Well I am about to move away from Intel going back to AMD as I told Rich about recently. I am going to try out either the new ASrock fx 939 or go with the tried and true Asus m5a99x. I will be using an FX 8350 now they they are $149.00 @ newegg. Good your board is acting normal now.

I cannot fully explain it but I really do not care what the bench tests show, I feel really good with AMD systems though Catch knows I prefer the FM2+ cpus to AM3 and I just seem to have problem after problem lately with Intel systems which is why I went back to AMD and with current system using a pc has become boring again. All my issues come with the Dell Intel All-in-One now.
I also noticed my AMD systems were smoother - which is in stark contrast to what some would have you believe. Nothing wrong with FM2+ once they get the IPC close to AM3 (or above) there will be lots of people shifting back to AMD I think.

One thing I have always wondered about is the Fm2+ apu in a laptop, really can give great performance at a much better price than an Intel laptop, yet it has never really been pushed and I think that apu solves a lot of laptop issues since the biggest issue they face is dealing with crappy onboard video cards.

The Computer next to me is running an ASUS Mobo and an aging AMD Phenom 11 x 4 965 Deneb 45nm Technology and a SSD Hard Drive.
It runs so smooth and gives no problems whatsoever, and it's not that much slower than this computer running an Intel I7CPU which cost me $399 here.
The extra price can't be justified by performance over AMD.

I agree Dougie and as I think about the units I have sold over the years, and they were mostly AMD units, they gave far fewer problems and every one of them is still running that I know of. That was a good cpu for its day as well.
I really feel strongly about the FM2+ apus. They have many advantages and are so inexpensive and especially valuable in laptops that always bottleneck with onboard gpus.
