If friend, no problem as long as you do good as indicated by the manufacturer. greetings.

Yes it does, I have an AMD FX-8350 running at 4.5 GHz with no problems at all

Depends on the rest of your setup but assuming you have a decent processor and a good amount of RAM you'll be fine.

yeah i have an fx6300 with this mobo. All fx cpus use am3, which this one has.

If your running stock clocks on your cpu and gpu you'll be ok, probably. I don't know the rest of your setup. Real world power draw is one thing and recommendations are another. I could get your setup to draw 500 gaming or 1000+ if overclocked. So that's my 2 cents.

I'm running 4.433 on stock right now. Temps can get warm but not detrimental if you turn up the cpu fan speed. Completely stable as well.

No you have to buy an AMD CPU that fits the socket on your motherboard. Look for a CPU with AM3+ or AM3 in the specifications. I believe the most powerful CPU that this board supports is 95 Watts so some of the really high end processors which use over 200 watts of power won't work. Either of the suggested CPUs suggested would work great in my opinion. The Phenom II's are getting hard to find but the FX models are plentiful. Please don't confuse the sockets, all these abbreviations can get confusing. An FM or FM2 socket based CPU won't work, for instance. Hope this helps more than hurts.

I'm sure it would. I have my amd 8320 OC'd to 4.3GHz stable. I've had it to 4.5 but I start to overheat.

Most likely will. I didn't need to for my fx6350 but sound drivers and some other simple things didn't work until I updated the bios.

Hi Kenneth, You are absolutely correct. The CPU on this model is an AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz.

No Listing for AMD FX 6300 support for your Gigabyte Board although they do state it does support AM3 but not AM3+, however if you do not already have a x6 core you can however drop in a AMD Phenom II x6 which should still give you very good performance since your board does support Phenom II with the latest bios update F6F.

No, there might be ways to slightly overclock it or force the 4 cores to run at highest turbo speed but the improvement is insignificant. Get a K version if you really want overclock.

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

The answer is both yes and no. The actual clock speed of the processor is 2.4 but with a max turbo frequency of 3.4. It is Intel's "Turbo Boost" technology. This link will give you the rundown on the actual chip in this machine http://ark.intel.com/products/75117 . I hope this was helpfulIts actually a pretty decent chip-set, i have no complaints and would recommend this machine.

Yes you can! I use an AMD Athlon IIx4 640 3.00GHZ Quad. This board will take AM3 and AM3+ Processors.

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

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