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

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).

No, this board is only compatible with AMD processors, and then only AMD A series APU (such as the A6-5400k) processors.

It's not so much an issue with the CPU, I think what you meant to ask is will it work with your motherboard.

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.

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...

not sure,...i have the fx6200 on my board with no problems...i hope this helps

It depends more on the CPU than the motherboard, but you are unlikely to create a bottleneck with any middle or high-end FX processor.

If I remember correctly, it should take the FX-8320. If you go to the MSI web site and look up this mother board, they Do have a list of what CPU's will work with This MB. That would be your best bet, to make should this expencive CPU will work correctly! I have had no problem with the FX-6xx CPU using this MB... Good luck with your new computer :o) KG

The FX processors require a different socket than the Phenom so a new mobo will be required. It also has the video built on to the chip, ok but not the best. Check out Tomshardware.com.

Yes. That's what I'm using in it and it works great. The key thing with motherboards and CPUs is to make sure the socket type matches. Socket type is LGA 1150 in this case.

Yes the FX-8150 will run on the M5A99FX. I personally have the ASUS Crosshair V which has the same 990FX chipset and everything performs perfectly!

You need a separate card. The AMD FX line does not have integrated graphics.

Yes per http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme3/?cat=CPU it is a compatible.

The fx-8350 is an AM3+ socket and should work. However, my experience with this board is that I bought three of them, 2 I could not get the USB ports to work and the third would not operate at all. I then tried an ASUS board and had no issues at all.

Yes but it depends on what Amd fx you are going to be using. (Fx6350, fx6300), what kind of radeon 4850 and what kind of fans
