Try your luck ,if it s a new revision it will work most probable.
3,5 Ghz on paper as it will be able to work higher than the factory CPB 4,1Ghz in daily use with small tweaks
![Smiley :)](http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
It will reach the first turbo state at 3,8Ghz most of the time by default.
Get some Athlon/Phenom 2 CPU from a friend and update before reinstalling the FX 6300 ,if you have issues.
Get a minimum rev 3.0 with this boards as the prior ones will not receive BIOS updates ,old AWARD BIOS.
If it s old send it back to the reseller,get rev 3.0.
