Motherboard for 8350

rohitsharma359 · Sep 19, 2014

Hi all,

I am looking for a motherboard to pair with AMD FX-8350, I can either buy ASROCK 970EX3 (Rs. 6309), ASROCK 970 EX4 (Rs. 7321), I am on a tight budget and can spend around Rs. 8000 (app $130). Currently I have AMD Raedon HD 6570 2GB, but m planning to upgrade to R9 270X.
I will not be overclocking highly, might be 5-8%. Any other suggestions of motherboards in this range will also be helpful.

Thanks

anything with 6-8 power phases for the CPU will be good for that chip, if you do intend to OC even a little, that is. Some boards with 4 phases will run the chip but can throttle because the heat (causes by stressing fewer VRMs higher)

wrong. this board is 4+2 power phase, worked well for my FX 6300 but for the FX 8 core he wants 6-8 power phases.

gigabyte 970 or M5A99FX pro / M5a97 EVO

If you had a bigger budget this is a great option

Well Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P will cost me around 5553 bucks. While M5A99FX PRO & EVO both will cost me more than double i.e. 11600 bucks. While The GIGABYTE-GA-970A-UD3P-AM3-SATA is around 13450 bucks. What do you guys suggests??

Also, I have checked M5a97. It's 4+2 Power phase motherboard. Therefore I am skipping it.

imho you should check Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 (6+2 Heatsinked VRM) for Rs7814. Its an usual overclockable motherboard for overclockers in a tigh budget. I cannot see any other option for your price range.

PS. My other post (Rs6300 mobo) shows M5A97 EVO R2.0 picture too. Maybe its a cheaper M5A97 EVO R2.0. Maybe not. Anyway M5A97 EVO R2.0 is still your best option at this price range.

I have a Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 and it's very stable combined with a amd fx 8350.
