MSI 970a-g43 good for FX-8350?

jimbroski · Aug 2, 2015

I've been reading a lot on the recommended temperatures for mobo and seen that 70c is really hot for a board (which is the temp my board runs under stress). Then I heard that the 970a-g43 wasn't a good motherboard for the FX-8350 mainly because of its power phases (4+2) and that it could actually fry my cpu.

Long story short, should I be worried about the high temp or frying my cpu with that mobo?

FX-8350 4ghz (runs at ~30c normal and ~60c under stress)

That board is terrible and has many issues. That PSU is crap as well and needs to be changed for a proper unit.

I would definitely be worried. That board is known to overheat and catch fire. I see issues with that board almost every other day here.

I didn't think my problem was that bad to be honest. Maybe that's the reason I've been experiencing fps, hiccups and stuttering issues in my games?

I've been looking for motherboards and came across this one: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
Do you think that one would be a good and reliable choice?

Could be.

That gigabyte is a million times better. Very good board. I have personally used it multiple times in builds.

You PSU needs to be replaced as it is a danger to the PC.

Alright, thanks for the heads up. Might go with that board and the EVGA 850W Semi-Modular ATX

Sounds good.

Make sure the EVGA is a G2,B2,GS model.
