Hey guys, 2 days ago my fx 8350 arrived and i wasnt that impressed with the performance and how well/easily it was to overclock. I was also getting a throttling problem even though all power saving features were disabled.
After much research i have found the culprit of these problems to be my motherboard, an Asrock 970 extreme 3.
I would like some advice and suggestions on which new motherboard would suite the fx 8350 at around 4.5ghz without breaking bank.
These are some boards ive seen;
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 1.2)

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 (rev. 1.x)

SABERTOOTH 990FX

My budget is around £120, but i can probably stretch is another £20.
At the moment im thinking that the Sabertooth is the best choice.
But is the cheaper 970/990 UD3 boards can handle it ill go for one of those.
