i have a ASUS M5A78L-M USB3 and a M5A78L-M LE/USB3 AMD AM3+ DDR3 USB 3.0 Motherboards which one would be better with a gtx 960 strix 4gb and also with this one M5A78L-M LE/USB3 AMD AM3+ DDR3 USB 3.0 Motherboard the max ram is 1866mhz and the ram i have is 2400mhz both 16gbs would the motherboard auto downsize the ram?

[Alexalmighty]

yes the motherboard will underclock the ram if its to fast

[Alexalmighty]

the M5A78L-M/USB3 seems to be the best bet of those 3 although these are rather low teir boards

[Alexalmighty]

fx cpus (amds best) can only handle 1866mhz ram speed wise why would you buy ram much faster than the cpus limit?

[Monk(BenzO)]

see the ram was a present so couldn't do anything with that yno, but the two motherboards i was told that number 2 would be better suited for the gtx 960 and the ram but now all these problems are here like im pretty sure there like equal and that the motherboard might not be able to down size it, its just stressfull:/ 1(ASUS M5A78L-M USB3) 2(M5A78L-M LE/USB3 AMD AM3+ DDR3 USB 3.0 Motherboard), so basiclly i wasted money ffs

[Alexalmighty]

as i said before all of them will be fine but the M5A78L-M/USB3 seems to be a bit better although i believe any would work

yeah that cpu is a acceptable budget cpu shame you cant overclock that cpu with that mobo fx cpus are made for overclocking

[Monk(BenzO)]

so if i just got a better mobo it would be much better? what one would you recommend?

that mobo is fine if you dont plan on overclocking if you are thinking about overclocking youll need a much higher quality (and expensive) mobo

hmm ye see im from ireland and everything is over priced here xD so i hope this will do for at least a year or 2

[Monk(BenzO)]

[Alexalmighty]
