will this mb support a amd fx 8370 8 core processor am3+ socket

The AM3+ socket would likely support the FX 8370 processor; however this board comes with a host of other issues: screwy BIOS (v3.0 mb) IOMMU set to off-must be turned on, boot sequence defective-will not proceed to HD boot if set to boot from optical and no media present, UEFI randomly re-orders drives-must be checked with every change. More trouble than its worth.

Hello Steven, yes, according to GIGABYTE it does support your FX 8370 /Bios version F8f. Check the following link: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=3907

Yes it will. It will also support the 9370 and the 9590. I have both on this mb.

Yes but you would be happier with a gigabyte motherboard with 4 dim slots for more ram. Always match your cpu socket. Am3 + is your current motherboard socket.

i'm not really sure. according to the specs it should .......as long as it has the right bios installed on the board. the guy who put my cpu in ( a fx 4130 am3+ quad core ) checked and found it would work. so, I would suggest you either go online and check with asus or go to someone who installs stuff on computers and have them check and see. that is the best answer I can give you. I hope that helps

No, this motherboard works with APU processors (combines a CPU with a GPU). The AMD FX-8320 CPU works with motherboards that support the AM3+ socket.

No, this board is for AM3+ and AM3 processors only. That means FX series, but they work great. I use a 7970 and haven't had trouble playing games, but if you have large graphics requirements (I have a 1440p monitor OC'd to 120hz), you might need SLI/Crossfire setups, which need more cpu punch. I am personally confident however that an 8350 with this board should handle dual graphics setups without difficulty.

Yes but if you are building a custom pc I suggest using the AMD fx 8350 am3+ eight core processor for $30 more on a am3+ 990fx or a 990fxa motherboard

Hi, this motherboard is compatible with the 3.5ghz AMD FX-X8 (FX-8320)?? thanks.

NO, the 8 core cpu has an AM3+ socket, this motherboard is specific to FM2/FM2+, i believe there is a version of this motherboard with the AM3+ socket, be aware that not all AM3+ motherboards can support the 8 core cpu's due to the 125w tdp. good luck!

No, it only supports Opteron socket C32. AM3+ chips are completely different. Hope this helps. Jose Seisdedos Titanus Computers www.titanuscomputers.com

This chipset can handle up to the fx 8xxx processors. If your ever needing compatability issues, wikipedia, and pcpartpicker the website works wonders.

It needs an amd processor that is am3 or am3+. On the processor you are considering purchasing, check out the socket type... if it says am3 or am3+ you are good.

Supports Intel sockets LGA 2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD sockets FM1/FM2/AM3+

Definitely. I used an Athlon II (Propus) x4 645 prior to upgrading to FX 8320 (Piledriver), so it can handle anything in between. To ensure compatibility, always check with the vendor of the motherboard. To check for compatible CPU's, goto http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU, to see if your RAM is ok, check out http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory, and finally, if you're planning on multiple Graphics Cards: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=VGA&c;=2 Best of luck!

No. That board is only compatible with Intel socket LGA1150 processors. You will be unable to use an AMD processor.

HI Victor,To the best of my knowledge the processor should work. It is basically AM3 processor. Also it is rated at 95W which is also what the motherboard supports.

Oh yes absolutely..... This motherboard supports AMD® A series Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series Graphics.
