AMD FX-6350 compatibility

[Ilyass TheCoder]

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

The Asus motherboard will work and the MSI one most likely too. But i couldn't find the max tdp of the processor on the msi board.

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

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

Dear Ilyass .,

Thanks for contacting MSI technical support.

Regarding your concern,in theory,the motherboard should support the CPU FX 6350 FD6350FRW6KHK/FD6350FRHKBOX/FD6350FRHKHBX.Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for your cooperation in advance!

Best Regards,

The G43 is a very poor motherboard for any CPU , has a poor power and thermal design , no heatsinks on the VRM.
