What's a good budget mobo for a AMD 8320?

z0mbi3 · 3 Nov 2012 at 13:05

I'm looking for a cheapish board that will be good for clocking. What's worth a look these days?

I'm looking to spend around £50, with a bit of flex depending on what's about.

Thanks in advance.

Well I'm after it for the video encoding aspects, and I'm due an upgrade so my mines pretty much made up here

ok, well in that case, from the reviews on this board, it seems to be a good one

My biggest piece of advice is please check the CPU support list to check the CPU is supported.

Also check for different revisions of the same board as some may not support it.

Example,

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte 970A-D3 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard ** FREE NEXUIZ GAME ** £69.98
Total : £79.88 (includes shipping : £8.25).

You need the D3 rev.3.0 to support the 8320, the DS3 does not (according to the website).
Rev 3.0 comes with the correct bios installed as it is the release bios.

Alternatively.

But make sure it comes with the correct bios support. Ask.

Stulid beat me to it.
