I have just bought this processor and installed it, however it says "Cpu warning!!"
The current system does not support the cpu. If wish to continue, the cup will be under clocked to maintain stability.
Does anyone know how to fix it? or can this processor not work with this mother board? do I need a new mother board? or what. it alsi is 16 MB total Cache black edition, don't know if that makes a difference
 
You will need the new MB for the fx8370, because the cpu has 125W TDP, the MB has very low power phase count ( VRMs. If you install the cpu, you have to disable two or more cores or underclock the cpu.

By the way, how much do you pay for the fx8370? If you pay too much, you should forget about it, the fx cpu is old one. Don't worth to spend more money on that PC.
