Motherboard that supports the AMD FX-Series 8-core

[Carbonwyre]

I've been looking at the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z and it says it supports 140W CPU's. The AMD FX-9590 8-Core runs at what looks like 220W.

Will that MoBo run that processor at full speeds? If not what will?

Yes, with BIOS update.

i don't think you will be able to run your cpu(Fx-9590) in that board. When loading the cpu, chances of vram failing will be at maximum.

Damn, this OP tricked me so hard for not clicking into his link.......I give up on this forum.

Anyways, FX-8350 or FX-8320 (8 cores) will be supported, whereas FX-9590 (8 cores) will not.

May I ask why are you considering this CPU? With 220W your electricity bill will increase. Read some reviews prior to buying it.

I am considering this CPU because it's a means of "I don't have to upgrade for a while.". And I'd like to see what it feels like to have something that fast. Of course it will take up more power but that doesn't mean much to me. So now that we have an answer of "No.", what board WILL run it?

A lot of the reviews I'm seeing are saying that the Asus Crosshair V-Formula Z is the only MoBo people can find that DOES support it. I'm super confused now.

There are more from other brands like ASRock and Gigabyte, but I was visiting the ASUS website, so I just grabbed these.

Isn't the first one, the one I linked to at the beginning?
