Most Critical Review

Good motherboard so far

GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 2.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 2.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Allows me to OC my FX-8320 Decent BIOS

Cons: Mouse runs at like 2 fps in BIOS Potential issue with slow 8320 performance

Overall Review: Was a little scared after seeing DOA reviews

Decent for the price

AMD FX-8320 - FX-8000 Series Vishera 8-Core 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8320FRHKBOX
AMD FX-8320 - FX-8000 Series Vishera 8-Core 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8320FRHKBOX

Pros: 8 cores Same chip as the more pricy 8350/8370 Great performance in video editing and some heavily multithreaded games Still manages to massively beat consoles

Cons: Couldn't overclock above 4.1 GHz without extremely high temps (65+) on a Cryorig H7 (may have been something I did wrong, admittedly) Bottlenecks GTA V and Arma III pretty darn bad on my 290 (45-50fps in GTA V, way worse in Arma but that is due to a bad engine) Could be that i have single channel RAM? Bottlenecks other games (Far Cry 4, BF4) but not to the same extent as GTA V or Arma 125W TDP

Overall Review: Buy a locked i5 and cheap motherboard instead, same price as this + a good mobo (which you NEED for this, unlike the Intel) + an aftermarket cooler
