I'm starting to see so many Mix reviews on this board now that I have purchase it few more hours tell I get it. I have a fx4100 I don't plan on over clock so is this going be better then my MSI 760gm.

I use 4g x2 amd Ram 1333

in does the north bridge over heat only reason i chose this motherboard is because of the heat pipes connecting the north bridge

I have this motherboard, and the heat dissipation across it seems to be very good. I have had no issues with any part of it overheating, even with the CPU under extreme stress, in a case with not-so-great airflow.

You should be good to go :)

You can get the GA-970A-UD3P or ASUS M5A97 R2.0, even get the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0, the next lower class MB will be ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 or GA-78LMT-USB3 (r4.1) that can handle the fx4100 well.

For the GA-970A-UD3P or ASUS M5A97 R2.0, you can use them with fx8320 too.

Both suggestions above are good.

I have both the GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev. 1.0 and the GA-970A-UD3P.

There was one revision of the 990 UD3 that had a small, flat style northbridge heatsink. I think it was 2.0 or 3.0. These had overheating issues on the northbridge. But the Rev 1.0 and 4.0 are good.

If you plan to use just 1 high end GPU, get the GA-970A-UD3P. It is one of the few 970 chipset boards that has 8+2 phase power, and the BIOS has good OC features. 990FX is good for crossfire/SLI setups, but no real advantages above the 970-UD3P.

Recently got an FX 6350 up to 4.950 GHz stable on the 970-UD3P. Very happy with that board.
