CPU Compatibility
« on: April 12, 2013, 07:41:03 PM »
Hi Guys

I have a client that wanted a home PC built. In getting the parts (I paid for everything so far, client has not been billed yet) one of the items I obtained was the AMD FX 8350. Was at a fairly decent price, so I said why not. Now when it came to main boards, I had very little to go on. One of the candidates was an MSI 760GM-P23. I read through the manual and it claimed that is supported the processor. However, after assembling the system, it hangs a lot after the initial installation of Windows 7 and I am forced to re-install or abandon altogether.

I have come across several forums where they claim it works and others claimed it will not work, my question to you guys, should I source a lower grade processor and sell the 8350, or is there a BIOS update that would have this processor work with this board? Now be honest! If there is genuinely no way this CPU will work, I will post it for sale here, however, if it does work, then I will continue with this set up

BIOS update is your best bet.

Some boards will often need a BIOS update to properly support a processor made after the motherboard's release.

If that doesn't work, then you'll have little choice but to either get a board with known compatibility or sell the CPU.
God is dead.

I know some fellahs may be hoping I sell off the CPU. Going to try and look for a BIOS update. Hopefully I cna update it from a flash drive, cuz I can't even get an O/S running properly

/\ There was a forum where they claim to have tested it in the same board.

Due to conflicting forum reports and how flaky general CPU support is, I got a dual core CPU instead. So the FX 8250 will be for sale.
