Checking if it's safe to boost your FX4300 to 4.6GHz with the default power settings is important. Your setup includes a Hyper-212 EVO and an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 board.

When conditions are cool and the ocean remains steady, it makes sense.

Search for the MOBO part number and examine your PC components to determine overclock compatibility.

Staying safe with stock voltages is important, but you don’t want a machine that looks reliable yet makes errors. It’s easy to end up with a system that messes up data and writes it back. Recent findings suggest 1.5v is the safe limit for FX chips, though my 6300 runs at 4.8v—just above 1.45v. I think a 4300 might need even lower voltage if you have quality silicon to achieve similar overclocking.

It's working well at 1.5v for 4.6Ghz, but 1.45 seems sufficient. After testing, if you achieve stable performance, you can maintain 4.6Ghz with adequate cooling permanently.
