FX 9370 and Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 revision 3?

[radagah]

So, I currently have this motherboard (Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 rev. 3) and I am thinking of getting an FX 8350 or FX 9370. I do plan to upgrade the motherboard to a higher end one sometime next month or the month after that in the latest. The price difference between the two processors is like 30 dollars where I'm from.

Now, what I primarily want to ask is, will this chip work with the latest bios for my board? Will I possibly even be able to overclock it (not necessary though)? And, if you say, "yes it will work", should I expect stability issues? And, should I maybe even expect the motherboard to die on me? xD

Thank you very much.

Get the fx8350, the fx9370 is not compatible to your MB. Here is the cpu support list. http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4434 Also keep the eye on your MB VRMs section overheat problem when you oc the fx8 series cpu, more info like:

If you want get the small fan to cool the VRMs. Like the one is next to the cpu cooler http://www.overclockers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=135114&d=1384710155

So, to sum up, my VRM is shit, and no way in hell can I run an 8350 with an overclock (without throttling), let alone a 9370? xD
