i'm concerned that my fx-8350 won't work with rev 1.0 of this motherboard.  GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 1.0)

please confirm.

any owners of this combination maybe !!

 

 am I going to need to update the bios :(  i don't have another cpu to update with :(((

noooooooooooo not the UD3 nooooooooohoooooooooohoooooooooooooooo

tell me you are not going to OC on that board my friend. the VRMs on that board are made of cheese.

Yes. The CPU socket on the mobo is AM3+ and the CPU uses AM3+. So yes, the board will work with the CPU. I'm not sure about flashing the BIOS, but since 990FX is the latest AM3+ chipset (I think), it should work natively. The same principle applies to other motherboards. For example, if you have a motherboard that uses socket LGA1155, you have to buy a LGA1155 CPU (LGA sockets are made by Intel. BGA sockets are as well, but they are a package of CPU and socket that are soldered to the motherboard).

I need a random guy to jump into this tread and do a dramatic-slowmo "noo" right now.

Its compatible, yes.use only at stock speed.

5

It will work but I'd much rather buy an Asus M5A99FX PRO r2.0. I've heard people have BIOS issues with those Gigabyte AM3+ motherboards pretty consistently. Also overclocking an FX-8350 with that motherboard is ill-advised.

Not the dramatic no I had in mind but it will have to do.

what the heck. you are not serious all of you !!! 

for more than a month i've been posting threads on forums asking advice on fx-8350 and that motherboard and i thought the motherboard was a good choice.

I knew i was being misinformed dammit

thank god i kept postponing the purchase of my new build !!

 

i think i'm done with amd ok ok what about this build:

4670K with GA-Z87M-D3H

or GA-Z87-D3HP

8

well sorry if look to be overreacting; but my last gigabyte board basicly burned down.

I decided to save the CPU because afaik it hasnt done anything wrong to me.

I went expensive on a sabertooth, follow the advice of batojiri or others for other less costly solutions :)

(fyi I also had a 8350, and was OCing)

9

no problem... i'm going asus

10

how about this one

GA-Z87M-D3H

11

^^^ thats not a AMD motherboard (GA-Z87M-D3H= intel socket 1150)

12

It works 100% my computer build is 8350 w/ the ud3 board.  I'm able to overclock it to 4.5Ghz on stock voltage and keeping all of the power saving features active.  I've benchmarked it and works 100% properly.

13

sorry to hear, my asus m599FX pro gave me so many problems and then took a shit after a year, sent for RMA and 2nd board was the same, after 2 months i turned my pc on and a few of the caps popped. Had bad luck with 990FX boards on ASUS side.  Guess you had a defective build.

14

i know but is it a good m.board with the 4670K for a moderate oc ?

15

If you really want a good Z87 board go MSI or ASUS. Their boards have been really good so far.

16

i'm going with Asus the quality of their motherboards isn't questionable.

17

Well Stated.

18

I have a friend using the 8359 and the ud3 rev3 and we havn't had a single hitch. He's not OC'ing so we were not worried about the open VRM. the VRM is completely fine if you're not OC alot.

19

It sure is; they're just a company, and any company can use bad parts, and produce a bad product.

20

Well yes, It should be questionable. And thats what reviews and personal experience is for.

But burning vrm's tend to give away some TDP issues.
