I have been running a msi 970a-g46 bios version 2.5 with a amd fx 8320 2 radeon hd6850 crossfire 8 gb 1600 ram Seagate 1 tb harddrive and ultra lsp 750 w psu with everything running at stock speeds I have run prime95 with all 3 torture tests for 20 minutes each all temps were good no crashes I just wanted an expert opinion to know if the msi 970a-g46 board will handle this long term I have run this setup for 6 months done some intensive gamming like crisis 3 on high settings at 1080p and bioshock infinite high settings at 720p and haven't had a problem all temps good using cpuidhwmonitor .

It should be fine at stock settings, as peer the supported CPU list, but I wouldn't push any sort of overclock on that board. I didn't see any specific specs when I took a quick look at it, but you really need a minimum 8+2 VRM to maintain stability when overclocking these power hungry CPU's and my gut tells me this board doesn't meet those specs.

You should be fine except for overclocking. I agree with Jabrono and from experience.

thanks for the response I will just continue to run everything at stock speeds.

I am with the others - you will be fine as long as you run stock... with so many of the AMD failures in the past this was the issue. People were putting in new power hungry CPUs into boards that were not designed for them, though they can be supported. You don't have to be a genius to see that will end badly.
