MSI 970A-G43 cpu compatibility

[ryan42]

Hi guys! I wanted to know if the MSI 970A-G43 motherboard can safely support a Phenom II x4 955 125 watt safely?

Current board was a Gigabyte 880GM-USB3L which I've sent in for repairs but probably isn't repairable because of a burnt chipset and was looking at the 970A-G43 as a possible cheap replacement.

I'm conflicted regarding this issue because the official board site compatibility lists it as compatible but I've found contradictory posts and really just wanted to get confirmation as to whether this board can safely run this processor.

Hey,

Yes it does. CPU's are safe up to 200 Watt so you have a bit of head room as well.

Here is a complete list for you
