Hello everyone.
So , I'm upgrading my PC...
I'm thinking of buying AMD FX6300.
CPU : http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-FX-Series%20FX-6300.html
Everything's seems fine here. But , I came across few pages which stated you need appropriate motherboard for it.
So , this is my motherboard
Motherboard : Gigabyte M68MT-S2P (3.1)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3922#ov
(Look below the " overview "
"To enable AM3+ AMD FX-Series CPU support, please update your motherboard with the most current BIOS found in your motherboard’s download section." )
Here's my suspicion : My motherboard supports AM3+ socket ( Revised ver 3.1 , not 3.0)
But , when I checked the compatabilty thing..it doesn't show FX 6300.
Maybe , the Vishera CPU's were never updated in the list?
Can my mobo accept FX 6300? Since both are AM3+?
I don't want to buy a new mobo. But , is it compatible ?
Thanks for reading guys. Hope you have a good day
Specs : (At Present)
CPU : AMD Athlon X3 445
Ram : 4 GB (1333 Mhz)
GPU : Nvidia Gefore Gt 520
Motherboard : Gigabyte M68MT-S2P (3.1)
PSU : 450 W
