Yes.

 

From your link:

8+2 phase CPU VRM power design for AMD high-TDP CPU support

For future reference newegg has great pictures and allows you to mouse over the pic and look at the board itself. Doing that you can find any plug and verify just about anything you could need to know. Not trying to be mean but while it is nice having someone to ask sometimes it just takes a little bit of effort and a few moments of your time to find the answer. Generally if you can't find it in 10 minutes or research (that includes google time) then ask us and anyone would be happy to help.

It's doubled. I prefer the M5A97 EVO R2.0 for the better heatsink and native 6+2 phase.

Finding the M5A97 Evo R2.0 is hard here in the states.....

You either get the M5A99FX that has a 6+2 or a M5A97 R2.0 that has 4+2.

it's a good motherboard i've used it and it overclock well and the temps are good on it.

The problem is the CPU..

Doesn't he need to update the bios before he can use the CPU?

8 phase PWM on the specs often means a 4 phase driver with doublers. Doublers don't increase the switching speed so voltage stability is lower than with an 8 phase.

 

The amount this matters to anyone who's not doing liquid nitrogen overclocking is probably negligible. Actual MOSFET quality is more important.

no it's good to go as is.

Does that mean it works out of the box?

you go with an FX-6300 or FX-83XX ? if so yes it will work out of the box perfectly.

My dad got me a fx8320

that's great...if you have the correct cooling for the CPU the UD3P motherboard can sustain 1.45v overclocks easily...have fun!

[duriel]

8+2

 

using it + an fx-8320 at 4.4ghz atm. very nice for the $$

[boboman342]

I had that exact mobo! I got my fx 6350 to 4.8Ghz 1.445v rock solid stable!

He got me something, so i'mma get something for him haha
