I'll suggest the FX8320 paired with an ASRock 990FX Extreme3. IMO best value mobo with 990FX chipset. At least go with the highest end AM3+ chipset, not 970.

For gaming, choice of mobo doesnt effect much, thats for sure, unless the user going to crossfire in the future, a cheapo 970 chipset will do..

mainly will use for gaming + entertainment (connect to a tv and watch movies). will do some oc, just for fun.

Should i wait for the next gen amd proc (4350 or 6350) or just go for FX8320? i think my phenom2 555 will bottleneck my gc (7870xt). thats why i want to upgrade the proc.

Do you have plans to crossfire/SLI in the future? If no, then yes just get a 970 chipset AM3+ board will do and save some cash in the process. 7870XT crossfired does quite well, and affordable enough for you to consider getting another in the near or mid future. Really depends on the games you play and at what resolution/quality you want to play them at. If it was me, I'd go with 990FX board, and the ASRock one is as affordable as they come, at approximate RM 380 price and decent quality too. Don't skimp out when buying a mobo is the lesson I've learnt, get something with some quality.

Also a 990FX board would be best suited to support next FX series (Steamroller) compared to a 970. So there.

i dont think i will do a crossfire, at least not for now. hmm, then i'll be searching for a FX8320. will do some more research about what mobo to use. thanks guys

nothing fantastic due to voltage but nonetheless made it to 5Ghz on 8 cores...

hi all i'm new here..

Wow! On air? what is the voltage? How's the temp? prime95 stable?

hahaha. hi there.

Wow, good clock there bro

Yeah right new..

on h100 bro. voltage is ugly, temp is lagi worse. i'm dead sure it cant be prime stable, not board issue, more of being an average chip.

hello guys..im planning to oc my cpu..this is my very 1st attempt to do oc..my spec is as below..

mobo: gigabyte ma 785gt ud3h (4phase)
cpu : phenom ii x6 1055T
ram : 4gb team elite ddr3 1333
cooler : cm hyper 212+
os : win 7 32 bit

so im planning to oc to 3.4ghz..im just wondering with my spec as above am i able to achieve it.?TQIA

i believe u can, but at d expense of having lower ram freq & mebe imc freq. since it's a locked chip u can only play with htt oc. if u have no plan to use lower cpu multi then htt should be @ 243, with 1600 ram divider that will take ya ram near to 2000MHz, something i think might be a bit challengin for d board & d ram. i mite be wrong thou.

tq so much for ur reply..but...honestly..im so sorry because i dont understand most of the things that u said.. so what is imc freq?what is htt oc?so r u suggesting that i need at least 1600 ram to able achieve 3.4?tq..

imc (integrated mem ctrler) is referring to cpu nb (north bridge) or some just call it nb. d multiplier should be adjustable in bios if ya board is oc ready.

htt = front size bus (fsb) of old, ppl used to call it fsb last time.

u need to use lower ram divider to make ya ram runnin @ 1600MHz because d pair might not be able to handle 2000MHz if u oc the htt (fsb), since that's d only way to oc a 1055t which doesn't come with unlocked CPU multiplier.

few will care?

hey guys , any comments on my PC ? @.@

what kinda commend ur lookin for sir? spec wise quite ok but if u wanna play more with d fx that's not really d best board out there. 7oo series chipset is kinda old & u can better utilize d chip with 900 series chipset based board.

Just notice his pc spec, seems kinda himbar.. Mobo could do better, atleast maybe a ASUS M5A97 r2.0 lor..

hye, i want to OC my cpu, can suggest me a very good mobo

current spec =

AMD FX 8350
Asrock 970 Extreme 3 R 2.0 ( i believe this motherboard cant OC well)
Kingston Hyper X DDR 3 1600
Tagan 700 W PSU

i want to OC to 5 GHZ maybe

Without a budget set, i can say ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z is the best..
