HAHA M5A97 EVO with FX-9370!

Stevie Lim · May 24, 2015

Never expected this setup would work.

FX-9370 oc to 4.8ghz
M5A97 supposed to not support 9370

= works very well.
I am currently using corsair h60 for the cooling solution.
Well Asus, nice job.

Its a good board but for how long? I gather Asus found that eventually the board failed.

Put some load on the processor, run Prime95 and let us know how it goes with not only the board but the cooler as well.

Its not that it works now, it that will it work in a few months.

Guys I'm trying everything to cool down the mospets. No throttling, but I'm getting lag spike..

As we said - the motherboard isn't perfect.

Warning: This power draw of this CPU is almost twice that of the average CPU. Due to this, AMD recommends using at minimum a 1000W power supply. For cooling, AMD recommends using either either closed loop liquid cooling or full system liquid cooling.

My M5A97 EVO couldn't handle an FX-8320 overclocked to anything higher than 4.3ghz - the VRM would start to bite the dust.

The setup won't last.

Lag spike was problem of mantle api and OS..
Will update status.
