Depending in the number of fans that are coming with the cabinet. I think 2 fan will be there in the cabinet. Add another 2. One in top exhust, another as side/front intake wherever possible.

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 is not available at computer empire....is ASUS M5A97 okay?

 

[d6bmg]

M5A97 is a good board, but not as feature rich as 970A-UD3.

 

[Sainatarajan]

Yes. The Gigabyte has 8 + 2 Power Phase while the ASUS Has 4 + 2 Power Phase . So the GB is a good OC'er .

 

[the_conqueror]

M5A97 won't be able to OC the FX 8120 as good as GA-970A-UD3.

M5A97 won't be able to OC the FX 8120 as good as GA-970A-UD3.

Prove it with some links to good review!
AFAIK, both boards are same.

 

[Sainatarajan]

The Gigabyte Has More Power Phases than the ASUS one making it a better OC'er .
