing my own time figuring the board/chip out as there's potential a sufficient reward at the end.
To be honest, that's a very Buildzoid statement.
it would be interesting to see what you can do with an Athlon X4 845, yes it is locked, and memory support sucks, but shoving voltage and BCLK into one does give some rather interesting results
This makes me want to send you my old 6300 and see what you could do with it.
I have a PO box. Just send me an email about it to buildzoid@gmail.com
I got the same idea with the old, never oced, FX 6300 fromm my friend who upgraded some weeks ago
@@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking right on! I'll drop you a line.
85 quid "it's too much money" but you got a beast
I miss that board, it was a good board
asrock sucks
Waow amazing
This is literally my old motherboard! Sadly I killeded it and it is now in a dumpster.
I remember when this was the go to poor man's gaming CPU for like a few years lol
Thanks a lot for the video and information. Actually this is the heatsink I was using also with my FX 6300 and I swear my FX 6300's temp which runs at 4.3 GHz was shown between 18 - 25 C in AIDA64. Not quite sure it is correct but that was amazing. And this heatsink was really cheap. Didn't know I will manage to get this kind of performance. Also I want to try some overclock with this CPU but my Gigabyte 970a-DS3 literally died. Horrible motherboard it was :))
na, you really have to go by the socket temp on them and you don't want that going over 62c (just like the old athlon's, phenom ii's, etc.) the reported "cpu temp" was never right on those chips because of the way it was done. at the time they weren't using an internal temp sensor on the die and were calculating it in software, for whatever reason? if you use something like HWmonitor there's usually a couple different cpu's or systin temps depending on the mobo but if you run something like Prime95 you'll figure out which one it is pretty quick, it'll be the hottest one.
@@XX-121 Yea, this value doesn't make sense. My point was, there is a rumor about "FX chips run so hot." but its not completely true. Yes of course there is some FX chips which runs hotter and consume way much power but its not all of them. My FX chip handled me well nearly 8 years and I retired it because of the mobo. It was a decent CPU unlike the general misunderstanding. Also this heatsink was awesome and I bet I can be able to use it more if I had a decent 990FX mobo.
@@kutaykendir513 oh for sure, i ran an 8370 @ 4.82ghz 1.35v all the way up till zen 2 and never had a problem running games. i think i was hitting around 56-57c max temp on prime95, games were lower. FX rocked!
G'day Buildzoid,
WOW! that is really cool & I will be looking forward to some LN2 content (will 6.3GHz be one of the OC steps😁), is there any chance we can also get a PCB Breakdown vid for the Motherboard?
I still have my FX6300 but it is in a GA-78LMT-USB3 Rev:5 😖 as I haven't found a Good 990FX at a reasonable $AUD down here, I know that 990s is the best but do you have any thoughts on if there is are any 'Decent' 970s to keep an eye out for also. Not going for Records like you but would like a nice everyday OC when I rebuild or playing on my testbench.
While it is not a Full build at the moment it is boxed with all the parts from when it was my gaming PC including Kingston HyperX 2133, Sapphire R9 270X Toxic & Activated W7 OS HDD. If I find a better Mobo or decide to put it in a case 'as is' I'll get an SSD to Migrate the OS.
Overclocking like it's 1999
You can do some wild editing in the bios
hello, for a good CPU support (i7-12700) to the ddr5 that yields a lot in "productivity" (considering the fact of changing ddr5 banks in 1/2/3 years with the model no longer "immature" while maintaining cpu) how can I orient the choice of MOBO to have a good "compatibility" and better optimization between cpu and ddr5? hypothetically especially with ddr5 banks that will come out in the future. (when will I (hopefully) have a net improvement over ddr4 for higher frequencies and lower timings, ex: 8000MHz CL 30). for example i had seen that intel 12 gen to have a significant improvement with ddr5 needs an overclock of the memory controller, for this purpose a mobo bclk would be fine, if you have to pay attention to something in particular? or would it be better to take the model K and a mobo z690 (even if I would go over budget with the cpu)?
Since this is your latest video and probably the most likely one to get attention. Are there any OEM DDR4 kits that you can recommend. I have a samsung c-die memory kit ( avexir core 2) . Its pretty meh. Out the box xmp is 3600 18-20-20-44. And it has no room to budge. I managed to improve on the secondaries but not to the point that I am happy. I am wondering if there are any decent OEM dram kits that with a bit of tinkering might get a decent 3600/3800 or 4000mhz result with decent timings?
Im still having 6300 on 3.5 Ghz, games still good on HD. I never tried to oc it because i want to avoid extra consumption and destabilization.
Would love to see Liquid Nitrogen! 8.5+ GHz would be insane!
fuck that lets go for 9
I'm being sincere when I say that I'm not knocking your efforts and I appreciate your work, but the problem with this scenario is that the end result of this project is that you have an overclocked FX 6300. So please accept my condolences.
