Asrock 990FX Extreme3 vs Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0

JDPC · Mar 29, 2014

New PC Build. I was going to go with the Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 as I was going to overclock the FX 6300 to about 4.2ghz but found the Asrock and it has a 990fx north chipset. Would it make a big difference? It's only a bit more money.......

XFX 650w
Corsair XMS3 4gb
AMD FX 6300

Thanks

For future upgrades Asus would be better because Extreme3 doesn't support 8320~8350 CPU's due to thermal issues!
And try to get M5A97 Pro R2.0.

Is the Pro better than the Evo? If so, how is it better?

JDPC :

Evo is better than Pro, Ive confused sorry
Just I want to get 840 Pro SSD and I think only about Pro

JDPC :

So think about M5A97 EVO R2.0 because ASRock doesn't support FX-8230 and FX-8350 CPU's

Yeah, I think I'll go for the M5A97 EVO R2.0
