I bought this motherboard without too much research.I was in hurry actually :)

Many people saying its a bad choice.So i wanted to learn whats wrong

Does this harm the system or do i suffer from something bad if i use them together

What should i do?I just bought motherboard so buying a new one will become costly forme

You're probably right, your best bet is to put an FX-6300 in it (6300 is not much worse than 8320)

Or you could have a look at trying to install your own VRM Heatsinks but you seem like someone who is a beginner in building PC's and so getting an FX-6300 would be the simplest solution.

That said if you're current using the board with an FX-8320(I thought you were upgrading to an FX-8320) I would look at trying to add VRM heatsinks to the G46.

I wouldn't use them together.

The MSI 970a boards are notoriously bad at handling 125W TDP processors 8320/8350 the most I would use it with is a FX-6300 and even then not dare to overclock.

Why don't you return the MSI G46 for a refund? how recently did you buy it?
