Need quick answer. Is Asus AMD Radeon R7 360 compatible with GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2H ?

Solution


I would not recommend it due to the limited PCI bandwith.

It doesn't appear to be compatible.

Support for AM3/AM2+/AM2 processors: AMD Phenom™ II processor/AMD Phenom™ processor /AMD Athlon™ II processor/AMD Athlon™ processor/AMD Sempron™ processor

* If you install AMD AM3/ AM2+ CPU on AM2 motherboard, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0 (5200MT/s) to HT1.0 (2000 MT/s) spec; however, the frequency of AM3/ AM2+ CPU will not be impacted. Please refer "CPU Support List" for more information.

I think you misread my question, or maybe I asked it in a wrong way. I want to buy the R7 360, and the system that I have is that mobo + that cpu. Will it work ?

It will still work whether you recommend it or not.
