The 8350 doesn't appear in their CPU support list (ver 1 of mobo)

do you think it would push the motherboard to hard and fry it?
FX-8350 ISN'T supported with Gigabyte 970A-DS3 Tradesman1 stated. If you not afraid to drop a little more cash on a motherboard i'd suggest a Sabertooth 990fx, its the one i use and i love it. plus it comes with 5 year warranty,
