Essentially what I'm asking is if the lowest bios is 0312 then doesnt that mean that the i5 3470 is supported natively.

All in wondering is if this board concretely supports the i5 3470 out of the box with no updates. I have done some looking around and so far its mostly yes but I just wanted some help to be doubly sure and not waste money around. Since it says on the website that its supported around bios 0312...

Okay I have fixed my problem by doing absolutely nothing and just restarting another time!!! God I hate my cpu.

After overclocking my x4 860k out of boredom to 4ghz on stock voltage. I noticed the clock speed would go down to 3.5 ghz every now and then so I disabled c6 to see if that would help. Nope just decreased clock speeds worse to 1.7ghz so I turned it back on which cause two of my cores to stay at...

Yeah I kinda was thinking so I was just wondering which would hold out better for stability till I can get the budget to build a ryzen system currently ill just use my x4 860k since when I play witcher the pc straight up hardlocks sometimes using the fx 6300 with the n68c gs4 fx. PS. My friend...

Well I have a fx 6300 and a athlon x4 860k and I was wondering if its really that much better to use a 6300 for gaming performance or just stick with the athlon. Its only because I have a motherboard that isnt really stable with the fx 6300 and wondering if I should just use athlon rather than...

It sounds more like a loose connection to the tv really even with the hdmi cord.

Then its either possible you bought a cpu the motherboard doesnt support yet and youre going to have to return it for a cpu that the motherboard does support. Or the build has something wrong going on with it. Check here though in the motherboard support page for supported cpus...

It really depends on the effort factor. If you have all if not most of the parts to build it already than its worth a shot but if you dont have everything you need almost then best to just build something you will be realisticly using since 4 xeons will run your power bill through the roof to...

Since you did test it on two cpus now I have to tell you the way some cpu coolers are made the be quiet dark rock pro 3 you have sounds like its slightly misshapen on the cpu contact point which is kinda fine since the temps youre getting arent terrible just a little off the cooler is probably...

What are your temperatures under idle and load?

Its most likely in your control panel to uninstall it probably titled amd software or something similar just know your resolution will look super wonky once you do uninstall it till you get new drivers.

You could try it out since in this case it really is a shot in the dark you're just going to have to go experiment. I do agree however that the gpu could use more power so it may or may not increase your fps.

Sounds like your grounding something check that your motherboard is mounted correctly and the orange light sounds like the ethernet port's light.

Those two are very similar in performance really. I would recommend the h60 by corsair simply because of their reputation of reliable water coolers.
