I have installed a AMD FX-9370 into my GA-990FXA-UD5 motherboard and it is running at 3.8 GHz instead of 4.4 GHz. I was wondering if this could be fixed with a bios update or adjusting other settings within the bios or is it because of the motherboards model?
Any help is much appreciated, as I am newish to the PC building world.
You will be needing the newest bios for that cpu...FX-9370/FX-9590 bios vershon needed FCb (GA-990FXA-UD5 REV 3) GA-990FXA-UD5 REV 1 dosent at this time have that cpu in the support list.
Ok then thanks for the quick responses, I have liquid cooling installed so the temp is no issue. I have heard that updating the bios with an unsupported CPU can cause issues, would this be the case in my situation or would it run smoothly if I updated the bios. Also while updating the bios is there anything I should be aware of?
