Hello guys , please help me with this problem
I have an AMD FX-6350 FD6350FRHKBOX
and I want to know if it is compatible with the two motherboards because I can't find it on the supported list ...

1 ) MSI 970A-G43 :
https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/970A-G43.html#support-test
https://us.msi.com/file/test_report/TR19_2743.pdf

2) ASUS M5A97 EVO REV2.0 :
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_EVO/HelpDesk_CPU/

Again , my cpu is AMD FX-6350 FD6350FRHKBOX ( not FD6350FRW6KHK )

Please guys make sure to give me the right information because the seller said that the two motherboards are not compatible with my CPU so no replace ...

Thank you for visiting my thread and for your help

There are actually three versions of the fx-6350 on the market.
One with boxed amd cooler which has the product id you got FD6350FRHKBOX
The second is a CPU which can be bought with a special cooler (product Id is irrelevant for you)
And the CPU product id which is listed in all CPU support lists, the one without cooler,
The FD6350FRW6KHK

All versions are the same CPU but with cooler or without cooler
both are supporting this cpu. The FD6350FRW6KHK, which is showing in the cpu support lists of both boards, is just your CPU without boxed cooler that you have.

But wouldn´t get the MSI, the voltage regulators aren´t cooled by heatsinks and just has 4+1 of them

 

Hello bro , can you explain please I didn't understand what do you mean by " ... is just your CPU without boxed cooler that you have."
my CPU is FD6350FRHKBOX
Thank you for your help
