FX 4300 VS 6300 on 970 chipset mobo

[xgamer1500]

Hello guys. Im building a secondary rig. What I will be doing is taking a 660 and an asus m5a97 that i have on hand and then taking an ancient old PC case from the late 90's early 2000's and modding it and building a kickass machine. I am stumped on the cpu though. My motherboard has a 4 pin connector. On my first rig i made the mistake of combining that board with an 8 core. (DON"T DO IT) yeah i had a blast. Get a 990fx chipset for an 8 core with an 8 pin cpu connector but anyhow. The fx 4300 and 6300 are the same price. The 6300 is obviously better. They both consume 95watts and such. But 1, does the 6300 produce more heat and 2 will a 4 pin connector work good with no undervolts on the cpu ? Or should I play it safe and get the 4300?
Thanks

To be honest a 8320/8350 will run off a 4 pin header. The 8 pin header is only for major overclocks. I would assume that the 6300 would put out a bit more heat than the 4300 since it has a couple more cores but the stock cooler ought to handle it just fine. (The stock coolers are pretty terrible though, even on intels side. got a couple of delta 50DBa fans in my system and at stock voltage it still gets up to 70c)

Oh yeah the 8 core will run off a 4 pin, but the second you get into something intensive, such as gaming or what ever it is, you will see performance drop offs from undervolting. So would the 6 core have those undervolting issues or would it be solid?

Should be fine, the 4300 and 6300 have the same TDP. (95w each)

Then i'll go with an fx 6300.
