Hello all I'd like to overclock my FX6300 processor but I am confused what cooler to choose. Should I go for an air cooler or liquid cooling? any help would be appreciated.

Before your do any overclocking, please tell us which motherboard you have.
For fm2+ I was able to OC the boost clock only. Can this be done in AM4 as well? I'm contemplating Ryzen 1600 build, but want it to more closely match 1600x for sparse thread.
You can do p-state OC with AM4 if you like. Board has to support it though. I think?
Not true. I have it working on an Asus Prime x370 Pro. P-States are configured in the CPU via MSRs, so it should not depend on the mainboard.it working on an Asus Prime x370 Pro. P-States are configured in the CPU via MSRs, so it should not depend on the mainboard.

If you want to configure p-states on Linux you could use the msr device [1] to read/write the configuration you want from a simple shell script. See page 138 in the AMD reference manual [2] for how to configure it. Just don't fuck it up, or you have a (moderately) expensive brick instead of a cpu.
