AMD mother board

[GeneralCanadian]

Im planing on getting a AMD FX-8350 (dont try and shove me tords intel) and i cant seem to find a MATX mother board that has 6Gb/s SATA ports and a 16x pci slot

[HappilyInsane88]

ive built simliar i looked there isnt one that im aware of with both of the things you require

Well i guess ill just have to get a new case can you recomend one thats within the 30 to 50$ range.

there are no mATX boards for the 8 cores FX cpu`s. they all are with 4 power phase no VRM cooling. the cpu will throttle and the board would be dead under a year. max fx4300 if you want amd. otherwise go intel

[brokencross]

Asrock 970M Pro3. It also supports your cpu since it's 4+1 power phase.

Ive allready looked at this board and it doesn't support FX seires processors

Yes it does.

Yes it does.

allright thanks man

im using one for the gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 doesnt throttle

good find

thats the problem. also it doesnt have VRM cooling . for fx 8 cores you need at least 970 chipset,6+2 power phase and vrm cooling

 

so i repeat there are no mATX boards for fx 8 cores

[CoolaxGaming]

Yes it does.

WTF.

A 4+1 VRM DESIGN IS NOT GOOD.

 

allright thanks man

DONT BUY IT, THE GUY IS BULLSHITING U

3+1 VRM isn't good for 8 cores, 4+1 is.

Get your shit straight.

There are loads of people using the 8350 with that same mobo, just google before starting spewing random shit.

no 4+1 and naked VRM are not good for 8 core FX. you should google and see how many problems ppl have with those boards

Some people do, some don't. Not everyone OCs.

My old 4+1 mobo throttled my 8320. There is a good article on ocn about it.

Also u don't even have an and system...

Nobody is reporting throttling issues with that mobo.

AMD Platforms on high TDP (~125W) processor (includes unlocked CPUs):

Remember, you can refer to the AMD Motherboard VRM info database for info about specific motherboards (see link above)

Look for a minimum quality 4+1 phase on the board for use with high TDP processor. Higher is better though.

Be SURE it is of quality; if so,

Preferably low RDS (on) transistors

A proper transistor design and proper transistor amperage rating

On a brand that is not known for VRM failures.

If you are overclocking with a high TDP processor and a 4+1, consider MOSFET/VRM cooling a MUST. Some boards may already have this. Fewer phases will overheat much easier and be more prone to failure.

If you have enough budget to get a board with a better, larger VRM system (i.e. 8+2 phasing or similar) and/or room for larger board size (mATX boards are typically fitted with inferior VRM designs due to limited space), there is not much need to worry.

Cooling is no longer as big an issue because the larger amount of (smaller) transistors can run cooler over a larger area as they have no need to handle as much current.

"Based on the AMD 970 chipset, and built to be priced well under $99, the 970M Pro3 supports AMD FX processors with TDP of up to 125W (that excludes FX-9000 series)."

Where u got that from?
