There are no directions included for FM2 socket, and it is not listed as supported on the packaging. Not to say it may be possible to make it work, but it doesn't appear to be officially supported.

No, Kaveri use FM2+ and this board only have FM2. The two socket use different pin configuration and is not compatible.

Look at the Socket for the Processor (FM2+) and look at the Socket the Motherboard has, If they are the same then they are compatible.

F1 and F2 connectors are different sizes. If you're using the battery for a Verizon/FIOS cable system it will fit.

This board only works with FM2 socket AMD processors. It does not work with the phenom processors. For that you need a board that has a AM3 or AM3+ processor socket.

Yes but has to be fm2 /fm2+. I have AMD athlon 750K for this board and works fine.

As long as it is fm2 it should work. Remember to get fast clocked ram as the apu will be needing it. Goodluck and happy gaming!

Yes, using the AM3 Socket, it will work. It may require a BIOS update, but it will work.

As long as your processor is meant for an fm2 socket then you should be good.

No, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003K0YM60/?tag=pcpapi-20 AM3, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008B6ONXK/?tag=pcpapi-20 AM3+, The FM sockets are a completely different socket. GL mate.

Wait a minute there! This board is NOT for your fm3+ CPU. You need the MSI 970 Gaming board. This one is for a fm2+

From what i have heard the FM2+ socket IS backward compatible to FM2. I haven't tested this myself. I would have to say that YES it would work. -and yes processor is a beast

Yes, this set up works well. As mentioned earlier, the FM2 socket is found on the AMD A6 Fusion Series processor and this Asus board. we have built a number of these with success. Also the CSM in F2A55-M/CSM indicates it will be available by Asus for a year at least. (Corporate Stable Model)

Sorry dude, it will not. The Athlon x4 750k has a socket type of fm2, and the board you are looking at is an am3 socket. It's like putting the round peg into the square hole

I used the AMD A8 5600k quad core with no problems. Not sure about the FM2. Sorry.

Fm2+ but it doesn't work. Avoid it trust me after 4 rma's they admitted it doesn't work but would refund my money.
