Hi all looking for some help/advice with my first ever PC upgrade #yay
So I'm 99% sure this is the Motherboard I own.
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3967#
I have already updated the bios about a year ago, to the most current version FC, but still finding myself needing some more power, and decided its time to upgrade the CPU. The compatibility list on the official website ends with the FX-8140 which has been discontinued.
So my question is, would any of the current AM3+ socket FX CPU's work in this motherboard?
I saw somewhere else that if I have the right version mobo and bios updates to the most recent, that the newer CPU's from the same series should work. Will they? Currently looking to buy either a FX-8150, 8320, or 8350. Or even a 6100 if thats the only option.
As you can see I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new Mobo as that is hopefully a further down the road upgrade. Any help or information is appreciated
