Will MB GA-890GPA-UD3H support this CPU FX-9590

[Spill]

The store I am considering ordering from, and inforamtion reported by Speccy is confusing me on the socket type.

I read this wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM2

And from reading that I think the motherboard should support that CPU.

This site also says the MB is AM3+

MB info from speccy:
Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Model GA-890GPA-UD3H (Socket M2)
Chipset Vendor AMD
Chipset Model 890GX
Chipset Revision 00
Southbridge Vendor AMD
Southbridge Model SB850
Southbridge Revision 40

The only AMD FX cpu's supported by that motherboard are the FX-6350, FX-4350 & FX-4130.

The GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard supports mainly AM3 socket cpu's and 3 specific AM3+ socket cpu's. Always check the manufacturer's website and not wikipedia. :p

Yeah but I wanna, and dindt like their info LOL

Stopped being lazy for 10 min and checked revision on the MB sticker. Its 2.1

Now the question is if its worth to upgrade to FX-4350 or FX-6350 from Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz oveclocked to 3.8 very stable

Get a new AMD mb or try Intel

Go for intel and get a Skylake i5-6500K which will be released today! :D

the amd 700-800 chipests were designed for aii/pii cpus and modded to run fx at nerfed specs
for fx4-8 you should get a 970-990 board
for fx9 you need a 970-990 board capable of 220w cpus, with a 8+2 or better vrm config with heatsinks

Now my brain hurts

Thank you all for the interest in helping though.

Could not find a board matching: "970-990 board capable of 220w cpus"
Did some searches and it seems a 1000w is recommended. Really dont want to buy a new one. I have a 650w now. If its cooling the consern is I have one of those high tower cpu coolers with 2 fans.

What I am considering now:

AMD
Black Edition AMD FX 9590 / 4.7 GHz prosessor
GA-990FXA-UD3

Intel
GA-Z97X-Gaming 5
Core i7 4790K / 4 GHz prosessor

Slight price difference here. Not had Intel for many years. But read its the thing for gaming.

As for Skylake i5-6500K any idea what the price point is?

i7-4790K is way better then FX-9000 series dinosaurs that overheat, gobble power and have crappy core performance.

"As far as the Intel Core i5 6500 goes, the price listed is $179 USD."
http://wccftech.com/intel-skylake-s-lineup-list-price-i7-6700k-313-i5-6600k-225/

And yeah the i7 4790K performs way better than the FX 9590.

Well this makes me feel whole lot better for ordering the i7

[_I_]

if its for gaming, get the i5 and save up for a better gpu
2nd gen or later i5 still beats fx8-9 for games

[Spill]

Ordered the i7
What do you know about the GPU I have btw? You are right on it needing upgrade as well though

[_I_]

what gpu do you have?

[Spill]

GTX 760, bought it not so long ago. Waiting for price to drop on 4 GB cards. It will become the new standard at some point.

[_I_]

gtx760 isnt a weak card
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

gtx 970 or r9 290+ would be a nice improvement

[Spill]

Yeah 970ish is in the future. Seeing how game developers tend to cater Nvidia more, and perhaps the other way. I got nvidia.

But to be honest I am pretty happy with the GTX 760 and even this Phenom II 965. I was really just gonna buy more ram lol
