Hi, so last night i ordered the H60 water cooler and since i am new to water cooling, how much will i be able to OC my cpu ? another thing i know my temps have been acting a little weird lately. Core temp reports a 19-25c while idle and up to 50c while gaming. while amd overdrive temps go DOWN while gaming which is making me think maybe a heat sensor is messed up something.
Thanks !

You shouldn't be overclocking at all on that motherboard.

As far as AOD, those are not temperatures. They are margins.

You are going to melt your VRMs on that board if you push it much at all.

Even if you did have a good board, you wouldn't get far with that liquid cooler. It doesn't contain much water volume, mostly propylene glycol.

i dont understand lol, the mobo came with a bunch of overclock tools and info https://us.msi.com/product/motherboard/760GM-P34-FX.html#hero-overview why would msi give users the idea that they can overclock but it will damage the board ?

You could probably overclock something like an AM3 Sempron safely on that board, but certainly not your FX-6300. Do read about VRMs, and how much current they can handle. Those VRMs are few, low quality, and not even cooled. Remember this moment in time if you decide not to heed my advice :D

Notice how the CPU support list is limited to 95W or less?

^^ That's rated for stock clock speeds.

Some, but not enough to overcome that design.
