best motherboard for am3+ cpu (amd fx 8350 Black Edition) (no budget)

Solution


Could be i was just speaking on experience. I've never owned a formula z nor do i know anyone who does. I thought about listing that but then i wanted to give you a motherboard I've personally been using in my new build for the last year. To be honest i looked at that board also, but decided on the sabertooth since it was about $100 cheaper at the time I bought it. I personally love this motherboard and it makes it so easy to overclock and customize settings. To each his own, I imagine the formula z is really good also since its asus and that hefty price tag.

By the way, the Formular Z is also the only motherboard from Asus, that supports the FX 9xxx Series, even with extremly good overclocking capabilities for these beasts. The Sabertooth wouldn't be capable of that, the connections of the Motherboard would just burn through (I have seen already one where the guy tried it, boom, Mobo dead).

Not sure if you read the title of the thread or not but he's going with the 8350. So either board with work. Also the sabertooth is good for overclocking also.
