Whats the best CPU for a Radeon HD 7990

What about the GA-990FXA-UD3 rev. 3.0? would this board still not be able to work with a 8350

AVOID 3.0 FOR DEAR LIFE NO NOT EVEN ONCE JUST NO
NO
NO NO NO
NO NO
NOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Everything but the revision 4.0 of the Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 shouldn't be trusted. The heat sinks weren't big enough to dissipate the heat of the big 8 cores, so in turn most all of us will not recommend them. The revision 4.0 was okay and I can confirm as I used it for a year and a half without problem.

1.1 was a good revision just needs a fan pointed at it.

The krait is a good board. The Msi g43 and g46 were the boards I believe he was referencing. Those two boards were famously bad, but the krait is new and doesn't suffer from the same problems.

Ok Thanks for helping me Out! :) I guess it's time to get another motherboard and CPU. Thanks again<3
