would this be good for good gaming if not what will my motherboard specs Socket AM3+; Supports 64-bit AMD FX/ Phenom II X6/X4/X3/X2/ Sempron Proces

I had my FX 8320 until, it was fine for the first day then i had overheating problems, it may have been because it was defective, now I replaced it with a FX 8350 and that is a solid cpu with no problems at all. The motherboard has to have at least 125 watts max tdp or more for it to work, check for that on your motherboard model on the web under specifications.

"Yes" to both questions.It's AMD's big AM3+ chip so it will almost certainly fit the motherboard. Gaming performance is mostly dependent upon the video card and RAM, not the CPU, so this is as big of a CPU as you would need for any game. It's an excellent choice for a gaming rig.

Very good for gaming thats what I use myn for and when running battlefield 4 this thing isnt even running at 60 percent it will handle just about anything you throw at it

I mother board specs are great, this would be very good for gaming, that is what I use mine for and it runs great. I really think that you will be very surprised on what you get for the money with this AMD processor.

of course. This is a great motherboard and include support to latest AMD® Socket AM3. I buy another motherboard with this processor, but this one is much better.

Yes the CPU works? But it's all on the question if you're motherboard can support am3+ and support 125watt CPU"s . I'm not sure what motherboard you have so I cannot answer much. Idk if this is a 125watt CPU but still

I would say you will be alright. I am running a GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3 with a ASUS GTX760 GPU with no issues.

As long as it is AM3+ socket, u will be able to use it. And for what I know, the GA-970A-DS3P motherboard is socket AM3+. But I recommend buying a better motherboard, though.

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

If your motherboard can support the FX series CPUs then they might be worthlooking into. Myself I'm very happy with the Phenom II X4 965.This thing is more than fast enough for my needs even at thestock 3.4Ghz speed. I had it overclocked to 4.0Ghz for awhileand had no issues with overheating or stability running WINXP PRObut some games, GTA IV for example would cause BSODs so I justset it back to stock speed and it works great.

Yes it will. It works with am2/am2+/am3/am3+ I'm using a athlon II x2 260 CPU at 3.2ghz and works just fine.

It is a value motherboard rather than a performance mobo. If you have a tight budget and want a fully AMD solution than, sure, it is "good for gamin". The AM3+ designation gives you processor choices, it has USB 3.0, plenty of SATA III ports, has SATA II ports if needed, even has an IDE port, has gigabyte lan, is easy to work with and somewhat elegant in its simplicity. So it is "white bread" but will meet the average gamer's needs.

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.

The motherboard user guide says that the AM3 socket is designed for AMD Phenom II / Athlon II / and Sempron 100 series processors. You may want to check the ASUS website for any updates to the vendor list or additional specifications.

It should work but it is best to go to the Motherboard web site and check the compatibility. You can also go to the AMD site and check.

yes this motherboard will support any of the fx series cpu's as it supports up to 140 volts. there is no bios updated needed plug and play. it will also support any of the older am3 cpu's as well

Yes it should as it says it supports AM3/3+ and the fx9370 is a socket Am3+ if you case will allow it as it is huge but be warned it a hot running chip sucking up 220watts compared to Intel 4470k 84watts and this is important as each watt need to be cooled so if you want that CPU I seriously suggest water cooling

I'm not sure figure out what motherboard you have and if you have an intel or AMD compatible socket if it's an intel you wont be able to fit an AMD and you will have to get another motherboard. I believe a AMD processor usually uses a "AM3" or "AM3+" socket.

Hello Larry. If you can use it with AMD A-6 and also can with an A-4, A-6, A-8 and A-10. Motherboard I bought this in December 2013 and am using a 5600K A-8 And 8GB memory and so far is going great. I recommend it 100%. Greetings from Dominican Republic.

it is compatible with that CPU ... is a very decent cpu for gaming you will have no problem running any game in high settings.
