Okay...so I ordered this because at the top it says it works with the FM2 processor but the box doesn't list it...does it work with the FM2?

Intel Socket:LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775 *AMD Socket:FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2it works on almost anything. fm2 isnt old, it will come with some form of a mount .hope this helps

the cooler is excellent. What I meant in my bad english, was that I had trouble installing it on my Asus Sabertooth motherboard with an Intel i7 and one case from Cooler Master. In my case it will be necessary to disassemble the entire PC to install it correctly. Can you understand what I'm trying to explain in broken English of poor quality? Best regards

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.

I actually did not order this cooler, I ordered the GeminII S524. However, in the case of that, its retail packaging doesn't indicate that it works with my socket, the AM3+, but the Cooler Master website indicates that it does work with AM3+, and indeed it does.

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

Be careful and check compatibilities before buy it! My son bought this memory for the motherboard MSI Socket FM2/AMD and the memory burnt the motherboard.

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

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

Fm1 and fm2 sockets are incompatible. It will only work with a fm1 board. You are limited to fm2 and fm2+ with your current board.

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.

No. FM2+ processors have 2 extra pins that make it not fit into an FM2 socket. FM2 processors can fit into FM2+ sockets though.

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.

You need a new FM2 motherboard for this CPU and the FM2 motherboards uses DDR3 memory, my suggestion is, buy an FM2+ motherboard and DDR3 memory

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)

It would probably not work because the laptop uses a version of AMD's VISION processors. These processors help out with the graphics however they use a special socket that is not compatible with this processor. You should find a processor with an FM2 socket however due to the graphics acceleration capabilities of the VISION series you may have compatibility issues with any other processor that you try to use.

No the motherboard is am3 and the cpu socket is fm2 so if you already have that motherboard just look for a am3 processor(cpu)

Yes, it is dual graphics compatible, but the integrated graphics already on the chip would be useless with a Cross Fire set up, the FM2+ as far as I know is not SLI capable. ( but a citation may be required). The FM2+ is designed to operate with a discrete graphics card, you could run dual discrete cards, but it's kinda overkill. The FM2+ is designed with new HSA architecture, designed to work with new MANTEL programs, besides Battlefield 4, their isn't much on the market with MANTEL just yet, but there will be soon, so in that sense it's kinda future proofed. This chip is designed for the gamer and HTPC enthusiast on a budget.

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.

It depends on whick motherboard you have if it is an fm2 also the buos has to be update in the motherboard to 2.1 or 2.2

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.
