Hey guys,

This week I bought a new CPU upgrade (AMD FX8350 Black Edition) which is socket AM3+. My motherboard is currently the ASUS M4A77T/USB3. I've tried it, everything runs hardware wise but no display/bios. Did some googling and it looks like the M4A77T isn't compatible with any AM3+ CPU's as it's a AM3 MB.

Can someone confirm me this is the case and perhaps give me advice on what MB I should get to replace this one then?

I'm quite silly for not doing correct research in advance and assuming too much.

Thanks in advance guys/girls! I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the quick reply! :)

I see. It's true then, I am a silly one. Any advice on a new AM3+ MB?

Get one with atleast an 8+2 power phase avoid the 4+1 and the 3+1 boards.
