So I overclocked my FX-6300 on the GA 970A-UD3 rev 3. I managed to get it at a 'Stable' 4.5Ghz.. The problem now is.. it's stable when the pc is on... the turning on is a bit weird. The pc powers on for 1 second, goes off, turns on normally. Now I've seen other forums that talk about this problem with gigabyte boards.. Almost impossible to get rid of it.
Now my question for you guys is, Will this damage anything over time? I'm strongly thinking about just leaving it like this ..

Yes it's all stable.. prime stressing didn't get it past 40c no random thottling. all good. Apart from the booting 🙁

It boots, so I'd say you'll be fine.

If you overclock to an unstable multiplier, your system simply won't boot. You still don't break anything. Just don't overheat your CPU; but since your at 40C... you know your coolers and paste application.
Build my rig end last year, only bothered with the video card, rest is pretty budget Haha...
So.. will I seriously damage anything when leaving it like this with the boot?
and yes, probably getting new mobo somewhere this year :)
