990FXA-UD7 Gigabyte GA-motherboard (AM3 +, AMD 990FX, DDR3, ATX) Can me my predecessor in terms of "Who wants to prepare for the future is the right place for this board." connect, but I have a "AMD FX-8150 processor, Boxed, Socket AM3 +" and used as the problems go. Since the board came with an outdated BIOS version and of course I had no running and even matching to the board processor, I had to import only to a dealer and the new BIOS version. So when occurring errors (F2) only adapt Bios, then get started and that is really first class. Only four stars because no reference to the fact that there are dealing with an old BIOS version and / or thus not usable for AMD FX-8150 processors. And for the related additional costs for the retailer and the spent fuel.
