Overclocking FX 6300 on Asus M5A97 LE R2.0

[Shuttingup]

I plan on overclocking this to about 4-4.5 ghz. I was wondering whether I would run into any issues considering that people have been saying it's a budget board.

I had the big brother to that board and i hit 4.5ghz easily but i had slightly better VRM cooling so i cant say the same for you. Follow this OC guide and see what results you get.

I'm getting 1.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz as I do a stress test and my computer freezes. I had 4.5 GHz with 1.45 V

Are you checking your temps? also keeping your eye on the Vcore making sure its not undervolting.
