need a 100 $ board for 8350

[nomnom123qwe]

 

My system config is -

 

Cpu - 8350 , Ram - 1600 Mhz crossair vengeance ,  Motherboard - GA970A DS3 REV 1.1 , PSU - 500W Cooler master thunder , Gpu - 7870 Ghz edition saphire , Hardisk - 1 Tb Samsung SATA , Case - elite 310 'standard' by Cooler master.

 

 

so i had ga 970a ds3 rev 1,1 but it does not supports my cpu and is giving alot of issues i will not be overclocking my cpu so just need a decent board which supports my gpu and cpu and gives good performance is bang for buck also i need uefi bios if possible :3 

 

preferred brand - asus as i think 2 cpu fans option will come in handy as i use a 212 evo with 2 fans

 

thanks again

MSI 970 Gaming maybe? (runs my FX-8370 just fine at 4.3 turbo clock!) Also many says it can reach 4.5 OC

well i do not mind 970 gaming its within my price range and seems like a good board alot of comments in review says its a 6+2 board and 8350 doesnt work properly on it + as u can see my old  chipset was 970 and i had alot of issues ... so which phase is the best for 8350 ?

I dunno isnt a FX-8370 just a "higher clocked" FX-8320/50? If so it should be fine and I am sure it was 8+2...

If you want a 990FX then you most use around 180-220 USD I think...

 

The best options seems to be Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 or MSI 970 Gaming. (There is also MSI 970a Krait edition)

M5A99FX PRO R2.0:

*VRM= 6+2

*Heatsink = Yes

*TDP = 140W

*Recommended? = Yes

*Low RDS = Yes

 

It looks good but I myself have never had one and the 6+2 worries me a bit...

you suggested msi 970 gaming i believe it is 6+2 as well :l and cheaper but what is the actual problem with 6+2  and why does it worry u ?

my older board which still runs is 4+2 i believe still works fine never gave me any issues for 2 years other than minor issues which i could ignore until now still it does not give those issues with the cpu which are in its support list so i do not know lol

also what is rds ?

[miagisan]

188 $ and GA-970A-UD3 is out of stock lol

[i_build_nanosuits]

check the Asrock 970 Performance, it's a great board...8 phase...nice features...usually good price.

what i meant was 188 $ is for  UD3P and GA-970A-UD3 is out of stock so i can not tell how much price difference is there

People need to learn to understand vreg design, and the quality of the parts that are used.

 

Asus 6+2 powerphase digi vrm boards, like the Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0 / Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 / Asus M5A99X R2.0.

Have a rock sollid vreg design, and will totaly support a FX8 core on it, adequate overclocking capabilities.

 

Msi AM3+ boards suck in general.

The 970A gaming, isnt that bad, however its not the best overclocking board either.

But the main issue with the Msi boards is overheating vrm´s and mosfets if you wanne overclock a FX8 core pass 4.5Ghz.

Msi´s vreg design components are abviously not compairable to Asus components atall.

well i will not be overclocking at all not even the smallest bit of cpu . 

i just want to oc my ram to run on 1600 mhz cause i paid extra for 1600 mhz

so i am just looking for a board which supports my gpu and cpu and does not give me heat or bios issues 

as i messed up big time by already buying 970A DS3 Rev 1.1 as shop keeper suggested it and it gave me hellish temperatures on cpu socket and kept restarting my pc 

and now im stuck with this 970A board so i am looking for a new one
