will GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ work with fx 8350?

[tony9498]

i have a qustion i just bought a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ with a fx 8350 and wanted to know if they would work together becuase iv heard of many saying that the mother board doesnt support the fx 8350 and others say it will work fine?
another question i have is will i be able to overclock the fx 8350 with this mothe board i have a 750 watt psu?
another question this is my first pc build, many say that the mother board is rev 3 others say 2 and other say 4 those this make a diffrence and will the rev diffrencee affect my cpu from running?
and my final question is if my mother board doesnt work with the fx 8350 will i have to uptade the bios or buy a diffrent one if i do have to update the bios how would i be able to do it since i havent built it yet

so all i would need to do is when i get my motherboard i would have to see what rev it is and updtae my bios to the version it can suppoet the fx 8350?

 

[scout_03]

from this rev to up with the fa bios http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4397&dl=1#ov

so ur saying if i get rev 3.0 and up i would have to update it?

 

[scout_03]

from rev they have the new bios .

 

[tony9498]

from rev they have the new bios .

so the higher revs come with the newer bios so i wouldnt have to worry about updating it

Update the BIOS and it will work fine. That board has good power phase and cooling for the Chipset and VRUs.

*** However *** ...one of the older revisions had a dinky chipset heatsink that created overheating issues. Avoid that one.

If you can get the latest version 4.0 with the heatpipe connection between the chipset and VRU heatsinks that would be great.

last rev got the latest bios .

so if i get the rev 4.0 i would be able to over clock and what happens if i get like a rev 2 do i just return it i dont eant to deal with problems

 

[scout_03]

they dont have rev 2 on the list .

 

[tony9498]

they dont have rev 2 on the list .

my bad i meant anything lower than 4.0 would i be good with it and would i be able to overclock using the 4.0

 

[scout_03]

i could not answer for the overclock but all board have a limit even the cpu ,stay around some overclocker could be give your more help on this .

 

[tony9498]

i read tht the rev 3.0 has bad heating issues and that the voltages keep on going up and down

 

[scout_03]

so maybe it wont overclock the way you want now it up to you .

 

[tony9498]

so maybe it wont overclock the way you want now it up to you .

but i am saying iv heard people write saying tht they hvent over clocked it and the mother board is unstable

well just to be sure i talked to them again and they said thats how there policy is if in the 30 day since i purchased it and i tryed the mother board and lets say the heat sink doesnt work tht it will be qualified as a faulty item meaning tht i could return it for a full refund or a replacment
