djkillz Honorable Mar 19, 2013 197 0 10,760 Jan 2, 2014 #1 Just wanted to ask if upgrading from a fx 6300 to a fx 8350 would i have to do anything. Or just put the new CPU in and the system would make the adjustments automatic. This is my motherboard ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+.

Solution ssddx Jan 2, 2014 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/#support if using bios ver 1006 then should be able to drop right in. if using the older version on there then you may need a bios update first.

FromTheDepths Honorable Dec 25, 2013 94 0 10,660 Jan 2, 2014 #6 You seem good, though the FX 8000 series are notorious for running rather hot. It'd be wise to be running something other than the stock cooler. Upvote 0 Downvote
