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
 
I have the UD3 Rev 3, and a serious heat problem on the PWM HS. Seeking return for refund. Earlier revs seemed not to have this problem, according to what I've read all over the net, neither does Rev 4, but Rev 3 has it bad. The board can be modded with care: steel backplate under the board that bolts to the PWM HS, forcing good contact between PWM HS and PWM MOSFETs. You might as well water-cool CPU & PWM for that much trouble.
