So buy into a new cooler or new mobo ?

(which first)  -Thanks

motherboard, if this one fail your CPU has like a good 50-50% chances of dying with it...and you can't even use it for any prolonged loads or the CPU will always trottle...what you have there is an unuseable kit unless you undervolt and underclock the CPU to the point where it will not trottle anymore.

You're not the first, most people going AMD FX are people who want the ''bang for the buck'' deal of the year and they do no research neither on what is required to properly run such power hungry CPU's and/or the performance they can realisticly get out of them and at what cost. So they end up thinking they get a good deal on those outdated ''8 cores'' (!!) and they pair them with cheapest motherboard possible and use the abysmal cpu cooler included in the box and in the end they end up with something that is worst than say a core i3 on a cheap H series motherboard.

 

That motherboard you have is meant to run a stock FX-4300 for example...not much more than that.

 

Does your case support ATX sized motherboard? cause if it does not your in deep...no good mATX board can support FX-8350 unfortunately.

Don't know how many cheap>non-cheap older gen X4/x6 AM3 boards I've seen with a FX sticker slapped on the box AFTER the board came out, with a bios update..

No doubt not the only one who saw this trend...Supports NEW CPU's, just can't run them properly due to cheap board vrm's and power delivery components.

 

Some people read the sticker that it "Supports" AMD-FX and thats it........think its a steal.. without actually looking into it further.

it supports FX...FX-4300 at stock is what it support...there is a reason why there are 38$ motherboards and 158$ motherboards... :)

That is the cheapest board in the UK right now that would have you solved:

I own this board, it's decent and good for overclocking, UEFI is garbage though just like every other gigabyte boards on the market but you can easily deal with it and it will not trottle your CPU i was overclocked to 4.6ghz at 1.45v on an FX-8320 on that same board and it never trottled.

it's an 8+2 digital power phase motherboard.
