FInally hit 5Ghz on a FX-6300

That's great OC, and nice temps too. Congrats. Now, only missing to do some CPU benchmarks, to see how this beast behave.

What kind of temps did you get when running this on air if you ever did JKershner?

[realneil]

Like to see some pics,....

[Smiki007]

Yeah, that would be nice.

[JKershner]

I didn't run it on air at 5Ghz, I did run it at 4.8Ghz on air though. Pics will come soon once the cooler review has been posted.

[realneil]

4.8 on air is pretty damn good.

Here's one of the pictures found in the review done while overclocking on air using the Cryorig R1 Ultimate cooler. You can find the complete review here

Nice job! I finally got my FX8350 to a stable 4.680. Not quite 4.7... But right there.. It took a strong bowl of cush and some random ideas and calculations..but i got it there...

4.8GHz on air is damn good (now I know how it's possible: with Cryorig R1 Ultimate cooler )

4.68GHz ~ 4.7GHz is also a very good OC (especially if is on all 8th cores).

Strong bowl of cush? LOL! Yeah that makes for some awesome calculations,...................

I agree. Some of the OCs I've seen here are awesome. Throw in some cable management and quality build processes and they are top notch.

That is an amazing OC on that FX6300 totally awesome! I would be proud to hit that goal on my build when its finished! LOL If I ever finish it! Congrats! By the way thats a Huge cooler there from where Im sitting! Now attach an air conditioner duct to that Cooler and go for 5.5 ghz!

Ive just seen my 6300 top at 5.1 (not sure how long though) even though I had only OC'd it to 4.1? It surprises me as I only have a hyper 212 evo!

[calemus]

strange.....
dem implicationz doah...

[realneil]

I get 5.0GHz. out of my FX CPU sometimes. (9590)

Ok guys my son's AMD FX 6300 was put back to stock even though it has an aftermarket cooler on it. So who is going to berate me for that? I had both of the pcs here overclocked pretty good but despite passing test after test and having many times where performance was good I put them back to stock finally. Thing is it hasn't stopped me from enjoying the games I play and I max or put close to max everything I play and I am playing at 1080p. Still after seeing these new posts talking about high overclocks it has me feeling not quite right and not so good about what I have done to these rigs. LOL!
