Hi All,

As the title says, will an AMD FX-6300 processor work with an ASRock > N68C-GS FX motherboard?

I'm planning to upgrade my system due to FPS drops whilst playing DOTA 2. I've concluded that since the FPS drops happen after several minutes while playing and seem to have nothing to do with the amount of visuals on my screen when it happens, it's my processor bottle-necking my system. Hope someone can shed some insight.

Yes, if you make sure you have bios 1.30 on it first. Next time you should look at the cpu support list like below.

Also are you sure its not a heat issue your having?

Thanks. I didn't know you could look it up. Great! I'm currently on P1.40 so it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't think so as I can replicate the issue by hosting my own game on LAN and get poor FPS off the bat. Also, I disabled AMD Cool and Quiet meaning my CPU does not downclock at any point in time even under light load.

Is there anything else I should be considering before changing my processor?

you would probably be better off getting a gpu upgrade instead, although you are gaming at a very low resolution already. is it only that game that slows down? some games actually do not do well with oc'ing you might want to try at stock cpu clocks. that being said iv never played dota2 but i imagine its pretty cpu intensive since its a moba.

Hmm, do you think that it's my GPU that is causing the slowdowns? Unfortunately, I don't have any other games installed as of know. But I previously had Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas. Both ran with fairly high settings with no FPS drops to speak of.

Both of those should be just as or more intensive I would think of your in a city with alot of npc's. Sounds like Dota is overly stressing your pc, like I said try it without a oc as well. You might want to also logg your gpu and cpu temps. With something like evga procession x. That way you can see if it's getting hot enough to throttle your gpu to near 2d graphic power levels.

Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention that I actually stopped my OC a couple of months ago. It just wasn't as stable as stock speeds. There was also a noticeable drop in in-game performance once I returned to stock speeds.

Maximum I got for my CPU is 52 degrees Celsius. I'm using Coretemp to monitor my CPU temperature. I wanted to try EVGA Precision X 15 to monitor my GPU temps as well but running it simply ended with a "No supported hardware detected!" error message. Anyway I tried SpeedFan and I ended up with a maximum temperature of 66 degrees.

i guess precision x is only for nvidia cards, and those are very good temps. in that case if you have seen a huge hit with stock clocks then cpu may be the way to go. I'm just wondering if that is a big enough jump. the only ones i have used is the 8120, and 8350.

Really? Those are in degrees Celsius. I always thought they were high. Not really a huge hit. Perhaps a 2-5 FPS hit if I recall correctly. Those are actually out of my price range. But if going for a 6300 doesn't solve my concern, I'd rather not upgrade at all. :(

If your temps at load are 50 yeah that's low I idle atm since I have Flux in my water loop(forgot to flush the radiator lol) at around 42, and load at like 63 when rendering. Someone with better experience in amd will have to chime in with chip for chip comparison although I imagine it's way better than what you have now. What's your budget for parts? Pushing at your resolution shouldn't be very hard.

Perhaps CoreTemp is not getting the correct temperatures. Speedfan was reporting it at 60. Water cooling is a lot of maintenance if you ask me. Unless you're going to overclock. Didn't really have a budget in mind except for the processor to be honest.

Core temp should be right and my temps without Flux would be around 28 idle. I plan on draining it soon. To properly do it. You can see a pic of how mine is set up In system specs. How much will the cpu run you, as in where you gonna pick it up?

That's one sweet rig you have man. Well, the processor is going to be 150 dollars on credit. It's from a well known shop here.

I'd say go for it. Idk know how the 6300 cools (95w) but the 8120(120w) was a heat monster so just watch temps depends on your ambient area of course. You might find you need to eventually pick someone like a hyper 212 at some point for it. But judging by your temps I'd say yull be fine. My ambient in summer is like 80F. Also my comp is worth more than my car so priorities are a little diffrent lol.

Sounds like it is a reasonable upgrade then. My board can't take the 8120 so that's out of the question. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick it up soon and install it (without wrecking my heatsync etc.) :D

It should come with its own heatsink and fan.

Yup. I mean I have very unsturdy hands and little experience in installing processors so I hope I don't make a mistake (like I did on my 775 Core2Duo where I broke my heatsync.) :cry:

Just be careful putting it in the socket. And try to make the lever part face towards the top of the case to give you better space down low. Also it seems like it's not to attached when on the top feels loose but if you can't jiggle the bottom your good. What I mean is the lever feels cheap but will hold.

I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I'll get to replace it within the following weeks. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciated :D

Sorry for necroposting, but I'm considering the exact same upgrade. Did the FX-6300 work out for you and was it stable? It looks like ASRock has removed it from their list of supported CPUs along with several other FX-series chips. ASRock > N68C-GS FX
