If you have the cooling to handle it. Just remember to turn off LLC if temps run high.

i didnt test my mobo with the fx8350, am still having a phenom II 955, my board had 13.2 BIOS version, at the msi forum it said that it work good with the 8350 but this BIOS version it's only stable with win8. When i had win7 ultimate 64, i had crash many times with it

AMD FX 8320 consumes max 125W. So the answer to your question is yes. Just take care with the plugging since it is a modular psu. There are 6 of 12v rails. Try not to overload on a single rail and you will be okay.

It can be overclocked but like all overclocking you will want adequate cooling. Also note overclocking can and usually does result in some instability.

Definitely. I used an Athlon II (Propus) x4 645 prior to upgrading to FX 8320 (Piledriver), so it can handle anything in between. To ensure compatibility, always check with the vendor of the motherboard. To check for compatible CPU's, goto http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU, to see if your RAM is ok, check out http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory, and finally, if you're planning on multiple Graphics Cards: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=VGA&c;=2 Best of luck!

There is nothing that this CPU cannot run. Just because intel benchmarks higher does not mean this CPU is slow. I love my 8350 and will be using it for the next 5 years. Only Intel i7s are faster and you honestly have to go out of your way to notice the speed increase. It is not a day and night difference. Do not let anyone tell you differently.

Asrock doesn't list that CPU as supported on their website. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/?cat=CPU It might not be supported because of the high wattage on that CPU (220W). Other FX models that are 125W and 95W are supported though with a bios update.*edit* Actually looking under specifications this motherboard is only rated up to 140W so you would need a lower powered CPU for this motherboard. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/?cat=Specifications

I had my FX 8320 until, it was fine for the first day then i had overheating problems, it may have been because it was defective, now I replaced it with a FX 8350 and that is a solid cpu with no problems at all. The motherboard has to have at least 125 watts max tdp or more for it to work, check for that on your motherboard model on the web under specifications.

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

Yes on card drives and optical but no on CPU 8350 is a am3 not fm2 try MSI g series 970 or the 990fxgd80 ver 2

Yes. I'm running an i5 3570k at 4.2ghz, and that's .8ghz over stock. Idle temps are 30c, load is 60c. Don't expect to go buck wild but this will work for overclocking. Also, I recommend a push pull configuration for the best results.

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!.

I wouldn't overclock this CPU. It already consumes 230 watts and gets really hot

Probably. I have a 750 Watt psu and I run this card, an AMD fx 8350 clocked to 4.9ghz on all cores, 3 ssd, and a 3tb hdd.
