motherboard for 8320. specifics inside.

Levistus · May 28, 2014

Hello i'm trying to build a new computer. with the help from the graphics and displays forum i chose to buy the amd 8320 and the sapphire 280x toxic. the problem now is the motherboard.

i don't plan to use crossfire and i will oc my cpu a little with a hyper 212x. so i just need a reliable motherboard for that.

thanks!

Either Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P or Asus M5A97 R2.0.

I vouch for the Gigabyte; It has an 8+2 phase power design.

Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0 Great vrm cooling heatsinks. Nothing holding you back from reaching your chips max oc potential. Other than the chip and cooling, but motherboard is top end.

+1 for the gigabyte UD3P

Currently on sale on NewEgg for $85 or so with a MIR taking it down to $75

I just built with that board and an FX 6350. 4.950 GHz stable, 4.8375 GHz 24x7. Great VRM and chipset cooling. Extreme LLC. Good OC features, clock, voltage and multi control for everything.

970 chipset on a quality board is fine for a single high end GPU. You only need 990FX for crossfire / SLI where you need 2x PCIe slots @ x16.

If you want a 990FX board, the ASRock Killer SR-71 linked above is also at a great price right now.

i plan to get a fractale design r4 although i;'m not sure yet if there are other ones that are good at that price.

swifty_morgan · May 28, 2014

didn't know if you had one or not. wanted to make sure proposed motherboards would fit...

cin19 · May 28, 2014

Corsair 450D or 400R will be within the same price range.

Levistus · May 28, 2014

sucks that i can't find a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P here only DS3 and DS3P. as for the Asus M5A97 R2.0, we only have the LE. i'm really trying to avoid the asus m5a99fx pro r2.0 cause i dont think i need it so at least i can get more budget for an ssd.

cin19 · May 28, 2014

How about the asus M5A97 EVO R2 or Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, and if other 990 chipset MB is out of your budget, then you are better to buy the fx6300 instead of the fx8320, because you need a good MB that has enough power phase to power the FX8 series cpu, otherwise the PC will not run stable.
