I see that it says for intel sandy bridge but can it be used with a AMD fx series cpu?

It should. But I would check the other ripjaws just in case. I had a pair of these in my AMD build but they were the red pair. I swapped over to Intel and now I have both blue and red so I dont see why they wouldn't work
1041953
Yes. Ram is not CPU specific. My build uses an AMD fx 8150 and I use 16gb of gskill ram (2x8gb). You should be able to buy 16gb for $110-$120

Yes, no problem. It is just optimized to work with Sand Bridge, but it also works with AMD cpu.

The AM3+ socket would likely support the FX 8370 processor; however this board comes with a host of other issues: screwy BIOS (v3.0 mb) IOMMU set to off-must be turned on, boot sequence defective-will not proceed to HD boot if set to boot from optical and no media present, UEFI randomly re-orders drives-must be checked with every change. More trouble than its worth.

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

PC Partpicker says it's compatible. Intel's memory controllers on this board have a wide compatability compared to AMD based boards. I had to choose a different set of RAM for my ASUS sabertooth 990fx because of it, even though the memory worked just fine in my Asrock 990fx.

This chipset can handle up to the fx 8xxx processors. If your ever needing compatability issues, wikipedia, and pcpartpicker the website works wonders.

I am using it on my Gateway FX gaming laptop CPU (Intel T9300). It works great.

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

AMD and Intel use different socket types. You will need a different motherboard for each. The i3 will need a "LGA 1150" motherboard and the AMD will need a "Socket FM1" motherboard. It looks like you could use the same RAM if you were to upgrade the motherboard and processor, and chances are most of the other parts would be compatible with a different motherboard as well.

Yes they are compatible. They are both AM3+ sockets. If you are doing a new build and not just updating your processor, I would recommend going with an FM2 processor and board. The AMD APU processors are really fast, and don't get as hot. If you decided to stay with this processor, make sure you have an exhaust fan, it does get hot in the case with the stock fan. This processor runs fast and hot under loads. If you plan on over clocking, get a bigger heatsink and fan!Hope this helps!

My 2 cents... All AM3 and AM3+ designated CPU's are pin compatible, however, the '+' in the AM3+ designation means that the FX series of processors can take advantage of the enhanced power management and support features available on AM3+ motherboards (and some that only needed a BIOS upgrade to make them FX/AM3+ compatible). The '+' features lend stability and added power for serious over-clocking. In other words, the FX series can plug into any AM3 motherboard, but unless it is designated as an AM3+ motherboard (or FX/AM3+ compatible), you can't expect to take advantage of its Bulldozer enhancements. IMO, it's doubtful whether an FX processor can perform to its potential on a motherboard that is simply 'BIOS upgraded' to AM3+ compatibility.

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

It is compatible with sandy bridge and ivy bridge if the bios is updated to a certain revision. If not you can actually update the bios with a pen drive without a CPU installed.

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.

I run mine with the FX-6300 and Gigabyte MB as well. It should work, it's not ultra fast stock.

Yeah it should work, Athlons use FM2 socket and in the description of the motherboard it supports AMD Athlon ^^

I don't have this plugged into an AMD board. You should just need to have compatible OS and Drivers installed for it to work. With an AMD processor you wont be able to take advantage of the Intel WIDI feature but it should work.

Hey there my friend, thank you for counting on me. And yes the Xeon E3-1240 Sandy Bridge is fully compatible with this Motherboard.
