Please Recommend A better motherboard

[Thomas MartinsDias]

Hello all, I am not the Tom, my name is Tom. I currently have a Gigabyte GA-970a-DS3P motherboard. I am taking recommendations for a better motherboard so that I may take advantage of the speed of my ram that I currently have which is ADATA XPG V3 DDR3 2133MHz (PC3 17000) and AMD FX 8320 cpu.

Thanks

Tom

Your 970A-DS3P should be capable of running your RAM at 2000MHz (or at the very least 1866MHz) with an AM3+ chip.

As for recommendations for a new motherboard, I wouldn't recommend it at all.
The outlay for a new motherboard (which has no upgrade path) would be substantially more than any benefit you'd see from the minimal bump in RAM speed.

Well I currently have 32gb of the adata installed but am only getting 1608mhz, if i upgrade board will I be able to use higher speeds for ram. I can get 2100 plus stable with 16gb. But i want to be able to have that speed for all of the 32gb's of memory.

AMD FX CPUs support:
1866MHz memory speed with one DIMM per channel
1600MHz memory speed with two DIMMs per channel
Higher frequency speeds require an OverClocked system.

does your bios support xmp that will use the speed your ram is configured at
