I got a Asus M599X EVO + AMD FX-6300, but the motherboard recently
failed to boot past CPU_LED. After about 10 years of AMD use, I decided
to hop back to Intel in the hope of feeling some differences.

My last Asus is the reason I went to Gig-a-Byte. Of course I said
something similar once about a Bio-Star motherboard -- which I bought
for a free software incentive, back when binary streaming was more a
picky business, to include a commercial installment of pre-Symantec
Norton Ghost;- the BioStar MB ran AMD's first slotted prototype Athlon
at 1.2Ghz, maybe slower. Biostar's total nightmare in Hardware City.
And the people said then told me I had no business bad-mouthing
BioStar, that there are rotten, as well as good, in every barrel of
apples that gets booted over.

At that near that time I also came to run exclusively with Asus,
making the switch to Gigabyte due to eventual issues that arose on an
Intel-based platform, more than likely also to have followed in
preference for AMD, due largely to a positive reception of Gigabyte
stability and longevity.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your FX-6300. It's a CPU,
probably, built temperately more or less to last fifty years. Maybe
you'll get lucky and see a primo MB AM3+ socket configuration for that
95W Vishera. Gigabtye used to promote their MB specs for industrial
abuse - inconsistently slamming them with dirty voltages, say in the
center of some dirty automotive garage, engineered for protection from
corrosive atmospheric filth, and moisture from constant exposure to
equatorial high humidity. That sounds good to me so far and I like.

Say it is a favor not to get another Asus. Hypothetically you could
then use that extra money, saved from a Gigabyte, and treat some
friends to fancy dishes of restaurant cuttlefish, broiled octopus or
some nice snake, maybe eel or turtle soup.
