ASrock 970M Pro3 CPU Support

Solution
I wouldn't put a 125w CPU on that board , has a poor power phase and thermal design. If you want to use an 8 core get the E variety they are only 95w.

*** For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design***

They have this warning above^^^^^ the Support List because of the poor thermal design of the board
