    AMD FX 8350 supported on Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3

    Hello,

    I have a year old motherboard from Gigabyte model GA-970A-DS3. I was wondering if the new AMD FX 8350 processor is supported with the same motherboard that I am using? I know that my motherboard is able to support AM3+ hardware but I dont know whether it will support the AMD FX 8350? So, I just want to make sure if the board is able to support this processor before buying it. Thanks

    I checked the Gigabyte's CPU support page for the particular board that you are having and it says that it doesnt really suppor the AMD FX 8350 processor, you can check the information over here - http://www.gigabyte.com/support-down....aspx?pid=4122. I believe that this is due to the not so updated BIOS version of the motherboard to support the same CPU.

    Yeah, even I agree that AMD FX 8350 is not supported on Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 until a new BIOS update for the board is released. You can however try to install the newer F6 Bios in your system and test the CPU since the same BIOS version has the updated CPU information. If it doesnt then you will have to ring the Gigabyte support. This BIOS can be found on this link - http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...?pid=4297#bios

    Well, there is no where mentioned, due to the poor documentation, that F6 Bios would be able to support the AMD FX 8350 processor. Your best bet would be to buy a new motherboard that will support this CPU or else you will just waste money buying a hardware which is not compatible with your motherboard at all. The best CPU that can be run on your motherboard would be FX 6300 series.
