[SOLVED] GA-78LMT-USB3 Rev 6.0 with amd fx-8350 and hyper 212 evo

[elifxofficial]

So every thread I have seen says the motherboard will have issues with this, im running an amd fx 6300 and I recently got a 8350, I am not planning on OC'ing and it seems most of the issues are because of cooling. With a Hyper 212 Evo (aftermarket cooler), would that solve the issues that this processor supposedly has? It seems like the issues people say will happen is the board getting too hot so I assume this would fix it since on my fx 6300 its always super cold.

The issue is the board is not designed to support 125w processors, only 95w processors.

gigabytes website "supports" it on the board, even specifying it is 125w so I am not sure. I am building another pc with an am3+ 125w processor compatible motherboard, so I may just swap out the boards since I can exchange all the parts.

 

[Gam3r01]

Though it may be listed, any board with a 4+1 power phase should not be running 125w

That board should never be used with an 8350, the vrms just weren't designed for the 125w CPUs and cause all sorts of power problems. The 8350 really needs a decent 970fx or preferably a 990fx motherboard.
