AMD APU /motherboard

jterrenceg · Aug 19, 2014

Is a AMD A10 7800 FM2 R7 series compatible with a ASUS F2 A55-M motherboard. and if not what would be recommended with an ASUS R9 270x graphics card?

jterrenceg :

Getting an APU and a GPU would be kinda counterproductive. I would suggest an Intel CPU and mobo with the GPU.

No, The motherboard is an FM2, and the CPU is FM2+, fm2 cpu's are compatible with FM2+ motherboards, but not the other way round unfortunately

Which of these things do you own?

If you are going with discrete card then I suggest either going AMD FX series or Intel I3 or I5 based on budget.

Neither.

For that price get the below, its A LOT more powerful platform.

The motherboard is already installed came with the PC. I've already purchased and installed The R9 270X. i upgraded my PSU to 700 watt from 350. When i powered up nothing on the screen and the pc froze up. I need to know what i need to make this work. sorry but this is all new to me and this is a project I'm working on for my grandson.

A10-7800 is not supported: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/F2A55M/HelpDesk_CPU/

Since you have a video card, I suggest the Athlon X4 760K , that would be the fastest available chip without integrated graphics for that motherboard.
