AMD FX6300 Motherboard

[Joe1145]

Im looking to OC my FX6300 to 4.5GHZ. Which is the best MB for this? I've set a budget of around £80.

What is the best Board for this kind of budget? Do i go for a top end 970 or a low end 990?

Board i was looking at was the Asrock 990FX Extreme3. Is this board any good?

Superb board - no need to spend any more - best voltage regulation out of any board I've used.

OK looks pretty good - I want a good board for overclocking and this looks like it might be it.

That motherboard is quite good for the CPU, so if you do have the money, go for it!

yeah using fx6300 and this ud3p board, really good, i have oc'ed my cpu to 4.4ghz, and i could go higher, but my cooling doesnt allow it to me.

 

[Joe1145]

I'd be happy with 4.4, not sure my cooler will take me to 4.5. Will find out when i get the board and start OCing

8+2 phase CPU VRM power design for AMD high-TDP CPU support

Basically regulates the power sent to your CPU, the more u have and more high quality they are the higher hypothetical overclock u can achieve. Standard nowadays is 8+2 up to 8 cores if memory serves.
