GA-970a-DS3 Rev3 Bios FD + FX 8320
« on: January 24, 2014, 05:50:21 pm »
Hey guys ! My first post here! ^_^

Well i have question.I m thinking of buying FX 8320 CPU on this mobo but sadly i saw on CPU Support List of the mobo There no FX 8320 CPU or FX 8350.
So i m wondering i saw lot of ppl saying that they run this Cpu on this mobo but some say they have problems because they have rev 1.0 or 1.1 ...
But i have Latest rev and Bios So should i try? I also hear from some guy That Gigabyte tech support didn't update CPU Support List..

Is your choice either it will work and be quirky as in only run at 800mghtz or not run at all.

By the support list it does say Fx-8300. But there is no FX-8300 for sale that I can find. Only the 8320 & 8350.

Plus I read the other day somebody said that they have the 990-FXA - 1.1 - board and ran a  FX-9370 on it.

That board doesn't support that CPU but it ran. I don't know how good but did run.

I have run an unsupported CPU also but it just ran at 800mghtz and wouldn't clock up. so is your choice.

no on a 790fx platform. Is going to be hard to find someone running that CPU on that motherboard especially as it is unsupported.

What I said in the last post and that is for all version it is only saying 8300. It doesn't say anything else.

I'm not saying it will work and I'm not saying it will not work either. That is up to that you on taking a chance or ask support.

Doesn't really matter the platform what truly matters is that it is an UNSUPPORTED CPU  up to you to take the chance.

....Can fx 8320 work with ga-970a-ds3 rev3 FD Bios ?

Again, if it's not in the CPU list the risk is all yours... get a matching CPU or mobo and you're safe - end of story!
