I want to overclock my fx-6300 cpu, but once I get to 4.3ghz my computer will freeze. I have a hyper 212 evo and just re did my thermal paste as I thought that was why it kept freezing. Any tutorials or suggestions? I just want my cpu to get to 4.3..

Yea, 970 chipset is good aswell. What is your CPU Voltage? If you notice that you need very high Vcore for your OC, try balance your CPU/NB voltage with Vcore then. Then you wont need the same amount of cpu voltage. I love CPU/NB voltage! :) Also, overclocking NB Frequency could improve performance aswell. I got a 100+ score in 3DMark11 when I took NB Freq from 2200 to 2400MHz.

What motherboard do u got? You should be able to get more than 4.3. Though, sometimes there is this special weird "wall", where u need to apply some ridicilously high Vcore, up to 1.45-1.55
Tho, this is if u got 990 chipset...
