Huge throttle on AMD FX 6300 Need Help

[beers]

I'm lucky in the sense that my X58 board comes with a gigantic VRM heatsink. lol

Doesn't even break a sweat under heavy OC.

You like to derail a lot of these threads about your own build

I mean... what else is there to talk about for the OP. The dude needs a new mobo.

OP you can see if you can disable 2 of the cores in BIOS and try playing with a 4 core/2 module setup to rule out power consumption. If you still get the same chuggy behavior then it's likely more thermal related.

well to squeeze myself into your conversation xP

for now i found https://www.amazon.de/Asus-Motherbo...id=1465562506&sr=1-1&keywords=m5a99x+evo+r2.0 which should be okay, only bad thing is that my next cpu will be amd again which i really tryed to not do but i guess life is not a ponyfarm xD

i guess we can close this one, thanks everyone for your time and help

I think the voltage is low because it's downclocked, so don't worry about it actually.

Can we get a picture of the inside of your case and get a gauge for how airflow works?

Sorry to hear that.


@Darren, don't shoot me!

Well he's saying his next CPU will be an AMD processor because of the board he's buying, but the last CPU's in that socket are what he already has so he's next one will be a new board regardless.

Right side cool air in Left side Warm Air out (double checked arrows on fans to be 100% sure ^^)
Also cable managment seems bit messy on this camera angle but they are all zip tied to the case.

I just tried again playing with some settings and it seems like using windows power saving mode while limiting the CPU to 70% seems to stop the throttle and i dont get any 206Celsius anymore (whole system now sits on 25-30C on Idle and arround 40C when i play games on but the motherboard still sits on 75-80Celsius)

So i guess for now its okay since i am anyway more of FPS then graphics kind of player.
Guess then Upgrade plan for my PC just changed from adding SSD to getting new i7+decent board with actually cooling and maybe new case for better airflow.

Edit: okay it just happened again but it seems more rare then without saving mode so think it will be okay till i can afford new hardware.

Just reapply thermal paste properly, and wack a fan pointing towards the motherboard. 120mm fan will work fine.

I have the exactly same build and yes it sucks but you can make it rock stable at least at stock using these few changes and settings:

1. Get a (cheap) aftermarket cpu cooler. I use Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 (18 euros at my country)
2. Update your bios https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/760GM-P23-FX.html#down-bios
3. Disable at your bios:
OC genie
Turbo mode
APM (Application Power Management)
Cool ‘n’ Quiet
Core C6 State
C1E
4. Don't OC
5. Change voltages to:
CPU voltage 1.135
NB voltage 1.135
everything else auto.

Results are stable FX 6300 at 3.5
idle 17 C
full load 37 C

Enjoy!
Hope I helped!
