Which one is more suited for overclocking FX-6300. Thanks

Both are good, but the M5A99X has a few more features.
I have a M5A99X EVO (not the R2.0) with a FX6100 that OCs to a 4.4GHz that works fine. @~1.39V
I also have a MSI 990XA-GD55 with a FX6300 that also OCs to 4.5GHz @~1.39v.

The Asus motherboard reads cooler in the "mainboard" line of hwmonitor.

I have an FX-6300 on GA-970A-UD3 and it overclocked to 4.1GHz w/ 4.3GHz Turbo @ 1.325V without even trying, I could most likely get more out of it, but I don't have time to invest in the testing.
