hi im looking for a motherboard that supports a amd fx 8320 cpu. i saw the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 and it said it has a TDP of 95 watts. so would that motherboard support my cpu? i will not be overclocking i just need the base clock speed and the 8 cores for rendering. if this board doesnt support it do you guys know one that will? and can it be under $75? Thanks
 


no, that motherboard will not support the fx8320.

find an asus m5a99x evo r2.0 or m5a97 r2.0

That's correct, I was thinking he was talking about a different cpu

 


no, asrock makes fine boards for intel. do not purchase them for AMD piledriver/bulldozer family cpus. their cheap VRMs and lackluster VRM cooling just doesn't do the job.
