adenkarthak · Aug 23, 2014

hello guys,
i have recently assembled a cpu with msi 970a-g43 with processor amd fx 8350 and graphics card is msi amd r9 280x and ram is Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1/8G HyperX Blu 8GB 1600MHz 240-Pin DDR3 Non-ECC CL10 Desktop Memory and psu is corsair rm series Rm 650watts....what i wanted to know is whether my motherboard can handle my processor because i have read in lots of forums that this motherboard burns with overload of fx 8350 and the vram just insanely heats up...please suggest me as how far is it true...

Iam using amd fx 8320 with m5a97le r 2.0 its problem is chipset heating i recommend u to get a asus zabertooth they are best

and ur processer is 125watt and the board u saying wont support i think

The best board for performance per dollar for FX 8-core is the Gigabyte GA 970 UD3P :

EDIT : If you saw your Chipset overheating on HWmonitor, you can't rely on this read. HWmonitor has problem reading AMD temp Sensor and display wrong temperature. report to BIOS sensor for true temp.

Pierrerock is exactly right. Plus I read a few different reviews on newegg saying the board gets very hot and has poor power handling components around the CPU. I would stay away from it if it were me.

i will use it for like 6 months coz i have already bought it....and i'll switch to a gigabyte motherboard soon

hey which cpu cooler do u use????

pierrerock · Aug 23, 2014

The best cooler price/performance is the Cooler Master 212 EVO.

adenkarthak · Aug 23, 2014

if i dont overclock the processor will the mobo run fine?????

pierrerock · Aug 23, 2014

Yes it is designed to run at stock without overheating. so You should be fine

Deep cool gammax 200

The G43 , G45 , G46 should never be pared with a FX8320 or 8350.

adenkarthak · Aug 23, 2014

what are the consequences if i use this motherboard with fx 8350 and r9 280x? i mean is there a possibilty of processor failure or gpu failure? please reply thank you

adenkarthak :

Because they are intel chipsets

they wont support amd

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 24, 2014

No , they are AMD , but they have poor power and thermal designs.

Gbz Goldenboyz · Aug 24, 2014

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 24, 2014

Gbz Goldenboyz · Aug 24, 2014

I have purchased this mobo MSI 970-G430 for my fx 8350 which i previously using with ASUS 970 rev 2.0 and it run fine for three years and one day it stopped working...
I have just used this new mobo MSI for 25 days and now it is also stopped working. I just do minor editing and dont play games..... I do not have service center near to my town.
I will not recommend to use this mobo with fx 8350 to anyone.... I am in great loss.
