Folding Computer Build

So, I recently burned out my FX-8350 (My fault...) Don't really care... I was already in the process of upgrading to Intel... I guess I'll just have to do that sooner... But anyways, I'm using some of my old hardware to build a folding machine. 
 
My fold system will use an FX-6300 A10-7850K. Hope to OC quite a bit. I don't care how loud the fans are so I'll max the fans. I'll be keeping it in a basement so it's cold year round.

ASRock 970M Pro3 ASRock A88X Extreme 4+
8GB of 2133MHz RAM
H60 water cooler
 
If anyone wants to give me overclocking advice that would be cool. I want to know about voltages more than anything else.

Force the fan to suck through the the rad.

Drawling marks for GPU cooling cutout. I'm going to use a mill to cut vents.

Be careful when overclocking. The motherboard has 4+1 power phase with no rad on it, It will fry if you push it too hard

I actually have it underclocked right now. I'm working on setting it up but it has no thermal paste.

Get this board, and then shove that FX-6300 right up to 4.5ghz~. I was able to get 4.5ghz stable on that board with a Hyper 212+ in push-pull at 1.35v.

Not going to buy a new board... This is a computer I'm never going to use. I'm building it to run almost 24/7 for folding...
