Need a new AMD motherboard for my 8350

[DirtyLogics]

I recently got a 8350 for my Extreme 3 Asrock motherboard and all it does is throttle because of the VRM on the motherboard.Need a new motherboard that is STABLE with the 8350 as well as overclockable and matches the color scheme of my other hardware.The motherboard needs to have no problems and could only be either black or blue.Any suggestions ?

This is probably the most powerful option, It isnt very logical though.

Don't really wanna go asrock as they have a vrm problem with the 8350 along with other motherboards.Also the Asus motherboard doesn't match my color scheme and is too pricey.

I'm using the ASUS sabertooth 990fx R2.0, love it. Might want to check that out.

m5 990fx asus r2.0 pro is all you ask for

[LordMustangGT]

M5 990FX Is the cheapest decent borad and will oc nice like. But if you can afford it, a Asus sabortooth or gigabyte UD5. all the 990FX chipset boards

[DirtyLogics]

The m5 990fx has a vrm issue and will also throttle my 8350 according to customer reviews.

[DirtyLogics]

The gigabyte UD5 also throttles according to reviews.Is there a motherboard that doesn't throttle the 8350.About to switch to Intel.This sucks.

[Sauron]

An asus sabertooth will solve that problem, it isn't exactly cheap though. You may want to consider saving for an upgrade instead and roll with what you have as long as you can.

[DirtyLogics]

Please post what you would do in my situation , What would you upgrade to ?

I have the UD5 and a FX-8320 clocked at 4.6Ghz with 1.35v. Even at 1.45v it doesn't throttle. Whoever was complaining about this left the LLC on auto instead of Performance.

 

I should also add that my VRM doesn't get much airflow since my CPU is watercooled, so I was giving is a worse case scenario and it still didn't throttle.

[DirtyLogics]

Will definitely look into it Queen and I appreciate your input.

[dandrix]

Id reccomend any of the Asus 2nd revision 990FX chipset mobos, very well regarded line.

Bear with it until you can upgrade to an intel platform.

if you're a gamer sell this kit as is online to the most offering.

1. Asus crosshair V Formula Z    8+2 powerphase digi vrm, intel lan, shielded audio.
2. Asrock 990FX Extreme 9       12+2 powerphase digi vrm, intel lan
3. Asus 990FX Sabertooth R2.0  8+2 powerphase digi vrm.
4. Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0         6+2 powerphase digi vrm.

Here is a list in order of decent AM3+ 990FX boards that i would personaly recommend.

[Analog]

I really like the Asrock 990FX Extreme 9, because it is probably one of the most overbuild 990FX boards out there. The 990FX Sabertooth is also a very capable board. 

[D3MON]

Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3P
8+2 vrm, got me to 5ghz doesnt have crossfire/sli but has everything else you could want and is pretty much all black so goes with anything.

msi 970 gaming is a great board with sli and crossfire etc (actually a 990x chipset im betting) only has a 6+2 vrm but this is good for 4.5+ daily, have used 3 of these on separate builds and love it.
both boards

[Vrbas]

Honestly the best suggestion would to be just to sell both the MB and processor instead of buying another MB. With that money you could easily go Intel

[thebennyboy]

This would be my suggestion: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20

 

Has 6+2 power phases but strong ones at that. I have this board so can vouch for it.

[Faceman]

This.

 

This post is a tragic example of the fate that befalls too many FX owners.

 

Look at all that money saved. 

 

None.

 

I apologize to the OP, but this is a cautionary tale to all of those who think FX processors are a good deal.  For you, I think the best thing to do is sell the CPU and mobo on Craigslist, then invest your money into a locked i5 + compatible motherboard.

GO INTEL BB ITS THE SHEEEEEITTTTTTTT
