just re-insuring, this will be compatible with amd fx 8320?

Yes it will work with a AMD3+ Amd2+ amd2 although I am using it on a Inte LGA1155!

Yes , I bought the motherboard and it was compatible. If you plan on doing the work yourself , the old motherboard is labeled so check that first

If your motherboard previously had or currently has an Intel processor in it, this AMD processor will not work. You will have to replace your motherboard with an AMD-compatible motherboard in order for it to function. Even then though, the top-of-the-line CPU from AMD costs about the same as this one, which is several years old. So if you're going with AMD (which I would recommend, especially if you're on a budget) get a motherboard that supports AM3+ processors and get the AMD FX 8350 processor to put inside it. It would be much faster, and excluding the cost of the motherboard, it would be about the same price.

You can go to pcpartpicker.com and plug in your rig. It will tell you if everything is compatible. Worked great for me. Hope this helps.

So long as your board has an available PCI-Express x16 slot (A board that supports AM3+ would appear to be new enough to have at least 1) you should be good to go.

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.

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

It should be compatible. Both the board and the CPU use AM3+ socket. For the incompatibility alert, did you check that you have enough power from the PSU?

No, this board is for AM3+ and AM3 processors only. That means FX series, but they work great. I use a 7970 and haven't had trouble playing games, but if you have large graphics requirements (I have a 1440p monitor OC'd to 120hz), you might need SLI/Crossfire setups, which need more cpu punch. I am personally confident however that an 8350 with this board should handle dual graphics setups without difficulty.

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

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

yes it will work with the 8350, as for over clocking I am not so sure, even with my corsair h80, I have not really tried to OC the board or my cpu yet.

By the way look at the user manual that is available online so you can verify if is compatible with the processor you want

It should work, AMD MB so its ATI compatible. See http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/

It will support any AM3+ CPU including the FX series with a BIOS update. I prefer never to use onboard video as for it uses physical RAM for it's video memory. I would recommend a small cheap AMD GPU to go with the board.

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

The answer to your question is yes. You can find the compatible processors in this link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU
