Budget am3+ motherboard fx 83..

[gasolin]

Best budget motherboard for a fx 83.. cpu runing at minimum 4.5 ghz (noctua nh-d15)

prefer asus because of the good fan software other than that price is below 100€ which is less than 105$

Im not interested in knowing bottleck on gup amd/intel fan boy, that intel has better single core perfomance than amd........

I have a gtx 1060 6g i can max out dirt 3,need for speed shift 2 unleashed and bf1 runs fine

I want more power for everyday usage when i multitaske alot

Asus M5a97 (no digital vrm), Biostar TA970 Plus, Gigabyte 970 gaming or Msi 970 gaming  

[Morgan MLGman]

This one is great price/$ wise when you consider all its features, I had one like this, was absolutely great: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/mNfp99/asrock-motherboard-990fxkiller

 

[gasolin]

It's to expensive where i live in denmark 

 

Atm im considering asus Ma97 r2.0 ,gigabyte 970 gaming and msi 970 gaming

[gasolin]

then it's the msi gaming 970 im gonna get asus 970fx gaming aura is just over my bugdet

Can't you get the Asus 970FX gaming aura ? The gigabyte 970 and 990x gaming is trash i can say that right off the bat. The asus MA97 R2.0 its not at a comfortable position either only being 4+2 phases (albeit digi ones). The MSI 970 gaming edition is the best you have mentioned since it has an 8+2 power phase design, although i dunno how high it will clock, it should be pretty solid though, as its one of the few rare good 970 motherboards.

Make sure you know what you,re talking about before making recommendations.

MSI 970 gaming is a 6+2 VRM and the components are cheap it's no better than the MA97 R2.0 it just has a few extra ''gaming'' features like a killer nic and better audio chips...it's not a board i would recommend for FX-83XX overclocking...AT ALL...

 

if you want a solid but cheap overclocking board with a digital 8+2 VRM look at the Gigabyte 970a-UD3P i had that board and it overclock very well.

OP, if you want a solid but cheap overclocking board with a digital 8+2 VRM look at the Gigabyte 970a-UD3P i had that board and it overclock very well.

It doesn't have to oc very good like 4.8-5.1ghz as long as it's stable 24/7 at 4.5ghz on all cores as a max the 4.5 ghz im aiming for is max ghz i will disable turbo

[gasolin]

also depends on the chip, i have seen a youtube video where a guy had trouble getting a fx 8300 to 4.4ghz and here i thought all fx 83.. could go as high as 4.5ghz with a good mb

 

I don't care about looks as long as it's stable and can oc a fx 8300 to 4.5 ghz, i don't want my noctua nh-d15 to be to noisy

[gasolin]

i can get a Gigabyte 970A-UD3P with in my budget

 

I would also like to have a mb that can run my fans within there range for about 20% and up, don't remember how the fan software was with my old gigabyte socket 775 mb (q 6600)

[gasolin]

do i need to update the bios with an older cpu  to support an fx 8300 if i buy the  Gigabyte 970a-UD3P ?

[gasolin]

I found a way to get the Asus 970 Pro Gaming/aura so i ordered one (i love the asus fan software to much), how much oc potencial is there with this mb on a fx 8300 and a noctua nh-d15? Have a fractal design define r5 and 3x140mm nocuta pwm fans running 500 rpm,(200-250 rpm before i start to hera click sound for my and and where the air starts to be noticeable) i would like to stay under 900 rpm with my cpu cooler

[gasolin]

Glad i didn't buy the gigabyte card, if i had to have an old Phenom II to update bios so i could  use an am3+ fx8300, i would be .................

 

My case fans are about 200 rpm before i hear click sound,air noise, especially the rear exhaust fan start to make some noise, other than the noise from the air, at 700-750 rpm

no the UD3P board support all the FX CPU's out of the box, but the asus 970 pro is better than it.

[gasolin]

On gigabytes website 

 

To enable AM3+ AMD FX-Series CPU support, please update your motherboard with the most current BIOS found in your motherboard’s download section.

 

How is that possible if i only have a fx 8300?

