Will this CPU fit in my motherboard?

Derpson · Jun 7, 2016

I want to get a new CPU for a little under $100. The CPU I have now is not enough for what I do so I want to get a new one.

That motherboard uses a different socket than the CPU. They are not compatible with each other.

You can however get either the

Athlon X4 860K
or
A10-7850

Depending on whether you need the iGPU or not.

Spectre694 :

So I can get the A10-7850 and it will fit? Because if so I am going with that right away.

Derpson :

According to MSI yes. Make sure to update your BIOS before swapping CPU's as that board only supports the A10-7850K [forgot the K earlier don't think there is a non K anyway though] with BIOS 7721vW6 or higher.

What CPU do you currently have? We should make sure you're not going to accidentally downgrade or sidegrade.

Ecky :

I currently have a Dual Core AMD A4-6300

If you have a discrete video card, or plan on getting one, do not get the A10, instead get the Athlon X4. They're both the same CPU, the Athlon just has the integrated graphics disabled and is something like $40 cheaper.
