I'm planning to get this board with the FX-8350. Will the processor work out right out of the box? Thanks!

Yes it will, but plan on getting a better cooling device. This bad boy gets hot!!

Yes plug and play, amazon even updates the bios in their tech support office before they even send it, its a great motherboard but i went with asus M5A99FX evo for 10 bucks more instead only because it has more fan connectors and such. i have a 240mm radiator and 6 fans so i needed more connectors but its one of the best motherboards in its price point. Great looking also.

It'll work just fine. The FX8350 is uses the AM3+ socket, and the 990FXA accepts AM3+ without a problem. Just make sure you have a decent cooler and a video card since the board does not have onboard video or onboard video out (no HDMI, no DisplayPort, no DVI, nothing).

After installation of all the components, mine fired up right away. I did check for a BIOS update but this thing was ready to go! Haven't fooled with any OCing yet but it runs several MMOs really well. I've had mine for several months so far and it runs very well.

BTW go with an aftermarket cooler for that 8350, i have the exact same cpu and it runs quite a bit hotter then any cpu i've ever owned but if you can manage to keep it nice and cool its performance will amaze you.

doubt it i went with a 6300 series which is also a fx , you have to use a older processor to update bios first which i tried to do and still could not get it to crank up so i gave up and am using a older processor in the motherboard :(

It's hard to answer this without more detail on your setup (motherboard, memory, overclocking, etc), but my experience with this chip in a different build is that it's borderline - you may max out cores. If you're thinking about buying this chip now (that is - you *don't* already own it) I'd suggest getting the FX-8320 instead, which only costs a little more, runs cooler, and responds well to overclocking (I've been running both of these chips with Evo 212 coolers at 4.5GHz for several months 24/7 and the FX-6350 runs MUCH hotter).

This DOES in fact support AM3+ processors (such as the FX-8350) if you choose to install the 3029 Beta BIOS from Asus's own website. Myself and many others have done this successfully without issues or instability. Also had no problem overclocking the FX-8350 to 4.7GHz with the stock cooler on this board.

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

ASROCK Extreme 9 can definitely handle the FX9000 series. ASrock promotes this on their website. I would get at least an 850W PSU though. Think 8350FX overclocked ALL the time! I have owned this motherboard for well over a year, not one glitch!.

Yes it is. I actually bought both of them and it works perfect! You should check anyway the max ram frequency that your cpu can take. Ex: i bought fx8320 and it can take up to 1866MHz. Check that. But the RAM and mobo work!!

It will work nicely with that board, it'll be clocked down to 2.0. From what I understand, only intel currently supports 3.0; AMD does not yet have any chipsets that support PCI 3, but you wont notice any difference in performance by using it in the PCI 2 slot. I have an AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera on a system paired with this card and couldn't be happier.

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...

Yes but if you are building a custom pc I suggest using the AMD fx 8350 am3+ eight core processor for $30 more on a am3+ 990fx or a 990fxa motherboard
1789845
yes it should...this mbd is rated for the FX processors and that includes the 8 core ones too...I run the same cpu...the video card should work as well, altho you should be sure the case you select has enough room for the video card...

I would say a sound no, as this cooler is rated for a 70 watt TDP, and the FX-8350 is rated as a 125w processor. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for my 8350, and it works great. I recommend buying a cooler that's rated for a 125w TDP processor from any vendor, including Arctic, Cooler Master, Zalman, Noctua, etc.

Hello Steven, yes, according to GIGABYTE it does support your FX 8370 /Bios version F8f. Check the following link: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3907

David, this AMD FX-8150 8-Core Black Edition Processor Socket AM3+ FD8150FRGUBOX comes with a CPU fan and but liquid cooled can be used. This processor will work only on a AM3+ board. Yes of course all features will be provided if the board you choose supports the features. If you don't plan on over clocking just use the supplied fan.

Mine works great with it and I have overclocked. The board is a beast and I have had nothing but a positive experience with it.
2205650
Yes, you can use the fx-8150 CPU within a AM3+ motherboard. I am currently running this setup so i know 100% it has 0 problems. Liquid cooler is a must for overclocking. The stock air fan is loud but, the liquid cooler is a much needed improvement. Go with this you cant go wrong great value with this setup. My processor windows rating is 7.8 with overclocking to 4.3GHz.

Yes. I'm running a FX-8350 overclocked to 4.7GHz on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 and all 32GB are running at 2000 stable. I haven't tried to push the memory any farther, really no reason too.

The FX-9590 uses an AM3+ socket which is supported by this motherboard. However you should confirm with Gigabyte if their BIOS will support the new processor. Just because the socket is supported, doesn't mean the BIOS is supported.
