Both are poor motherboards.

Look for a Gigabyte UD3P , best 970 budget board on the market.

so you're prefer to choose asrock 970 pro 3 than msi 970a g43/h, because :
- G43 is known to NOT OC FX 6 well, due to no heatsinks on VRM and known overheating issues.
and
- 970 Pro3 is good for OCing FX 6
???

MSI 970 G43 is a board with a poor power and thermal design.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Neither is a good board for overclocking , 970 pro 3 is slightly better.

I don't think 970 pro3 have batter heatsink...and good for oc FX6

MSI 970-G43

ASROCK 970 PRO-3

Have similar feature I saw..

and if you want to overclock FX6,I think you should go MSI 970 GAMING.

Yes for OCing, Pro3 > G43, but both are not amazing boards, as said, Pro3 is slightly better than the troubled G43. Tier 1 boards will definately be a better buy anyday.

if i didnt OCing that FX6300, are 970 Pro3 durable for a long time?

If used sensibly, quite certainly yes. The thermals are not great but still fine for stable usage.
