Hello. I have a bunch of old computer parts sitting around from a previous build. The other day I realized that the only thing I need to build a system out of the old parts is a motherboard. As you have probably figured out, the cpu I'm using is an AMD FX-4170. I went on newegg looking for the cheapest AM3+ Motherboard I can find. I found this one
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=1428&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=115&LanID=9
I checked the CPU support list and the FX-4170 isn't listed. I am wondering if this will be a problem or not since I'm pretty sure the 4170 is just a binned and factory OC'ed bulldozer chip with no actual difference from any of the other quad-core bulldozers.
So, is this a problem or not?
Thanks!
