Over at the gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 owners club thread, people, over the course of 650 pages in the thread are bashing the fx-8350 paired with this mobo because of huge VRM issues causing overheating, leading to throttling of the CPU and warping of the mobo! BAAAAAAAAAAD
Now I bought my Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 at fry's 12 days ago and I have another 2 days to return it; however, I would not like to spend extra money because Im on a tight budget and the only other board at Fry's Electronics is an Asus MSA99X evo for $140 vs the $150 for my Gigabyte. So...is it a wise choice for overclocking my 8350 which I'm going to buy in a few days to return my mobo and get the asus one? WHich is better for overclocking an 8350?
