has anyone paired this with the fx 8350 cpu? if so, how does this perform for heavy gaming?

I use this on the 8350 with an ASUS mobo and 8gb RAM. Pretty solid I'd say. I don't play too many heavy games, but these are the games I do play and generally get over 80fps in all. http://prntscr.com/3apvor

Yes, the result is very good, no hiccups at all. Stick a coolmaster 212 evo on that cpu and run sc2(cpu and gpu intensive game) on ultra settings get well over 100+fps @ 1080p while staying at about 45 degrees on both the cores and gpu. In fact since it worked so well I purchased another one of these to put in crossfire. I will be trying Crysis and BF4 as benchmarks soon.

That is a good question. I bought the card for fast data processing instead of gaming, so I would not be a good judge on this one.

While I have not paired it with the fx 8350, I have paired it with the fx 6350, and there is not a single game I can't run right now. I play games such as Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and Titanfall on ultra settings on a regular basis. The only game that pushes my rig right now will be Watch Dogs, but the only upgrade recommended is the processor you are asking about. You should not have any trouble playing heavy games with this combo!

I bought an FX 8350 along with this card, and there are absolutely no problems with either the card or the processor. It'll be able to perform amazingly on all modern games, running most at high settings, 1080p 40-60FPS

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.

Yeah it runs LoL fine, especially w/ a good graphics card, I wouldn't be running 20 programs at once while trying to play LoL, honestly ive had this for about 6 months but instead you should think about the FX8350, Im about to get it as well. its more money but its a investment and literally like 4x better than this

it is compatible with that CPU ... is a very decent cpu for gaming you will have no problem running any game in high settings.

The included fan is a 3-pin. And it is quite loud. I replaced it with a 4-pin pwm (with equivalent size and air flow) from Cooler Master. It is much quiter, but this cooler only performs OK for the amount of money I spent in total. Luckily that build will not be overclocked, and I can be happy with the definite improvement over the stock part.It will cool your fx-8350 according to the specs on the box, but I would not use this on a high performance CPU like yours over something like the CM Hyper 212 unless your case cannot fit a tall heatsink.

It should work. I've been using an AMD FX-8350 with it since October 2013 with no issues

I would say a sound no, as this cooler is rated for a 70 watt TDP, and the FX-8350 is rated as a 125w processor. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for my 8350, and it works great. I recommend buying a cooler that's rated for a 125w TDP processor from any vendor, including Arctic, Cooler Master, Zalman, Noctua, etc.

Yes. I am using it with a "AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core Processor" and an "ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX MB". It works great and has been for the last 7 months. I do not use the effect lighting on it as I have my case out of view...but performance wise..this is a great power supply. And at $169.99, it's a steal.

I'm running the fx-8350 on this board just fine. This is an amazing board with loads of features at at a bargain price. Love the color of the board too

Yep, using it now and it works great. Using the sabertooth 990FX r2.0 with the AMD FX8350 cpu

Hi incurablegeek.I found this information that can help you solve your doubt is a little more efficient in the 8320 tests performed on this page ...http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-Phenom-II-X6-Black-1090T-vs-AMD-FX-8320Thanks..

I was running this with an AMD FX 6100, 16GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, and ATI Radeon 7770 Gigahertz, and I was getting a lot of dropped frames and BSODs. I mostly blame the FX 6100. I have upgraded to the FX 8350. I would recommend, that if you're going to use and AMD FX CPU, get a MB with the 900 series chipset, fast quality RAM, and spend money on a good GPU. You get what you pay for with the GPU.

Yes it is. I use it with my fx series 4300 CPU, and it works amazingly. Great choice for mid-upper level gaming with AMD

Yes. I'm running a FX-8350 overclocked to 4.7GHz on a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 and all 32GB are running at 2000 stable. I haven't tried to push the memory any farther, really no reason too.

Yes, it will work with the FX-6300 (95W) CPU. It will NOT work with the FX-6350, that model is the 125W CPU. 95W is the limit for this board.

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

BTW go with an aftermarket cooler for that 8350, i have the exact same cpu and it runs quite a bit hotter then any cpu i've ever owned but if you can manage to keep it nice and cool its performance will amaze you.
