The 2 motherboards mentioned on the title have no heatsinks so I am asking how far can I overclock a fx-6300 cpu on them stable and safely? I will be using a COOLER MASTER HYPER 212X CPU FAN. I just can't choose between the two so I will just base them on their OC performance.

There is no M5A97 R2.0 and GA-970A-UD3P available on my country and that's just so sad.

I've had a stable 4.3 with the 6300 and l.e. r2.0 for the better part of a year. Both on air and on CLC.
Just take your time and know what you're doing before you do it.

jthm2004 I am just wonder what voltage are you using for that 4.3 overclock? It's just I have the same processor and mobo and it will go over 4GHZ but anything over 4GHZ is unstable, so I will have to add more voltage. BTW I am using stock cooler at 3.8Ghz atm when I overclock I will get my aftermarket cooler back :)
