I have a Gigabyte Micro ATX GA-78LMT USB3.0 Motherboard with a 760 chipset. I want to upgrade from my FX 6300 CPU to an FX 8350. I've been looking everywhere for an answer to see if my MoBo is compatible, but some people say the 8350 works just fine with the 78lmt, and others say it doesn't work at all because the chipset is incompatible, so if anyone can give me a definitive answer it would be greatly appreciated!
 
Solution
It will work, but there is a big potential problem. Those boards have weak uncooled VRMs and VRM throttling is a common problem. I reccomend against pairing them.
