Overclocking the Amd Fx 6300 on an MSI 970 gaming motherboard with a H60 Corsair liquid cooler is possible. After reaching 4.2 GHz, temperatures stay around 62°C using Prime95, which seems acceptable. You might want to adjust other BIOS settings to lower the heat further, as it feels quite high.

62c (Core) is positioned very close to the limit, but if it's a Package temp it isn't excessively high since it may reach up to 90c.

No reason to disable cool & quiet whatsoever.
Read your temps using the thermal margin in amd overdrive , its the most accurate way.

CountMike's analysis shows Core is near the limit, though Package temp stays within safe bounds as it can reach 90°C. I checked the steps with Aida 64.

CPU measurement relates to the core, and the CPU diode indicates the package temperature. If you're talking about the first one, it's near the throttling limit, which is excessively high.

CountMike provided details about the CPU measurement, noting that the Core and CPU Diode relate to Package temperature. He mentioned the CPU diode was at 62, while the CPU itself was running at a higher temperature, though he wasn't certain of the exact value.
