is this AMD's best FM2 socket proccesor? price is not a factor to me

NO - 6800K is fasterAMD A10-6800K advantagesAMD A10-6800K In single-threaded programs, the A10-6800K has 2% better performance.The processor has 9% higher performance when running multi-threaded applications.The microprocessor is 1% faster in memory-intensive tasks.This CPU is unlocked. Therefore, the processor can be freely overclocked on most motherboards to get greater performance. Be aware that overclocking can void your warranty.The A10-6800K has 3% better price/performance ratio than the AMD A10-6700 CPU.

Yes, I think so. If you look at the clock speeds, it wi within 10% or the top GHz.But all those processors have power ratings of 90-100 Watts, while the 6700 is only 65Watts, So, 10% less speed, 33% less power. I have a big CPU cooler with a 120mm fan turning slowly, it is nearly silent.

No. The new AMD A10-7xxx apu is on the new FM2+ architecture. It's incompatible with the FM2 socket.

ok no to:AMD Fx 8350 (its a fm3) as apposed to what the mother board is designed for fm2+/2. yes to everything else

I use only Asus Mobo so the smallest one would be the: Asus F2A55-M/CSM FM2 Socket it is a MicroATX , Socket FM2, AMD A55 FCH, DDR3 2400 over clock (OC) MHZ Memory, Raid, 8-CH Audio Gibabit LAN USB 3.0, PCIe 2.0 QUAD-GPU CrossFireX Ready. This was on www.tigerdirect.com Item# A455-8503 I have never used the Micro boards But in my opinion Asus is the best boards out there (on 11/16/2013 the price was 72.33 you might be able to find it on sale from other sites cheaper so please check around.... Hope this helps

If the CPU uses the FM2+ socket-type, it won't fit in an FM2 socket because it has additional pins. FM2 CPUs will fit in both sockets.More here - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Kaveri-AMD-FM2-FM2b-Socket,22949.html

The Arctic website says the Apline 64 GT Rev. 2 will fit an AMD FM2 socket. So yes, it should fit your CPU.

Sorry for the delay. The e-mail initiating this conversation when to my non-main e-mail. Nope. This is an FM2 socket, which is incompatible with AM3+ chips (read: anything Phenom). You'd need to specifically buy an AMD APU (Specifically the AMD A#-5#### or A#-6#### series processor).Hope that makes sense.

No if it is anything except socket FM2+ or FM2 it will not fit the cpu slot.

Any FM2 board will do but I suggest a hight end board, I've been using the Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 since last year and it's great, however, any high end board will work. As to the graphics that's your choice, you may want to read a profesional review from Anandtech.com or Tom's Hardware to understand the differences and make an informed choice depending on the use. Have fun!

The processor you have mentioned is indeed a 100W FM2 processor, so yes. Reference: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bulldozer/AMD-A10-Series%20A10-5800K.html

Go with an a8-5600k trinity. It's the same price. You could also go with an fm2+ socket a10 kavari core.

Yes. Sockets FM1 & FM2 are treated the same with respect to CPU coolers. I'm currently using this M4 with an FM2 socket. Everything is good.

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

I believe it comes with the mounting brackets for LGA sockets however I used mine on an amd fm2 socket,

Yes, the socket on the board is FM2. The F2A85-M PRO supports all AMD A-series

I do not know what a FM2/FM2+ SOCKET is. But it does a very good job on my Mother borad and CPU. Asus Extreme Maximus MB

Yes it is. I use it with my fx series 4300 CPU, and it works amazingly. Great choice for mid-upper level gaming with AMD
