SoumyaHD · Sep 20, 2016

Hello Everyone,
I am facing huge problems with my previous motherboard MSI 970A-G46 the board is malfunctioning when I am using AMD FX 8350 CPU. It was going well for 3 months then all of a sudden when i am starting my PC no beeping sound. Full black screen. I have repaired it 3 times and they told it will not fully support with my cpu as of some thermal design issues . I am willing to buy the new motherboard called Gigabyte 970 G1 Gaming. Can my CPU run on this board without having any problems?
please help???

You had a 970 motherboard and you buying 970 also , Idk whats the issue here as far as I know 970 motherboards supports Fx 8350 .
The best is to go for 990 motherboard.

Hmmm...I am interested in 990 but pricing is too high..my limit 180$...so i am choosing this one . whats the main difference between 990 and 970 baords???

To put it bluntly, you're less likely to light a 990fx motherboard on fire than a 970. For FX cpu's, I wouldn't trust anything less than a 990fx chipset motherboard. I've seen a 970 chipset motherboard go up in flames a yard from my face.

FX CPU's draw an enormous amount of power, and 970 chipset boards typically don't have the power delivery adequate to pushing anything more than an fx6300 at stock speeds, let alone your power hungry 8350.

990 is a better quality motherboards and better overclocking , your using high TDP CPU so 990 will hold it better and you more likely not having the issues you have now .

The G1 is a much better choice , your old board the G46 has a poor power phase and thermal design.

SoumyaHD :

You can by AM3+ mobo built on 970 or 990 or another chipsets but it must support processor.
Differences btw chipsets restrict some supported functions, which can be useless.
The DC-DC converter on mobo that supply CPU can provide certain power. When consumer (CPU in our case) require more power than converter can provide, then malfunction happens: overheat and burning out of MOSFETs.
It is not a caprice or wish to make a profit when vendors not include some CPUs in support list of budget mobo, it is a safety requirement.
Chek CPU support list when choosing the motherboard.

970 IS FINE AS LONG AS IT HAS A GOOD POWER PHASE AND THERMAL DESIGN.
