Hi!
I bought the following PC:
Processor : AMD FX 8320
MOBO: Motherboard Asus M5A97 R2.0
PSU: XFX Pro 750w
RAM: Gskill Ares 2x8GB
Graphic card: MSI GTX760 OC
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
I´ve realized when I got the PC that the MOBO does not support SLi, which was something that I wanted. I still have not opened it so I will be asking the store to trade it for another MOBO.
These are the MOBOs that they have in store:
MSI 990FXA-GD65 - 108 € (seems that there are some issues with FX processors)
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 - 125€ (seems it is not designed for SLi)
Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer - 130€
(there is also the sabertooth, but I was hoping to avoid it since it costs 160€)
I'm planning to overclock the CPU up around 4.2~4.5Ghz, which board do you think it is best for my case?
BTW, I noticed that the Hyper 212 EVO already comes with a thermal compound and I bought the Noctua NT-H1. Do you think I can use the stock compound and return the Noctua?
