Hi community!

Does the Base Speed of the processor and the Front Side Bus of the motherboard affect each other?

E.g

I have FX8150 3.60GHz Processor with a base speed of 3600Mhz and a ASRock 970 Extreme4 with FSB (Front Side Bus) of 2600Mhz. Does the processor affect the FSB of the motherboard?

Sorry for my bad english. Clarify what i say if you want. LOL.

No, core speed is a function of FSB x Multiplier.

Thanks for the reply. So ASRock 970 Extreme4 Motherboard is compatible with AMD FX8150?

 

[tenaciousk]

yep, it support am3+ processor, 8 core cpu

 

[nickolo15]

Are there more motherboards supports the AM3+ socket that is more cheaper than i said?
