    Which Motherboard Is Better? (New Member)

    So... Any others who wish to give their advice on this? So far, it's just been justinbaileyman and and Insert_Nickname who responded - and I could really use some additional input regarding which motherboard is better-suited to using the 8350 processor. Also, thank you to justin and insert for...

    I said I was just wanting to upgrade my CPU - the motherboard was included in an offer that was given to me. I haven't accepted it, nor have I declined it - I was wanting to see if my board or the ASUS would work better with the FX 8350 CPU because of the chipsets in each board, as well as the...

    At the moment, I'm thinking the Radeon RX 480 for a GPU when I get around to upgrading that, but I first want to upgrade my CPU. And as much as I would love to have all updated and current parts - hell, even an Intel CPU and board to support it - money is a slight issue to me. I'd rather do...

    So you overclocked your CPU just to get that sort of performance? Personally, I would prefer not to overclock at all and stick with the 8350 CPU. Would it still run normally, despite the chipset difference? I heard the 990FX chipset, like in my board, is made specifically for that...

    Hello everyone. I'm new to this neck of the digital woods - I've looked around on Tomshardware and, recently there, asked about this very topic which I'll get to shortly, but could use some additional insight. So, a few days ago I was given an offered, relayed by my brother from a friend of...
