best cheap motherboard for 8350 under 100$

[Ravyar Tahir]

I wanna buy a motherboard for my 8350 CPU I am also planing to buy H60I too , I read that 8350 is overclockable to even 8 Ghz with water cooling system what is best possible solution for my budget ?

You will be lucky to hit 5 even on water.

Even harder with a cheap board.

That 8GHz can only be possible when u run that 8 core chip on only 1 or maximum 2 cores running, u need to disable all other cores..... And for that u r gonna need a LN2 cpu cooler not water cooler. If u want to oc that chip then u must get an 990fx chipset motherboard. 970 chipset mobo will not give u much oc capacity but is a good option if u r not gonna oc and gonna use a single gpu. The Asrock Fatal1ty performance is the best 970 chipset mobo.
But if u r gonna oc the cpu or gonna use dual gpu config or gonna do both then only choice is 990fx motherboard (Dnt even think bout 970 mobo if u plan to oc). The Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 and asus crosshair formula v are good choices. If u wanna oc as much as u can then get a sabertooth version or if u wanna oc and wanna go multi-gpu path with some advanced/extra features then go with crosshair formula v mobo.
Good luck.
Dnt 4get 2 select d bst answer...............

Asrock Extreme 9 is also an amazing board for OC.

If you already have a FX-8350 and a functioning motherboard, stick with it so long as it does the job.
What is your current motherboard?
Here is a list of motherboard quality and which are suitable for OC of a FX-8

If you feel you need to change motherboard, it is time to look at an Intel cpu and motherboard upgrade.

+1 for this

Even with a high end board and great cooling, hitting 5.0GHz is challenging. 8GHz is only possible with sub-ambient cooling (IE: Liquid Nitrogen or a massive chill pack) and totally impractical for day-to-day use.

If you get a good chip that will OC on low voltage, you can probably get 4.6-4.8 on high end Air or a 120x240mm or 140x280mm radiator/CLC.

Some good budget OC boards:

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
ASRock 970 Performance (Fatal1ty)
MSI 970 Gaming

All 3 of those have 8+2 phase power, good chipset/VRM cooling, and decent BIOS options for ocerclocking. They will only support 1 high end GPU though, so don't plan to SLI or Crossfire if sub-$100 is your budget for a motherboard.
