Is there a way to run AMD FX-9590 on this board? it is not listed on the supported CPU's. on ASROCK.com?BTW, I have Antec Kuhler 920pro.

Have you gone to the asrock site and looked to see if they have chat capabilities or even contact info. chances are they do and will answere this for you. personally i think it will work, but, i would check first.

It isn't listed on the support list but there is technically no reason it shouldn't. The board has solid VRM and handles high overclocks well. Those are Piledriver CPUs too. They're the same as the 8xx0 series so it should boot if you dropped it in. I'd give ASrock a call or write in to check.

Yes. The Asus sabertooth 990 supports AMD AM3+ FX™/Phenom™ II/Athlon™ II/Sempron™ 100 Series Processors. When in doubt always the check manufacturer website :). However might I recommend looking into an AMD FX 6300 or 6350. same price range, much more powerful and has equal or lesser power consumption.

Well, the best processor you can get for that board would be a Phenom II X6 1100T, and the board is more then capable of supporting it... CPU wise that would be the best, they are rare and not cheap as most are looking for about $250+ for a used or "like new" cpu... I bought a "like new" 1100T about 6 months ago and it works great and it beats some of the low end FX cpu's on the market today. Thing to keep in mind is that AM3 CPU's only support up to 1333MHz ram so if you're looking at beefing up more then just a CPU then you might want to get an AM3+ board with an FX processor so you can use ram up to 1866MHz...

I recieved my UD3 May 15th 2012. It was a rev 1.1 with a F4 BIOS. That is the minimum for FX support. All the boards that come out now should be at that or above. I would say buy it. Very nice board. I run a FX-8150 OC'd to 4.2 at 44.8C under load.Good luck and have fun.Just remember: You never finish building your computer...you just run out of money.Update: August 2014: I just bought another for a Livingroom HTPC and it is Rev 4.0 with the latest BIOS for the Rev 4 and it is F2. I plugged in an old FX 8150 and it works great.

I have a Rev1.x board with an FX8350 and haven't had a single problem with it. I had original bought the board prior to the FX release. When the release finally came, I wasn't impressed with the benchmarks and so kept my Phenom II in it. When the 8350 finally came out, I upgraded to it with my original board and its been smooth sailing every since.

the amd fx6100 will work on that board with no problems....if you are going to o.c. i would consider aftermarket cooling..

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 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

No you have to buy an AMD CPU that fits the socket on your motherboard. Look for a CPU with AM3+ or AM3 in the specifications. I believe the most powerful CPU that this board supports is 95 Watts so some of the really high end processors which use over 200 watts of power won't work. Either of the suggested CPUs suggested would work great in my opinion. The Phenom II's are getting hard to find but the FX models are plentiful. Please don't confuse the sockets, all these abbreviations can get confusing. An FM or FM2 socket based CPU won't work, for instance. Hope this helps more than hurts.

From www.service.asus.com, re. SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 supported CPUs: FX-9590(FD9590FHW8KHK, 4.7GHz, 8C, L3:8M, 220W,rev.C0,AM3+) PCB:ALL BIOS(min):1708 Due to the high TDP, please be noted there are limitations while using this CPU(i.e. special thermal required..)

Yes - I have it in an AM3+ motherboard right now. I even unlocked the 2nd core (although this is not a guarantee). Of course, go to your motherboard manufacturer's website. You'll find the list of CPUs supported. I would check there before I clicked the 'buy' button.

No, this will not run the AMD FX 9370 due to the fact that this boards pin set is completely different and the power requirements are different. This is a 970A board. If you were to run that 8 core off this board, you would only get 6 out of the 8. AND to top it off, you would have to go into the bios and edit the system to shut down two of the cores that are not getting power before loading your OS. Otherwise you may get an error code and it not load. IF you are wanting to run an 8 core AMD, you will need a 990 style MOBO

It will load and work right out of the box. i installed the FX8350 8 core pile driver and it worked. could not get a windows score thou so updated the bios to the new 2.0 and it worked. the new 2.0 bios is great it adds things to the board that are really nice. it's easy, just went to ASRock site and loaded the windows version for the new bios for this board. This is one of the best M.B. i have ever used. this thing is rock solid i hope this information helps you Ricardo. good luck with the new board.

Just off the top of my head I think that is a dual core processor. You could use it but there would be some bottle-necking. Isn't that CPU on an AM3 board? Why don't you upgrade to a FX CPU (quad core-still cheap options) and then do the HD 7850.

Hi, this motherboard is compatible with the 3.5ghz AMD FX-X8 (FX-8320)?? thanks.

No. Requires FM2+ socket. FM2+ boards will support OLDER cpus, but not the other way around.
