Motherboard compatibility? I know the Sabertooth AMD FX AM3+ motherboard will support this but does anyone know if this processor will be good on this motherboard below?

I am using the M5A97 and it has no problem with the FX 6100 using hyper X DDR3 1600 rams. You can OC by using the evo utils or advance bios manually. I was able to hit 3.8ghz/4.2/4.5 turbo using stock heatsink and temps were never higher than 39c.

My 2 cents... All AM3 and AM3+ designated CPU's are pin compatible, however, the '+' in the AM3+ designation means that the FX series of processors can take advantage of the enhanced power management and support features available on AM3+ motherboards (and some that only needed a BIOS upgrade to make them FX/AM3+ compatible). The '+' features lend stability and added power for serious over-clocking. In other words, the FX series can plug into any AM3 motherboard, but unless it is designated as an AM3+ motherboard (or FX/AM3+ compatible), you can't expect to take advantage of its Bulldozer enhancements. IMO, it's doubtful whether an FX processor can perform to its potential on a motherboard that is simply 'BIOS upgraded' to AM3+ compatibility.

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

Hi Mirna:The best place to find processor compatibility is on the Intel website.Enter the motherboard model : DH87RL in the search. Go to the link for:Intel® Desktop Board DH87RL. You will see a link for Compatible processors in the "More Information" box.Follow this link to look up compatible I3 processorsThis will show you without a doubt which I3 to order.Hope this helps as I always verify processors and memory modules are compatible with the Intel motherboard.Enjoy the weekend!Jack

I checked the Intel site and it that board does not appear to support that processor check http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/cs-012668.htm

Unfortunatly it does not. If you're looking for AM3+ support try this board which I also own and can vouch for. ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

No thats an Intel board and doesn't support it, this processor your looking at will only work with the newer boards 990 series and its an am3+ type motherboard. Youd have to build a new machine to be using this processor.

Yes, you can use the fx-8150 CPU within a AM3+ motherboard. I am currently running this setup so i know 100% it has 0 problems. Liquid cooler is a must for overclocking. The stock air fan is loud but, the liquid cooler is a much needed improvement. Go with this you cant go wrong great value with this setup. My processor windows rating is 7.8 with overclocking to 4.3GHz.

Hi Kris,This board only supports processors using the Socket C32 interface, which is not compatible with AM3 in any way. You will need to buy Socket C32 opteron processors (NOT G34!) for this board.

"Yes" to both questions. It's AMD's big AM3+ chip so it will almost certainly fit the motherboard. Gaming performance is mostly dependent upon the video card and RAM, not the CPU, so this is as big of a CPU as you would need for any game. It's an excellent choice for a gaming rig.

It appears to be an AMD, AM3+ socket motherboard and should handle this super fast processor just fine. I'm running mine on a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard and love it. Not only is it faster but it's speed comes with cooler running temps and lower power usage than older processors.

Felix,You will need an AM3+ motherboard to use with an AM3+ processor. Unfortunately, your motherboard will not work.

Depends. Does your motherboard support AM3+ Chipset? Are you happy with your processor's performance? If your motherboard supports this chipset, I'd say go for it if you feel like your processor is a bit slow! It's definitely worth the money!

From www.service.asus.com, re. SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 supported CPUs: FX-9590(FD9590FHW8KHK, 4.7GHz, 8C, L3:8M, 220W,rev.C0,AM3+) PCB:ALL BIOS(min):1708 Due to the high TDP, please be noted there are limitations while using this CPU(i.e. special thermal required..)

The mobo supports AM3+ socket processors and the A10 is a FM2 socket so they aren't compatible. If you want this mobo than go with FX CPU with discreet graphics. I chose this setup with a radeon hd7870 and I love it. Works great for me with amazing power and didn't cost nearly as much as I could have spent.

This is a great motherboard but it does not support the processor your looking at. Below are a few links in the board you looked at, the processor you looked at and a link to Gigabyte who will have a board that will work well. Intel seems to be getting out of the desktop board industry, the are focusing a lot on server products, processors and the Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing). Processor: http://ark.intel.com/m/products/47922/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5650-(12M-Cache-2_66-GHz-6_40-GTs-Intel-QPI)#@product/specifications Motherboard: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh55tc.html Gigabyte: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/list.aspx?s=42&jid=0&p=2&v=1 Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions!
