I have the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard and I was wondering if the amd fx 8320 will run with my motherboard. If so will I be able to overclock it to match with the 8350, if it doesn't I wont overclock.

Although they both have an AM3+ socket, the motherboard supports up to DDR3-1333 ram while the CPU officially supports DDR3-1866 ram and up. It is a bad overclocker and has low GB/s rate. You need a new motherboard like the Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0.

No, the CPU is not compatible with DDR3-1600 ram. Only DDR3-1866 and up. That means you have to get a new ram kit and a new motherboard.

 


You can run 1600Mhz.You just have to change the ram settings in the BIOS to make it run 1600mhz. You do not need to buy a new ram kit.

The cpu is not compatible with 1600 ram huh? you're gonna have a credibility issue. ':/
 


It will run fine with 1333mhz, 1600mhz and 1866mhz you only need to adjust the speed in the bios but like the other said you're not going to see the best performance from that board due to the memory limitation.
