Corsair H80i are examples of products with sufﬁcient cooling capacity.

2. A socket AM3+ motherboard that supports processors with a 220W TDP.

As of September 15, 2015, the compatible motherboard list is as follows:

• Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

• Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0

• Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

3. Chassis exhaust fan mounted near the motherboard VRM components with at least

35CFM of air ﬂow capacity.

Recommended Components for AMD FX 9000 Series:

MEMORY

At least 8GB of DDR3-1866 MHz memory in a dual-channel conﬁguration is recommended. The optimal

choice is AMD Radeon Memory as it is equipped with A.M.P. (AMD Memory Proﬁles) to facilitate the best

possible performance.

GRAPHICS CARD

For maximum gaming performance, AMD recommends pairing an FX 9000 series processor with an

AMD Radeon R9 series graphics card or comparable Nvidia graphics card.

POWER SUPPLY

A 600W or higher high-quality power supply is recommended at minimum. A higher wattage power supply

may be required based on the power draw of other components, speciﬁcally the graphics card.
