So I have a 970A-43G MSI board that DOES support the FX8350.
For whatever reason... I have nothing... no beeps, tweeps, zeeps, or video output. All fans are working and my previous CPU does work on it. I have this nice, new, heat sink and fan that required me to upgrade my case to fit it. Everything is install correctly, power, nuts, zoners, but it still hasn't provided a hint of life.
I've updated my bios to the latest, and required, verison for this CPU.
I've had two CPU's in this board without having to do much more than slap them in....however this CPU has not been the same experience.
I've bought it for 169 for the CPU without the stock fan and heatsink.
I am making bets for another one, but I wanna exhaust ALL theories before I send my RMA.
