I just discovered a OEM one. But thanks for the help. I appreciate it

Asus M5A99FX Pro R 2.0 I tried it again with a bios update

So i made a thread before, long story short, I build a 4690K PC for gaming use already, but for work I needed a new rig since I benefit from those cores, I had all the parts except the motherboard, So I ordered the board few days ago, arrived yesterday, but the CPU won't boot, I tried booting with a phenom and it worked. So that means I fucked up while fixing the bent pins. So I did research and found a 8310, which is a OEM, i'm just wondering if it's good or not, same as the regular 8350

Hey man do you know anywhere that sells cheap FX 8 cores? Cause I think I F'd up fixing the pins cause its not booting on at all, i changed PSUs twice to test, then I put a an phenom and it boots, but with the 8 - core it won't...

Edited please read first post.

I think i'd go for the 970 from MSI for the looks haha. Hope it doesn't have the VRMS blow up

So it's a good buy for it's price tag/features? Not comfortable spending over 100 on a work rig haha. I'm considering this or the Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 for fan control out of the box, since I don't want the noise to piss of my co-workers

Sawp guys. I recently build a 4690K as a Main Rig for entertainment and gaming, but now i'm looking to build a work rig, well for work. So i dug up some old parts in my garage and found a FX 8320 in there with a few bent pins which I fixed. I already have ram, SSD, GPU, and other stuff for it except the motherboard, since this is a work rig which I use Krita software (Yes I get paid for what I sell as a Student), Photo Shop editing, Aerospace 3D Rendering, and a bit gaming at work during break. I was looking at the MSI 970 Gaming motherboard, and since it looks cheap i'm wondering if the board is a GOOD board for it's price. Does it still have MSI's old VRM issues? Does it have problems while overclocking? Are the original MSI AM3+ problems solved in this board? Thank you Edit 2/15: So my board arrived today, but the CPU isn't powering on at all, I think the pens that I fixed aren't working. Is there another 8-core AMD FX thats pretty cheap since most of them are like 200 again.

for example if i had a 6300, at 4.5 - 4.8 ghz, will it pair with a 290 bottleneck doing the same stuff i do?

Ah, just bought it for editing, games i usually play are maplestory, dota 2, csgo, lol, 2k15 nba, skyrim, and gta 5 when its out. can't afford a lot of games sadly. Thanks for links tho so the higher the resolution the more it stress the gpu?

Would it bottleneck? 290 x 8350? I don't play a lot of AAA or plan to max out settings , mostly just graphic design what do you mean crush?

what is the minimum graphics card you recommend from gtx and r9 to drive it? i might get two one for my editing rig, and my dad

would current setup 8350 + r9 290 drive it for editing, and source engine games?

Is it harder to drive 21:9 1080p monitors than regular 1080p?

do you know which silverstone psu filter fits on the bottom of the case? i'm trying to coat the bracket lime green sort of like the corsair lp green, but a bit darker to match the cablemod green