Buildzoid: haha Bulldozer go brr
8:36 Is that a stab at 1usmus's Clocktuner and Hydra too? 😁
I had a FX8320 that did 5.4Ghz with a Thermalright Sliver arrow on a Gigabyte 990 FXA UD3 it was ok but it was nothing compared to when i upgraded to Core i7 4970k
wow you won the silicon lottery with that one, was this really stable at 5.4ghz? at what voltage? the one i used to have did 4.6ghz before it needed a massive jump in voltage to go higher. NOT WORTH IT.
@@wowitsshit9734 I can't remember exactly but I think it was around 1.45v it's going back so many years ago now lol. I could git higher but the need for voltage was getting out of control.
@@Dazzxp nice!
first
edit: I also have the same issue with capture cards where using one makes the max resolution in win 7/XP annoyingly low. if you find a way around that besides installing drivers, let me know lol
well now it's stuck on 1024x768 even when hooked up to a monitor so the capture card did something wack to the generic drivers.
I had a thought the other day, but I have no idea if it works nor am I talented enough to find out:
Cut the protruding legs off of the through hole dimm-slots.
SMT dimm-slots good for memory oc. They don't have little tiny "antennas" on the back of the board. Cut the "antennas" of and get half'ish the way to SMT slot performance???
I got that cpu sitting in my spare computer in the other room hasnt been turned on in about 5 years. Not sure how well its binned because the motherboard it is in is very bad (horrible vrms). I even had it downclocked when i used it because of the motherboard.
Can someone tell safe 24/7 (or at least 1-2 years)voltage for cpu-nb FX8350 (it has Opteron IMC if I remember correctly). Is it 1.45v or higher? Coz asus sets on auto 1.45v. But I wanna do more than 2.6Ghz. Btw on phenom ll 975 BE I had 2.850 Mhz with Vcpu-nb=1.23v. Does FX need more voltage to be stable with cpu-nb OC than phenom ll?
Oh wow, so you really weren't joking about using that CPU for a video. ;-)
You said that a lot of Gigabyte boards are awful. I have a 990FXA-UD3-R5. Is that one of the good or bad ones? The heatsink on the VRM & northbridge "looks" like it should be good at dissipating heat.... I have an 8350 in it with 4 x 8GB Kingston HyperX 1866 ram. Cooler is a 212+EVO with two 120mm fans. I'm not interested in setting world records, but was wondering if I should bother trying to do "normal" overclocking on it? I know from what you have said in the past that having all 4 ram channels full makes overclocking harder, but this is my main system still, and I can't live on only 16GB of ram. I hope to be able to build a nice Ryzen system this year, but for now my 8350 system is the best I have.
that's one of the better ones.
Paid 230 USD for a 4790k and sabertooth z87. Manages 4.8 at 1.33v 4.5 uncore at 1.27v. I feel like I got a good score what y'all think?
I Bet the ebay seller was gutted for only charging £3.85 for postage lol.
is this applicable to playing games or is it just to make the number go up without utility.
Any idea on how far a Gigabyte - UEFI Dual Bios can push FX 6300?
Buildzoid what's the reason you don't have Discord? Even if it was locked to normal users (can't send messages) it could be an easy and great place to find very useful information on overclocking
BZ has a discord, patreons only.
we did this with an 8086k 😎
Them fatality boards are not bad at all, I own several of them, including a Fatal1ty 990FX Killer that I still have i use. Only problem with these boards is ASrock doesn't add thermal pads or heatsink compound to the heats sinks on the chipsets and vrm so they tnd to overheat and in some cases fail. what gave the Fatal1ty boards a bad name. But besides that they are very solid boards and can handle a lot of abuse if you treat them right.
Well besides the bios, they need some work.
@@umbrefawxI have a 970 board from asrock how can I improve it?
Its only a 3.5ghz chip, yeah right, mine will do 4.9ghz all cores active totally stable in all tests on air at 1.43V much beyond that and AIDA stability overheats it and it shuts down, maybe i should try just a validation run with it - the 6300s are nuts
My 990FX NB chipset runs at 1.45-1.47V auto, because i got 2400mhz ram... is this safe?
CPU : AMD FX 8350 4.5Ghz 1.4V(1.344V) Medium LLC
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V formula-Z auto NB 2400mhz, auto HT-Link 2400mhz
Ram : G.Skill Trident-X 2400mhz CL10-12-12-31 1.65V
Impossible is nothing
WHY WHEN I WRITE RYZEN DOWCLOCKS AT 75C ON R/OVERCLOCKING IT GETS REMOVED?
because it doesn't
@@-eMpTy- yea it does fu ck ta rd
But can you do anything more than just validate it? It is interesting to WATCH this content, but if it immediately falls over opening an actual 'stressful' real-world program/game; this hobby seems more than a little masochistic.
It's 1998 again?
