New fast motherboard needed AMD - Reliability a must! GIGABYTE ONLY!

[oliverbeckham]

Hi can any of the experts recommend me a value for money, with expansion options for the future chips of AMD and a powerful motherboard that will have no bottlenecks, also needs to have an excellent internet network connection that can handle fibre optic speeds perfectly.

I am currently interested in the FX chips for gaming and value for money:

If anyone has any other ideas for Intel processors that would match the above processor for performance and value for money please post it in this thread.

Thank you.

The board I would go with is this one GA-990FXA-UD5 (rev. 3.0). It will support that chip and right at this time I'm running the FX-9370 Vishera 8-Core 4.4GHz.

You might have to update the bios on the board 1st before you run the CPU. It will support FX-9590 & FX-9370 with bios FCb. The Rev 1.0 will run the FX-8350

I would stay away fro the FX9xxx CPUs coz it's running too hot and not worth the trouble/price attached.

I wouldn t stay away ,but of course you need boards from a different manufacturer to get it work properly and at full speed
