Begin by searching for your CPU model "Amd Fx 4300" and "overlocks." This will give you a clear understanding of its capabilities. You've likely already seen much of this information, just need to adapt it to your setup.

The problem seems to lie with the motherboard, especially because I have no prior knowledge about it.

Most straightforward CPUs to push are easy to tweak. Just adjust the CPU multiplier manually from auto. At 20x200 you reach 4000mhz, though voltage changes. Test this setting on auto mode. Running cooler helps—lower temps mean higher speeds. Keep the core temperature at 60°C or below during overclocking. The FX core can handle up to 70°C. For better performance, a better cooler would be ideal; the T2 offers only average results.
