Thinking of upgrading my APU to an A10-6800k (FM2 Socket), do I need to update my bios like with the 7850k?

I would definitely update the BIOS anytime you change the CPU esp. upgrading

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

The bios version that came with mine didn't support my processor (i7 4820k) all I did was load the latest bios on to a USB and follow the instructions and in less than 10 minutes it was up and running. The instructions for updating the bios are very simple, you don't need to install anything to update the bios, all you need to do is have to motherboard connected to the power source.

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.

F2A88XN-WIFII got the MOBO in Jan 2013 and it would NOT POST with 7850k . So I have No Idea of the In Box BIOS version.But it is a Rev. 3.0 MOBO ! So I sent the MOBO to gigabyte. when it can back it POST'd on first tryand it now has BIOS ver. F3 . staying with F3 .Because of ATI\AMD staggard release of the A88x chip set and then the 7850k at least 6 months later,it is basically unknown what BIOS version is out there in the on the shelf MOBO's .I like the MOBO. realtek HD 892 azillia audio , on board WiFI , and Kaveri GPU .Only a shop based re-seller that has FM2 pre-kaveri CPU on hand could answer your question.

My question to you is what are you upgrading from? because I have this mobo with an A10-5800K and it works like a champ.

No it is not, this is an FM1 chip. I am not aware of any AMD APU that works in AM3 or AM3+. Here is some info on this chip and socket type: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-A6-Series%20A6-3500.html http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20FM1.html

Yes. The processor fits in a FM2 socket. This motherboard has a FM2+ socket which is compatible with both FM2 and FM2+.

They are both FM2 sockets it will mount and this motherboard should be able to handle it but the north bridge isn't as fast as the a10

No, it does not because this motherboard has an "FM2" APU socket. All of the Kaveri APU's require an "FM2+" socket on the motherboard because the Kaveri APU's have 2 new pins (older APU's [Trinity and Richland] will work fine in the new FM2+ socket, but the first generation Llano GPU's - that were made for the FM1 socket - will not). If you are looking for comparable Asus motherboards for the new A10-7850K APU, but in the new FM2+ socket for Kaveri, your best options are: "A88X-PRO" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G47W6DM/ for a full-size ATX motherboard or model "A88XM-A" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EWHNI6K/ for a micro-ATX motherboard. If you wish to use this older motherboard (F2A85M-PRO), the best comparable APU that will operate inside it is the A10-6800K (Richland generation part). Please do understand that the chipset (A85X - Hudson D4) will be dated, and will not have the updated PCI-Express 3.0 bus that the new chipset (A88X - Bolton D4) has. If you have any further questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

Sorry can't answer about that motherboard, but I'm running it on a Gigabyte M61PME-S2 motherboard which supports AMD Socket AM2+ CPU's (Athlon X2 6000 processor) and a thermaltake 800W power supply which I upgraded from a 400W power supply

update your bios first then buy and install the AMD FX-8350 .according to asus weebsite http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p;=1&m;=M5A87&hashedid;=Sy2zparhZzfQeQp0it should work with the original bios. buy here AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor

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

This does work with the FM2 here is the list of supported sockets.AMD :FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+ and AM2Intel LGA, 2011, 1366, 1155, 1156, 1150 and 775

Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.
