Go to solution Solved by i_build_nanosuits,

I would like to know how many fan headers dose it have, and how good is the over clocking on it with a 6300 cpu

this board as a cheap 4+1 VRM and no heatsink...it's really not designed to overclock the FX-6300 at all...period.

You don't want to run a 6300 on this board. Like other low-end MSI boards before it, this one has a weak VRM setup that is known to fail easily.

The cheapest motherboards that can successfully (and safely) overclock FX CPU's are gigabyte 970A-UD3P, ASUS M5A97 EVO and MSI 970 Gaming.
