Asrock Motherboard
Hyper X 4gb x 2
Amd fx 6300
Asus gtx 750ti

After building with an experienced tech I checked the temperature of the CPU in the bios it was around 50 - 70 this was way too hot and we thought the Processor was faulty. We applied thermal paste to the Cpu and checked again everything was the same. We are returning the CPU any other info?

We installed Windows 7 and installed drivers and updates and everything was okay we thought well if it's broke its performance decrease within the hours of usage

Stock cooler on the FX 6300 is terrible. I've had a couple builds up to 4.4-4.5GHz under a 212 EVO without issue. Should work nicely.
