Minor overclocking with fx 6300

[rayne2330]

Im building my first pc rig and i do have a budget of less than $90 for the motherboard. My question is if i can do some minor overclocks with the msi 970a g46 with an fx 6300?
I want to get it just around like 4.1Ghz. Nothing major. Will this work fine?

That board will be fine for minor overclocking. It's a 4+1 phase board, so make sure you don't go overboard or you'll blow your VRM's.
Make sure you have a cpu cooler other than the stock heatsink.

Low voltage + proper cooling = fine for minor overclock.

Thx, i kept reading about people who had problems getting the 6300 to like 4.7 Ghz but i dont even want to push it past 4.5Ghz. People also kept saying never to overclock with his board or the VRMs will blow but i wasnt sure how far they were trying to overclock it.

One more question, will this mobo bottleneck the gtx 760 in any way? im getting the msi twin frozr model 2gb.

Around 4.0GHz should be fine, maybe pushing it to 4.1GHz at max.
The 760 will be fine on the motherboard.
