Question 1

will this board support an 8 core cpu?

Accepted Answer

I just built a rig with this motherboard and this processor AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 4.0GHz. Go to the Asrocks product page and it will list all the compatible processors. I find the motherboard to be very nice. I am already playing BF4 with excellent performance compared to the AMD quad-core i had before.

Question 2

Would this be compatible with the AMD FX8350 8 core black edition processor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this board works very well with the 8 core AMD processors. I had this board paired with an FX 8320 and was able to overclock the chip to 4.7 ghz (24/7 use) and as high as 5.2 ghz (validation and quick bench). Board was a roc and we'll built.

Question 3

can the fx-6350 go with this mobo? It should right?

Accepted Answer

Below are the listed CPU's for the ASRock Fatality 990FX Killer.....

CPU TypeAMD Phenom II X6 / X4 / X3 / X2 (except 920 / 940) / Athlon II X4 / X3 / X2 / Sempron.

I ordered the AMD Phenom II X6 for the above motherboard and it resulted in an excellent gaming computer.

Question 4

Hey all!  What kind (including memory model#)  are you guys having success with?  I can't seem to find any they list as compatible on the ASrock website here at NewEgg.  They all seem to be "deactivated" or have a letter added to the end.  I'm looking to do 8GB (2x4GB) with decent latency that I will expand later to a total of 16BG.  The faster the speed the better.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Right now I'd say the best bang for buck value is the Kingston HyperX series. If you're going to keep the system at default values and not overclock, look for DDR3 1600. Otherwise this board can handle both DDR3 2100 and DDR3 2450 for some serious overclocking potential. Pretty much any of Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM sticks will be compatible with this board, but I like the Black series in particular. Check this one out: Item #N82E16820104360

Question 5

does it have onboard wifi?

Accepted Answer

Not my version.  I have to plug it in or use a USB wifi.

Question 6

I checked the compatibility of cpus this board can use and the AMD FX- 8350 isnt on there but i think i saw a review when someone said they used that chip... Would the AMD FX-8350 work?... Thank you

Question 7

Does this Motherboard come with Bluetooth? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just now build my first computer and not too sure where to find it. I have combed the specs twice now, saw nothing regarding this question. Either yes it does or no it doesn't. Any help is most appropriated

Accepted Answer

No Bluetooth. Just have to buy one

Question 8

Does it have a front panel usb 3.0 connector?

Accepted Answer

it does have a usb 3.0 header, but i would stay away from asrock boards with usb 3 as the drivers used are real hit or miss. hit owkrs fine, miss causes crashes.

Question 9

Just a few questions I want to verify before purchase. 
-Looking to run this board with FX-8350 Vishera Black Edition. FD8350FRHKBOX However the manufacturer site doesn't include the same product code as this. Is this one compatible?
-Running an Nvidia 650 GTX 2G DDR5 with a 600W PS, will this PS Suffice?
-Aftermarket Heatsink recommended? 
Also looking for 8G RAM, recommendations welcome!

Would be lovely to combo all this.

Hunter,

I am running 1 x AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX on 1 x ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard, with 1 x CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 Desktop Memory Model CMD16GX3M2A2400C10 with no issues, problems, or complaints.  All those items were purchased from NewEgg recently, description from my orders.  I also run the 1 x GIGABYTE GV-R787OC-2GD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX with Dual SSD neatly installed in the Level 10 case by thermaltake.  I am waiting on Corsair to RMA my AX760i Power supply, until then I am using a 650 watt Antec so I dont see why your 600 wouldnt work.  If you can use it now with your VC you should be fine, unless your going to run SLI/Xfire or multiple drives where you dont have enough connectors.

Good luck