I'm afraid I can't recommend any of those if you want to have a shot at 4.5GHz. I don't know Danish prices, but I can't find one I would recommend in Germany for less than EUR 100.

It does depend on your chip, though. If it's capable of reaching 4.5 stable at not-so-high voltages, it would reduce the stress on the VRMs. Based on my experience with a similar model (practically identical where it counts), I could tell you to try the ASRock 970A-G/3.1 (I'm running a 9370, with stock clocks of 4.4, on the 970 Fatal1ty, but I did need to reduce the stock voltage to something reasonable to prevent VRMs going above 100C).

In case it helps, I have a very small sample of 2 (two) CPUs, the 9370 and an 8370E, both running at 4.4GHz. I could lower the 9370 to 1.38v, while the 8370E is stable with 1.28v (on a Sabertooth - yeah, I know,m long story ). Hence, I have reasonable expectations you may at least get close to your goal on the ASRock (be sure to have something blowing overthe VRM heatsink).

I once had to rma a asus mb but i still love asus mb, never crashes when oc is stable and i can run my fans at minimum rpm making it super quiet or noisy and cooler

Stores should carry versions of the board with the updated bios by now, with that said the Asus is a much better buy.

always seems to me that even when theres 2 or more rev of a gigabyte mb, that every store in denmark only have rev 1

Have looked at that mb and according to the only review on the asrock website, the negatice,cons are  A little less performance, the average OC performance.

 

I do want to oc as much as i can keeping the temps under 60 degress, might only be stock turbo speed 4.2ghz

 

I have looked at the asrock 970 extreme 4 well within my budget, it's just got some comments about it getting hot, other than that (if it didn't had the heat issue) i would have bought one, since it surpose to perform really good and price is about 80€, my budget is max 100€, althought i found a way of to get the asus 970 pro gaming/aura for 120$ which isn't to bad

They are comparing to a 990FX Sabertooth R2.0, though. 

[Sintezza]

Asus 970A pro gaming / AURA.

pretty much the best 970 chipset board on the market today.

7+1 phase design from CHL.

 

8+2 phase boards basicly dont exists.

Unless they have used a dual IR or CHL pwm implementation.

But i cannot really remember that i have ever seen that on a AM3+ board.

But i´m not fully sure about the Crosshair V though.

i do have the analytic data somewhere.

 

We talk about 4+1 true phases doubled to 8+2 pwm phases in most cases.

There are no pwm´s used on modern motherboards today that offer more then 8 true phases.

And since in the case of AMD AM3+ you need atleast one imput rail for the Northbridge.

Thats where those +1 or + 2 phases are being used for.

Just goes to show you even when it's only a 970 chipset that is surpose to be slower than a 990fx that it's just a very good mb that can beat some of the 990fx mb

I have a MSI 970 Gaming + FX-8370 it runs nicely and it is at 4.4Ghz with stock voltage but I advice not to increase voltage on anything that has a 6+2 VRM or less tough...

Not every chip and mb oc the same some chips may oc better than other chips the same with a mb, it's just try to find the limited 

 

Limited is 60 degresse on the cpu so going for that, i hope i can get no less than 4.0 on all core.

 

 what about cpu cooler?

 

I have a noctua Nh-d15 it's a big cpu tower cooler, it blows air across the cabinet from my blueray drive to the exhaust fan, would it make sense to buy a cpu cooler that blows down on to the (not shure what you call it)   top of the plate,heatsink that is mounted on the cpu heatsink

 

Mabye noctua NH-L12 Or NH-C14S or would  the NH-l9x65 make a difference since the fan is much closer to the cpu than a NH-C14S, okay theres a big difference  on the fans so im not shure 

 

Also if 2 fans like on the NH-L12 makes a difference compared to the NH-L9x65 with only 1 fan but again blows air on to the cpu plate that is on the cpu heatsink instead of blowing air across the cpu tower

It depends a lot on the quality of VRM's and mosfets as well though, i have an Asus m599FX Pro R2.0, which has a Digi+ 6+2 power phase design and it can take a decent bump in voltages with no issue.
