1)I have Chiftec power(500W),but he have only 4 pin for CPU,board have 8pin,Can i run FX 8320,whit stock cooler,and no OC?I don't have good GPU,no requires extra power

2)Do I need to flash BIOS to last version for FX 8320?I think board have 1309 bios chip

3)I read on this forum,Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 i have problem whit CPU red light,thats true? And have bad sound out ports? 😞 😞 I give 140euro for thats board,and i now found this bug.really i can't believe ASUS have this problems,i hav and M2N68 PLUS(3yerars) and no problems,that why i buy this board -.- 😞

4)Stock cooler for FX 8320 have 3pins,or 4pins connector?Because this board dont work whit 3 pins(i think)

Dr.Jovan97 .. Welcome to ROG.

Replace the PowerSupply. You need juice to that cpu.
The V.2 should be FX ready, no problem there I would think.
Your whole post keeps coming back to the same place, PowerSuppy upgrade.
Worry not of your english .. ever.

Best of Luck. Keep us posted. .c.

Hi,thanks 🙂

Just on 4pin 🙂 Just to anythings work,i give so much money(i don't buy high end board ever),but ok 🙂

get 750W power supply.
500W = not good

stock cooler; it will work, no problem.
3pin = normal fan
4pin = PWM fan option.

Yea I know,but i see on YouTube,most guys use 550W,for FX 8320 and R8 or R7 GPU,i will only use Power for CPU,I will be not OC-ing.

It is your system and you can use which ever PSU you are happy with.

It will work the 500W - but will it work long and will it work well? That I do not know and only time will tell. If the PSU does die and if the PSU does kill your CPU and other hardware please do not blame the forum or ASUS. We have tried to help you as best we can. The advice we are giving is based on using the hardware every day. Not sitting in a call centre and reading from a list of FAQ for the motherboard. 🙂

Have fun with your system.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.
