Hi,
First post here and I really need your help as soon as possible**.I have a 960GM-GS3 and (my fault) ,I didn't check the cpu support list carefully, I put an amd fx 8320.Although it seemed to run smoothly ,when heavy load (virtualizations , video transcodings) I had resets without post.I though it was the cpu but same resets with a new one (under warranty both). Prime95 , OCCT gave me cpu errors.After checking PSU and rams send the motherboard/cpu back for checking and they informed me that the cpu is not supported.
Getting to the point I have to either change the motherboard(ASUS M5A78L LE), or the cpu (amd fx6300).
The problem(s) is that on ASRock > 960GM-GS3 FX :
-I see only the fx8300 supported and it's not available in my country,or anywhere at the moment..(plus on some forums I read it's only for OEM?)
-The fx 8120 support is only for the 95W version (I didn't even know it exists such a version,I though it was only 125W)
-If I choose to undervolt the 8350 and lower the multiplier(finding the correct settings) ,will the cpu stay always in that speed even idle?(I don't want to!).Or leaving one core per module?But it may not be as fast as the fx6300 in multithreading rendering....
My braincells are fried! Is there any bios beta version planned or an actual solution to make them working stable?
**I'm in a harry because I can get full refund ,but time is limited!
PS.By posting this thread ,I googled the 8-core cpus on the support page and I think they are all for OEM (I hope it's not ,because that info is ,at least, a bit misleading for a normal pc user........)
