I recently bought a new motherboard (within the last 30 days so can still return) and am wondering weather to send it back and wait for the new ZEN processors so at least then i have an upgrade path.
I got the new board as my old one was a very poor 4+1 phase supply which couldnt support my fx8320 very well.
Anyone know if i would be able to use a fx8320 on the new boards or if AMD has mentioned anything?
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Yes hello again. I bought the Gigabyte 990X gaming SLi board.
Quite a lot of my parts and can reuse but i would probably give this computer to my brother in two years and if they are compatible i could send this board back, wait until the AM4 boards come out and then buy one of them so there is an upgrade path.

If they arent compatible then i will just leave this build alone now until my brother finished uni or until i decide to build an intel rig.

Cheers again Matt
