AM3+ Motherboard Overclocking

Daniel Coley · Nov 12, 2014

What is a cheap motherboard that I can overclock a FX-8350 up to 4.5GHz. I'm only running 1 GPU, so 1x PCIe is desired.

Well they don't make any AM3+ boards without an x16 slot and no AM3+ board offers PCIe 3.0.

On that note. You would be looking at an ASRock 990FX Extreme 3 on the low end to reach a 4.5Ghz clock.

Indeed. Not my favorite Mech, but a great picture. Cropped it a little for the forums.

I thought there was one, but I looked at the Crosshair thinking it was it.
