bootcher Splendid Feb 22, 2013 2,630 1 22,965 Jul 25, 2016 #5 There are many motherboards for the FX series, some of course better than others. If you want a good motherboard with decent overclocking possibilities you will want any motherboard with 6+2 or better phase design with heatsinks. Here is a list with some motherboards: http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database Your motherboard is also on the list, though it states 140 watt CPU support, it has only 4+1 phase and no heatsinks.
