AMD FX-8370 stock clock
AMD FX-8370 stock clock
The board doesn't suit a 125w CPU well. I agree, maybe I should wait for a better one. Do you have any ideas on how to reach the stock clock speed without overclocking? My PC often restarts randomly after I try to overclock. Also, why do you mention the SR-71? The Gigabyte CPU list says it's compatible. If you could explain the problem more, it would help a lot.

I'm not sure why you mentioned this, but I've heard these boards only work with AM3+ after a BIOS update. They have a 760g chipset and are cheap. I thought stock clocks might work, especially with a good cooler. I've used this board for about three years without any issues.
The board experiences a weak power phase and thermal issues; none of the Micro Atx boards are truly built for 125w CPUs.
