I as age gamers have upgraded and bought with this mainboard with the FX8350 Octa. Since then I have not stutter when playing more and the information in the System Performance Index speak for themselves 3x + 2x 7.9 7.8 - at least not at the price -. So much better not go. But dear readers !!! Who has a gamer case of Cyborg - (as I had) CAUTION !! The mainboard fits ... but the case caused by a stamped sheet steel groove a short circuit, ie if you do so, a Board Shop - Buy yourself a larger housing (BigTower) which company does not matter just not "Cyborg".
