This motherboard is compatible with the new amd cpu architecture "piledriver" out of the box or i have to do a bios update? in other words it is compatible with the fx 6300 out of the box without having to do a bios update?

Hello Ricardo. I bought this Motherboard and CPU combination prior to Xmas. The board accomodates the CPU very well and no BIOS update is necessary. Good Luck

No, it's compatible with all boards that support PCIe graphics card slot. Regardless of CPU Manufacturer. Most PCs from 2006 and up came standard with a PCIe slot. Prior boards it was mixed.

ummm... not sure by what u mean but i got me a motherboard, ram, video card, etc. dropped this in the socket, hooked up a cooler, installed windows, installed steam with all my games and have been gaming for months with no problems, even overclocked this bad boy to 3.7, plays any game out and i can do other things while playing my game such as streaming to twitch this is a great cpu i grabbed when on sale, but at the price now i would just go with the FX 6300.

Jeff, the question you need to confirm is what Socket is compatible with the motherboard on that computer. It has to be an AM3 socket. Then yes, you will be able to use this CPU and you will notice a major improvement in performance. I do a lot of video rendering and it cut my time in half from the Anthlon II 260 I had installed in my pc. Great CPU. I'm very pleased with it... Find it for under $100 and it's a score... Hope this helps.

I have an I7-3770 and did not require a bios update. Recognized the CPU with no issues, very stable board. No complaints.

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

this cpu is listed as compatible with this motherboard on the cpu list... looks the same as yours.very good board for the money AM3+ FX FD4100WMW4KGU(BE) 95W Bulldozer 3600MHz 2000MHz 2MBx2 8MB B2 P1.10

Yes it is. It is compatible with all Intel LGA1155/LGA1156 and AMD AM3/Llano/AM3+ platforms. I would suggest also getting answers from several sources. /r/buildapc on reddit will be a great help to you.

No, this motherboard works with APU processors (combines a CPU with a GPU). The AMD FX-8320 CPU works with motherboards that support the AM3+ socket.

It all depends on the production date of the board you receive. If you are worried about support for a particular CPU, you shouldn't have to worry anymore as all new boards will have a recent enough BIOS for all FM2+ CPUs and APUs.

Here is a list of all CPU's compatible with this board. Athlon II x4 750 is listed there too so it should work no problem. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A75%20Pro4-M/index.us.asp?cat=CPU

It isn't listed on the support list but there is technically no reason it shouldn't. The board has solid VRM and handles high overclocks well. Those are Piledriver CPUs too. They're the same as the 8xx0 series so it should boot if you dropped it in. I'd give ASrock a call or write in to check.

Dear Mariano; You have to find out your motherboard type and then look up to your motherboard manufacturers web site to see if it Works with your motherboard type. There should be a page showing the compatible cpu's with your MB. Or you can call them on the phone and ask them. Bill.

The bios version will depend on when the vendor received the board from Supermicro. The boards we have received all had the most recent, but that is no guarantee yours will. We are using a 6320 (8 core) in our Mobo. Your best source for CPU compatibility will be Supermicro at http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8SGL-F.cfm

It's been running perfectly for over 3 months in my build. I even upgraded my CPU a month ago to an AMD FX-6300, and my performance is much better than the older AM3 quad-core I had in it originally. The only reason you see so many negative reviews are people who either don't know what they are doing, or are upset at what they purchased. I can tell you from my own personal experience, being in the computer business and a hobbyist for over 30 years that this motherboard and most of the Gigabyte boards are high quality and very reliable. Hope this helps you decide.
