Is my motherboard (GA-78LMT-S2(rev 1.2)) compatible with the following CPU+GPU

[arelav2001]

FX 8320e+ AMD R9 380 or
FX 8370e +AMD R9 380
Which one is better choice for me? Please help me, cause that's my first time changing cpu and gpu. My current gpu is gtx 950 and cpu is fx 4300. I am really afraid that my PC will overheat after upgrade. Thank you!

Needs to have BIOS F6 to run the 95w E series.

That's the thing I found on msinfo32 about my BIOS.

Then you can run the E series.

kk. I just have 2 more questions. I know these processors are bad nowadays but what do you personally think:
fx 8300 or fx 8370e?

FX 8370E

FX-8300. Much cheaper than the price of an FX-8370E and has the same base speed and only slightly lower turbo speed. For all intents and purposes they are exactly the same chip and slightly different clock speeds with the same 95w TDP. Only difference is that here in the US the FX-8300 is about $100 and the FX-8370E is about $175 (ridiculous). For that matter the FX-8320E is an even better buy here - a few $$ cheaper than the FX-8300 and again, vastly cheaper than an FX-8370E.

Whatever you choose absolutely don't overclock on that board. There are no heatsinks on the VRMs like in later revisions.

Thanks dude. Also the last question. Do I need to check PSU for CPU or its just GPU?
