Hey everyone ,
So I'm planning on upgrading my CPU from a AMD FX 4170 to a FX 8320 and was wondering if my motherboard would work with this CPU. I've done some research and found that both CPUs use an AM3+ socket and both use 125W, but a friend was saying that it may not work despite the power a socket requirements being the same. Is this true or will it work fine?
Many thanks,
Matt.
