Overclocking With M5A97 LE, is safe? As it doesn't have MOSFET heat sink.
I have a FX 6300 CPU and Sapphire 7850 1GB GPU, i am planning to overclock them, I have query that will my MoBo will support it. Or will become a Bottleneck.

-Thanks in adv.

The LE lacks heatsinks on its VRM. The LE isn't recommended for overclocking. I wouldn't even bother messing with overclocking on the LE.
If you want to overclock, get the regular M5A97 R2.0.I have the regular M5A97 and I've overclocked my FX 8320 from 3.5GHz to 4.0GHz (haven't bothered going further but I know I can probably push it more). T

The LE is a budget board not meant for overclocking. I wouldn't even bother, because you'll just end up blowing your system.
It will run just fine at stock settings though.

And what about overclocking gpu?
i think it won't be affected by the mobo.

The motherboard only affects CPU overclocking and has no impact on GPU overclocking. So you'll be fine.

Hey can you suggest a solution for CPU overclocking..
(don't say to buy another mobo)

If you want to overclock, you need a better motherboard.
The next best thing you can do is have better case cooling but you can barely overclock your cpu, it won't even be worth it.
