Does it work well with an AMD FX-8350? What if turbo core is enabled?

I bought one of this to use on a dual core CPU. It does it's job as expected, throws out lots of air and it very good at reducing several degrees from the CPU. However, if you are planning to purchase a cooler for an Eight Core AMD FX, this is not your fan. For a CPU like yours I recommend you to get a watercooler. I have the same cpu as you and got a coolermaster Seidon for about $60. AMD cpus overheat a lot, so I would stay away from air cooling if I were you

No, this only works for AMD processors that fit a AM3+ socket (ex. FX-8350).

your question is a yes i have a amd 8150 and it works and it works great i am going back to my frio i got one of them corsair h100i and i am sorry i do not like it the frio does very well

I have this board and the 8350. It works with the latest 2 bios updates, but if you want to overclock you need to get water cooling and a 990fx. I have been able to get 4.4 stable oc, but that is not all that great for this chip, and these chips run a lot hotter than the phenoms did.

update your bios first then buy and install the AMD FX-8350 .according to asus weebsite http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p;=1&m;=M5A87&hashedid;=Sy2zparhZzfQeQp0it should work with the original bios. buy here AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor

I was running this with an AMD FX 6100, 16GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, and ATI Radeon 7770 Gigahertz, and I was getting a lot of dropped frames and BSODs. I mostly blame the FX 6100. I have upgraded to the FX 8350. I would recommend, that if you're going to use and AMD FX CPU, get a MB with the 900 series chipset, fast quality RAM, and spend money on a good GPU. You get what you pay for with the GPU.

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.

Yes, since the CPU is a FM2 chip, it will work, but remember that you can only install cpu's with quad cores or less

Yes it is. I use it with my fx series 4300 CPU, and it works amazingly. Great choice for mid-upper level gaming with AMD

It will acept all am3+ cpu's. So any amd fx serieres processors minus the 9000 series due to voltage regulator limitations. I owned the fx 4350 and was able to overclock this little beast to 5gHz in a gigabyte motherboard. So a very good combo you are looking at.

W7 OS amd fx 8 core. Card works like dream. The program that comes with it allows fan speed adjustments. Enjoy. :o)

Yes, perfectly. Been running the FX-8320 in this mb for morre than 2 years. It does use more powwr than a similar benchmarked Quad i5 (2500K). About 10 watts more on average. So if you plan on using it in a Media Center PC or something running all the time you'll pay a bit more in electricity. However the upfront cost savings on the AMD was $50 less than the i5 at the time. There might be a largr delta in price now, the i5's seem to have gotten more expensive. There is also a FX-8320E which is less expensive and sips a lttile less power because of it's lower base frequency. It turbo boosts to the same peak frequency though, so probably the same performance. Yes, perfectly. Been running the FX-8320 in this mb for morre than 2 years.

I really don't know... I mated mine to an AMD FX 8-core 3.0ghz cpu... with 32gig system RAM... don't worry about 'bottlenecks'... -=grin=-

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.

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

yes i run AMD FX4300 and it is a 95watt cpu. its a great board for a tight budget

it should, as it supports AMD 8 core processors, the only thing I would say is make sure it is on the correct/ approved list. make sure you have approved ram too, my motherboard kept crashing until I figured out the ram wasn't on the list. I have an FX-8350
