Officially they are compatible but your motherboard is known to have problems with 125w CPU's. The VRM's overheat when the CPU is under prolonged load and then the CPU gets throttled.

Gigabyte does not have them listed. Possible they use to be but are no longer due to the well known issues with them.

Oh I'm sure they used too, as you say maybe they accepted it wasn't up to it.

So is the FX-8370E the best possible CPU for this motherboard? Or would the FX-8300 be better since it's not a low wattage version?

What are you currently running? And whats the system used for? Good chance the best option is to save your money till you can do a whole platform upgrade to Intel or Ryzen.

I'm currently running a 2.8 ghz processor that I can't remember the name of (not at home).

I'm just trying to upgrade my computer to be able to run Street Fighter 5.

Also, is the FX-8310 compatible?

Basically, I don't think the price difference between the CPU choices are a factor for me, so I just want to get the best CPU I can get but can't tell for sure which is the best one.

Your motherboard is a poor quality unit that is not suitable for a FX 6 or FX 8

Even if you could, you will get no boost for most games which depend on single core speeds.

Best to not throw good money after bad.

Could you possibly benefit from a stronger graphics card instead?

My current graphics card is a 1050 Ti which seems more than good enough but the game has frequent stutters and slow downs because my CPU doesn't match the minimum requirements.
