Hey boys and girls I was wondering if my ASRock FM2A88X Extreme4+ will support AMD FX-6300.

If not can you suggest a processor that is as powerful as amd fx-6300 and is compitable with my motherboard and is around 100$

Thx in advance <3

Hi,

That motherboard is compatible with FM2 and FM2+ CPU's. The FX-6300 uses a different (AM3+) socket, so no you would not be able to use that CPU.

You could get an A10 for around $100, but it is not the same as an fx-6300. The A series chips from AMD have integrated graphics, but the A10 has 4 cores while the fx-6300 has 6 cores and a slightly higher operating frequency. They each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Why are you looking to get a new CPU? Maybe we can recommend better if we understand the need.

Here is a link for an A10-7700k: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113360

Thanks.
