What reasonable priced mobo is good for FX 8350 and GTX 970?

Dean2099 · Mar 17, 2015

Title says it all. Also it would be great if the motherboard supports sli as i plan to have two gtx 970's in the future. Please don't tell me to go Intel, i would love to but i just don't have the money do replace both my cpu and mobo.

Thanks for all advice and recommendations !

asrock 990FX Extreme3, I don't recommend it because it has only 4+1 power phase count, you need the MB has more power phase count to run fx8350 stable.

at the price of the gigabyte 990fx ud3 rev4 that's hard to beat with the 220w support

It has 8 pins and I'm running an FX 8350 oced to 4.2 ghz stable with aftermarket cooler, havent tested yet with prime 95..either way no problems

Here in the UK the GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ is more expensive than the asrock 990fx

well with the asrock my buddies son has the extreme 9 and he claims he good with it but now asrock has the extreme 6 that's near the same as the Fatal1ty , but the Fatal1ty don't support the 220w chips that I remember and the extreme 6 does so there not as the same as reviewers claim .. so the 6 may have better binned parts to get the 220w support ???

i have been checking reviews everywhere else and apparently 990fx is the way to go. I have a choice between the Sabertooth 990FX r2.0 and Asrock Fatal1ty killer 990FX, which is better for my chip?

the asrock extreme 6... did you read up on what I said about that ?? it has better cpu support then the Fatal1ty cause it handles the 220w chips [Supports FX 9590 & 9370 CPUs ] the Fatal1ty does not [last I checked] so it must have a higher quality part to handle the 220w required on that board

I would have to dislike you to recommend asus .. we went through a total of 5 sabbertooths and all went into the trash - junk- we ended up going with other brands boards and all was well after that .. go figure ,but all you can do is what you feel is best for you
