I was wondering if this motherboard was compatible with the Athlon x4 750k 100w processor. They are both fm2 socket but I have heard that the motherboard only supports up to 95w tdp processors so I don't know if it is compatible. Also in the motherboard manual it only talks about apus and not CPUs. The thing is, the 6800k is listed for processors supported and it has a 100w tdp as well. Any thoughts?

I have this board and I run the X4 Black series, its an incredible setup for its price/performance ratio. However if I could do it again I would have gotten an A8 or even an A10 because if you don't get the APU you will not be able to use any of the video ports on your motherboard and you rely completely on your graphics card. If your card ever fails you are dead in the water until you get a new one. (but I always have a spare lying around)
