I´ve watched alot of Youtube Tutorials and tryed out a few things dont worry I kept and eye on the temp and mate sure to stop when it got to hot I didnt go to far with anything and I was at 4.04 Ghz Max and went back to 3.9 Ghz cuz I noticed that it was to hot and the cores where jumping way to much from 4.04 Ghz to 3.02 Ghz I have my HT set to 2400 and my NB to 2000 (tell me if I need to change it please) now I read a lot of posts and googled alot on what could help but nothing changed I have Installed Intel Stress test, Core Temp, Prime95, Amd Overdrive, GPU - Z and a normal GPU Benchmark if any of u guys could give me tips or help me or tell me where the limit is it would be highly apreciated

M5A78L-M LE/USB3 | Motherboards | ASUS Global

ASUS M5A78L-M LE/USB 3 is based on AMD 760G chipset. Packed with advanced features, including Core Unlocker that boost system performance and EPU to optimize system power consumption.

www.asus.com

Do you see where it says it uses the 760G chipset? In a word, don't. Don't even attempt to OC that CPU on that board. It was a mid range board when it came out, it doesn't handle 125W CPU well. The VRMs on that board are few and garbage. You are best off just using that system until you can get a better one. I have no idea why AMD allowed that chipset to run those chips. One of the worst decisions they ever made. We constantly see people come here asking about it. I'm sorry for the bad news but I wouldn't even try.

well thanks anyways imma look what I can do with my current state ... or if I could be able to upgrade to a better Motherboard

Any recommendations for Mother board or any other Upgrade thats not over 150€ ?

You could try and search the used market, for an intel i7/xeon e3 1230, or better, 2nd through 4th gen. That would allow you to reuse your ram. Otherwise, I would wait until you can get a more proper upgrade, to something like this. Sticking money, into a dead platform, doesn't make much sense.

I didn't suggest a new board because it's a waste. The entire system needs to go. It's rather pointless to spend $80ish on a new board for that 6300 when that can get you a new board for a new CPU that is faster. I would not spend any money at all on the board/CPU/RAM. It's done. It had it's time and now has been replaced/passed by both camps. To try and eek out more is pointless. Sorry.
