Is this CPU compatible with my Motherboard?

[romeoasd]

Hello, is this CPU compatible with my motherboard? Both are AM3+, but i heard that still, some of spu's are not compatible even if the socket is right. Also, will this CPU compatible with Msi GTX 970 gpu? No bottleneck?

CPU: AMD FX-8350 8C 4.0G 16M AM3+ 125W
Motherboard: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO

Thank you

No that is not an AM3+ motherboard unfortunately. Its AM3 you need AM3+ for FX cpu's.

Pretty sure that motherboard is an AM3 motherboard and the fx-8350 is definitely AM3+. This means your motherboard doesn't support the cpu. However that cpu will run a gtx 970 without any bottlenecks. I suggest a motherboard like the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P.

As the others have already stated, that motherboard is not an AM3+ motherboard. Regardless, you should always check the CPU Support List to verify what CPUs are supported. Each motherboard has a CPU Support List on it's support web site.
