My msi motherboard crapped out on me. Read some reviews, seems to if happened for a lot of people... Was an msi 970 gaming motherboard.
I have an amd 8320 black edition and a msi r9 390 8gb video card, I need a recommendation for a mobo that wont blow a fucking capacitor when I try to run them... I don't even fucking overclock but that msi shit broke. Thought they were a good manufacturer?
i'm kind of barely skimming but why can't you return it under warranty again?
Julian Martin
Use your 1 year hardware warranty dumb ass
Samuel Bailey
Thought id sell the replacement they send
I already did I'm just thinking if it already fucked up why keep using it?
Bentley Foster
AMD quality shines through again
Jace Carter
The processor and video card are fine its the motherboard that flubbed up
Daniel Roberts
>My computer happened to have a bad part >Automatically one manufacturer is shit >Everything works perfect for forever unless its shit
Holy fucking hell, just replace it and quit being a child.
Daniel Anderson
Well if a motherboard capacitor fucking explodes within 4 months how much confidence should I haven in the company who made it?
Never buying MSI again, cheap bullshit
Logan Edwards
You could try reading the spec and finding out that board isn't designed for that high power from that CPU and those beyond it.
Christian Lee
4 months should be within warranty. Get that shit RMAd
Andrew Gonzalez
Uh because no matter what you use it will have a % failure rate, and being the unlucky 1% doesn't mean that the odds suddenly changed
Adrian Mitchell
...
Ian Rivera
Amd 8320 is only 125w
Bentley James
It's not unusual for 8320/8350/9590 to go up to and exceed 250W. I'm Sure it can do that solely on boost clock.
Aiden Collins
Bullshit its just a shitty product. I've never had a mobi fail before.
And the 970 gaming motherboard supports processor of 200watts, my processor is only 125w, slightly over half of whatnits advertised to handle, how can anyone defend msi over this?
Dominic Stewart
Because don't believe AMDs lies. Those CPUs at load are monsters on electricity.
Adam King
So what motherboard is best for a and 8320 and an r9 390 8gb video card?
I want to buy a mobo that wont crap out on me every few months
Xavier Sullivan
Oh wow amd really is fucking shit
>the memes are actually true
Juan Collins
Buy something that's actually rated for 200+W on the CPU. If it's advertised for the 9590, then get it.
Jonathan Ross
Ask your mommy to buy you a new one
Ian Garcia
If its a CPU and a motherboard designed for overclocking and I never did that why did the msi motherboard fail so fucking hard? I've not seen any evidence amd 8320 uses more than 125watts when not overclocking so why can't msi's "200 watt" motherboard handle it? Or are you an msi fan boy who'll insist i was 1 out if 10000000 unlucky people who got a defective brand?
Said it before, ill never buy or recommend msi again. Shitty components, overpriced bullshit hiding behind a "good name"
Jason Wright
Like what? What's a good mobo for this CPU?
Benjamin Thompson
Should have bought a mac
Brayden Price
>buy cheap chink shit >get cheap chink shit
go with gigabyte next time
Isaac Anderson
>projecting
I buy everything with the money I make at my job which is why I'm looking for advice, so I don't waste hard earned money in cheap bullshit.
Jackson Martinez
Because the board isn't designed for 200+ watts on the CPU. That (125) that AMD lists is not under load. As seen by the above graph under load it peaks beyond 200w. That is what killed ops board. He didn't read the spec and fully understand what he purchased.
I don't know, I don't buy AMD. But like I said, if it's advertised as supporting The 9590 then it will be sufficient.
Aiden Walker
Evga, always Evga.
Cooper Murphy
Holy fuck all the retardation in this thread. OP, your motherboard died because MSI boards are literally the worst possible boards on the market for AMD. Even something from ECS would have been better. They're known for using the cheapest garbage voltage regulators possible.
all the people ITT saying shit about how the motherboard can support the 8320 even at stock are stupid motherfuckers. You just had a defective board that shit the bed. Nothing more nothing less.
I own an fx-9370 (a 220w chip) and have stuck it in boards that only supported up to 140w. I just manually turned down the OC so the board didn't grenade. But NONE of the boards I have ever used for extended periods of time were MSI. Asus for AMD is top dog and gigabyte a close 2nd.
>coming from someone who has done extensive AMD overclocking
I've been in the game since original bulldozer was being hyped. I had all my AMD chips up to and above 5ghz. So I know I'm right when I say the board died because it's shit. Never trust MSI
Austin Jenkins
First comp build, I assumed 125 watt CPU meant 125 watt CPU. Can you blame me?
What about gigabyte fx990? Its supposedly supports 220 watts... 20 watt diff though, not a lot... How the fuck does a 125watt CPU kill a 200 watt supporting motherboard? I dint even iverclock the damn thing.
Christian Anderson
It didn't. Stop believing this bullshit. MSI is just garbage. Slap that 8320 into any decent non MSI board and you're golden.
Hows this? I just want something to last. I don't overcloxk or do hardcore gaming
Camden Morris
Isn't that showing the power the entire system is using?
Parker Bailey
(((Gaming Motherboard)))
Ian Allen
It is yes. You can minus 80w from the top end for AMD and you get the ~125w mentioned for the processor
Grayson White
Fine yes. I was just going to recommend that one as it has all the new bells and whistles. (USB-C, m.2,)
Alexander Miller
So thus will def support amd8320 black edition, and msi r9 390 video card?
Gavin Collins
yes with no problems. Video card is irrelevant. You just had bad luck with MSI as most do. I had an MSI fail on me just powering a dual core athlon x2. As far as MSI is concerned on the AMD side of things, they're trash. Garbage.
Lucas Butler
should be good, that one says it can handle the 9000 line.
Joshua Hill
Alright going to go ahead and buy it. Hopefully it works well... If msi sends back my board ill prolly sell it for cheap in eBay.
First PC build, so disappointed in msi... Will prolly replace gpu as well. Is it possible my other components were damaged from the mobo capacitor?
Adrian Baker
99% no. MSI cards are actually rather solid. I wouldn't go dumping that if it's not giving problems. I had a radeon 7850 twin frozr 2 from MSI that lasted forever. One of the fans seized. The card itself never died.
Intel MSI boards are good too. It's only the AMD AM3+ socket MSI boards that are hot fucking garbage.
