Hi.
So, I've got a thing stuck in my head. I want to buy a new computer, starting with CPU+MB+RAM+HDD this month and a GPU over the next 2 months after I gather some more money. I would go for the 960GM-VGS3 FX motherboard from Asrock, because I don't really have money for something better, I want to invest more into the CPU and GPU instead of the MB. The thing is, I saw people that bought the 960GM-VGS3 FX and mounted the CPU I also want to buy, the FX-6300 from AMD, six-core 3,5 - 4,1 GHZ CPU on 95W, Vishera model and it worked for them altho... : I've looked up on the website about the CPU support list ( http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/960GM-VGS3%20FX/?cat=CPU ) and there is no Vishera model there. There are 95W CPUs from the AMD FX series but no the one I want to buy. So does it support it ? And beside that, is this CPU stable on a 4 pin motherboard or does it require an 8 pin motherboard ? I mean... on the CPU support list it shows that it supports 95W models so it should support this CPU too (The FX-6300) wich is the same 95W, right ?
Thanks
