Does the 970A-g45 support the fx 8350?

More about : 970a g45 8350

It is an AM3+ seat so it will work with the 8350 however i suggest that you choose something with 990 chipset (instead of the 970 chipset this one uses.) for the best performance.

according to this it can support that CPU with a bios update.

that being said, I would not run an FX processor on this board due to its 4+1 vrm section. Those processors are very power hungry and can easily overheat lower quality boards, or boards not meant for such a power draw. There were also reliability issues regarding MSI's older boards so that is something else to look into before making decisions.

The MSI G43/45/46 are all suspect boards that have a potential overheating problem . Do not use any of them is the easiest fix


The 970 chipset is identical silicon to the 990 chipsets . Its just wired so it only supports one graphics card . Other than that it performs identically to the 990 chipsets
