Is an amd athlon compatible with this board?

Yes but has to be fm2 /fm2+. I have AMD athlon 750K for this board and works fine.

Yeah it should work, Athlons use FM2 socket and in the description of the motherboard it supports AMD Athlon ^^

It can use some Athlon CPU's. I have still not used my MB. I got a MSI A88X G45 instead, so this new board is unused. You can view the CPU Support list for this motherboard here: http://www.gigabyte.co.za/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4683

No if it is anything except socket FM2+ or FM2 it will not fit the cpu slot.

of course. This is a great motherboard and include support to latest AMD® Socket AM3. I buy another motherboard with this processor, but this one is much better.

Yes... more importantly check to see if it is compatible with your motherboard!

First thing is that this board is not micro atx. Secondly your processor must be supported by the chipset.so once these are compatible it will work.

These processors will fit this board as I see on their website. .....64bit AMD® FX, Phenom II X6/X4/X3/X2, Athlon II X4/X3/X2 and Sempron CPU.http://us.msi.com/product/mb/760GMP23_FX.html#hero-specification

No, that AM2 processor will not install. There are some MSI microATX boards that will and are cheap. I mean good, but out of date and therefore inexpensive.

No, you're going to need an AM3 or AM3+ motherboard for that CPU. I would suggest the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3, it has roughly comparable features to this board and is compatible with that CPU.

It should work but it is best to go to the Motherboard web site and check the compatibility. You can also go to the AMD site and check.

Yes , I bought the motherboard and it was compatible. If you plan on doing the work yourself , the old motherboard is labeled so check that first

According to ASROCK's website this cpu is compatible BUT you need a graphics card to go with it.

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.

This board is am3+ so it supports all am3 out of the box, and this is Asus motherboard not gigabyte lol

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

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it. http://goo.gl/7108ON

It should work, AMD MB so its ATI compatible. See http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/

So long as your board has an available PCI-Express x16 slot (A board that supports AM3+ would appear to be new enough to have at least 1) you should be good to go.

Short answer is yes. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A85XMA/HelpDesk_CPU/ Longer answer
