Motherboard for 8320 black edition well priced

FunkyFeatures · Mar 8, 2014

What is a good motherboard for overclocking the 8320?

I would prefer it to have a good price, but be good quality at the same time.
I prefer msi, gigabyte and asus boards, but others are welcome.
If possible, it should match my other red/black build.

You made the choice easy for me, the board is made by ASRock but don't be fooled, they are very good boards for the price and are exceptional performers for the price, and are high quality + Great OC capabilities as it is part of ASRock's Fatil1ty gaming series boards. MSI and AMD 8 core CPU don't mix, as their VRM's are not good with those processors.

I would get this and as a bonus it's Black/Red like you wanted;

ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer

It also uses the 990FX chipset, to get best performance from your CPU and overclocking capabilities from it also. Since you want to OC, the 990FX chipset is what you want and not the 970 or worse.

I am going with a very big air cooler, and i have heard that asrocks motherboards are quite thin and that it is a problem. Can you say anything about that?

unknownofprob · Mar 9, 2014

they are all of similar thickness, that motherboard can take a big CPU cooler, don't worry about that. That won't be a problem.

Edit; I know a total of 4 people with ASRock boards, and not one of them has a problem with large CPU coolers. The largest of which is a FRIO Extreme, which is a monster of a CPU cooler.

I heard it about the extreme motherboards from asrock. Thx for helping

unknownofprob · Mar 9, 2014

shouldn't be a problem, and if it were, most people would avoid them, and that isn't the case. the Extreme boards by ASRock are great choices and are as strong as other motherboards, they all have similar strength.

The extreme's aren't red and black though. lol. The fatal1ty series are. If you want the most ultimate one, http://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/fatal1ty%20990fx%20professional/ is even a step up. 12+2 VRM's would help with overclocking.

The fatality 990 fx killer is already a bit more expensive than i would have liked for an amd motherboard. Thx anyway

Then the extreme9, the Asus that I have I have no complaints over in my sig. It's blue and black though, so I got blue ram and a blue and black video card. l ol.

I have the EXTREME 9 and Sabertooth , great boards.

Asrock board is a little flimsy , but runs great , the Sabertooth is solid.

The extreme9 is even more expensive :/
If i should buy the extreme9 i could just as well get an i5 4670k with msi g45
How about the extreme 3?

8+2 Power phase design , great for the 8320 , it's a 970 chipset but decent.

Better price than the extreme 3 - Would you recommend it?

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 9, 2014

http://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/990fx%20extreme3/

Yes , I would the Extreme 3 pulled support for the 8320 and 8350 due to heat\thermal issues.
