Is my OC safe? (FX 6300 on Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0)

[Volvet]

I am new to overclocking and I was wondering if it's ok to have 4.3Ghz (stable) on stock voltage(1.29v)?
I have test stressed my cpu with both Prime95 and OCCT for 2 hours each and everything was fine but as I researched more I found that a lot of people say that you shouldn't leave the voltage on auto...

I don't really intend to go further than 4.3 or 4.4 Ghz so I want to know if this is safe.

My system:
-Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
-Amd FX 6300
-8Gb G. Skill 1600 DDR3 CAS# 8
-Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A Cooler
-Cooler Master G550M 550W PSU
-ADATA SP600 256Gb
-Cooler Master HAF XB Evo
-XFX 280x GPU

If you tested it, then its fine.

There's a fair chance that you can get your FX 6300 to 4.4 - 4.5 GHz at near stock voltage (1.40v)

If it's been tested stable at those volts then it shouldn't be an issue. Though i'm sure some would argue that you should stress test for at least half a day or longer to ensure everything is solid.

Can I use my pc for chrome, lets say, while Prime95 is running? Also, how much would be considered enough testing and what type of Torture test should be used on Prime?

That is actually a really good OC for that board. Going higher I think the VRM layout of that board will begin to hold you back. Well done man.
