Is the AMD FX-8350 compatible with the Gigabyte 970A-DS3 motherboard

Solution
Fry might be an apt word, will want eggs handy ;) you never know though, it's often the mobo won't be able to deal with the voltage needs of the 8350

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,
