My friend thinks that his motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131795&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Can't handle his AMD 8350 and he disabled two cores... Is this true? Or is it fine with 8 cores?

@WoodenMarker and others help d:

 

 

He found this on newegg at reviews and FAQ btw.

Yes, he could damage it because that mobo supports cpu`s up to 95w, he`s cpu drains 125w so yeah

No?

Found this on the Newegg site "Supports CPU up to 125W".

So it should be able to run it just fine, but overclocking it will properly make it burn :P

 

Edit: The 8350 is also on the cpu support list on their website, so it will run it with all 8 cores.

The actual TDP of the 8350 can be up to 140w. 

Because of this, it's fine with 8 cores if you undervolt the cpu a bit. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

How would he undervolt it a bit? Also, can you reccomend the cheapest mobo that will support his 8350 fine with the 8 cores enabled?

tell him to get a 970a-d3p if he hasn't already bought it, or a 990fx chipset.

Usually somewhere in the BIOS.

 

And (although not the cheapest) one of the most reliable and awesome is the ASUS Sabertooth. :wub:

There should be a "cpu voltage" (often called "vcore") setting in the bios, that you can change. I would just turn it two steps down, but you can also try to find the minimum stable voltage under load and go one step higher than that.

He properly wanted it for a m-ATX build, and there aren't really any AM3+ m-ATX boards out there.

It's in the bios. Look for the vcore/cpu voltage.  Figure out what the chip is currently using, start from there and keep lowering it while making sure it's stable. 

The 970a-ds3p is pretty cheap.
