The VRM's have no cooling on that board so you are risking them burning out on that board. You should either get a new mobo or invest in some heatsinks to help cool them before you OC.Invest in some heatsinks for what? the CPU?
The VRM's if you look next to the CPU socket on the left you will see there is no heatsink on the chokes (large squares) and the VRM's (small packages next to the chokes) If you go to a OC chipset like the 990FX you will see that there is a heatsink there to cope with the increased temps from OC. Something like this would do the same thing.

Thanks a lot Warp 9! I understand now. So I would probably need to do my own research and buy these VPM's for my MOBO to keep temp under control.
So to get my solution. Assuming I buy VPM's and so and and temperature is no longer an issue do you think my MOBO will hold up well with the 4.4 GHz?

Yes the heatsinks are easy. measure what you are covering and get one that size it is okay to cover more than one with the same heatsink.
For the 4.4GHz I would imagine that baring temperature problems you should be able to hit 4.4GHz.
FYI: names are above the pics badges are below.

So I WILL buy the VRM's and a new CPU cooler "Hyper 212 EVO" if you want to know. The only thing I'm still concerned about however is the board being able to handle 4.5 GHz. I highly doubt temperatures being an issue. Worried about the mobo being capable of 4.5 GHz (without dying out 3 months after either).

Good choice there. Your mobo should be fine holding that OC. Most of the damage comes from excess heat so if that is kept where it should be you shouldn't have any problems. The board wouldn't be my first choice for OCing but it should work well enough if you already have it.

I meant 4.4 GHz not 4.5 but yeah
Did you do research on the mobo? I did my own right now but just double checking to make sure. Really don't want to burn my mobo
Forgot to mention does the CPU pull more wattage when OC'ed from 3.5 to 4.4 and if it does is it by a lot? This is probably last thing I will ask so thank you very much! -

Yes the mobo is actually pretty popular pairing with the FX-6300 I've seen it alot around here. It does quite well without the heatsinks but tends to hit a thermal wall around 4.3/4.4 or so if I remember right. The temps on the VRM's there are kinda high for me hence the recommendation for heatsinks.
I don't know the number for that OC but I would say maybe 50 more watts or so.

Holy crap, I really hope the 50+ watts is overestimated. This MOBO is built to withstand only 140 Watts CPU's I believe. Not entirely sure

It is a little I believe. The is due to the VRM's not being able to cool themselves over that 140W ish. Heatsinks solve that problem. I know your board can do it though as plenty of people have had good luck OC with it.
