Read a lot of bad reviews on NE about the bios. One question answered states it comes with F4 bios. Will this work with A8 7600 processor?

I run a A8-6600 (which is a 3.8ghz) at 4.5ghz with an H80i liquid cooler and 8gig 2133 memory and it runs flawlessly the F4 BIOS is the best yet. The earlier ones were terrible I agree, I'm sure there is always room for improvement. Always use the latest BIOS available. You shouldn't have any problem.I think the F5 is available.

If it does come with f4 bios. Then no I don't believe itll work, I check and the bios has to be f5 I believe

To answer your question, yes, i will work with any AMP APU. And really, the bios is'nt bad. Ive used it several times, and the resolution is a little off, but you have full control of pretty much everything. CPU speeds and voltages, fan rpm's, pretty much everything you need. Its a little laggy, but the cool thing about this motherboard is the double bios, so in case your primary bios fails, or you get a deadly virus, you can use the secondary bios to fix what ever problem you have. And, it looks great, so if you have a window, you can show it off to all your friends. Hope this helps, good luck! To answer your question, yes, i will work with any AMP APU.

doubt it i went with a 6300 series which is also a fx , you have to use a older processor to update bios first which i tried to do and still could not get it to crank up so i gave up and am using a older processor in the motherboard :(

Yes, using the AM3 Socket, it will work. It may require a BIOS update, but it will work.

I just installed these in a fresh PC build, it is not inherently compatible according to the ASUS list for this Mother Board. It doesn't time properly, however I heard if you can get into bios you can force the timing to 9-9-9-29 and it should work. Problem with a new PC is it wont load bios if ram check doesn't pass. I would recommend a different ram for the z79-a boards.

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.

Yes, it's am3+ compatible, but this mobo won't perform as good as a true am3+ mobo. This is just an old am3 mobo with an updated bios so that it can run am3+ What I recommend you is to buy a truly am3+, non 760g

I am sorry, I don't know, I still have mine, in the box, I ended up not using it, it would not operate my Mother Board, that had E6500 or so in it, wrong bio match. I have looked online, and maybe you have too, it is confusing looking at the charts, that show what cpu goes with what Mother Board. I would talk to a computer tech, I need to do that my self pretty soon, I want to redo my last computer, that I got this CPU for. I replaced everything but the Mother Board, and a tech still couldn't figure out the problem, it worked for him, but never worked when I got it home, couldn't figure that out. I gave up, now limping by with my wife's small lap top

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.

I was in the same position as you. It did not come with the most recent bios but it actually worked with the i7-4790k. You should be fine. If this is for a Hackintosh, I would he wary of this board as mine keeps freezing when I have more than 8gb of ram and the built in Bluetooth and wifi caused me a bunch of problems. Otherwise it is a great board.

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.

Well, the updated support list does include this CPU. Sorry for the previous reply. You may need to update BIOS to F4.

The Bios would need an update, I suggest going for a Z97 board, which you should easily be able to find for a similar price.

Yes plug and play, amazon even updates the bios in their tech support office before they even send it, its a great motherboard but i went with asus M5A99FX evo for 10 bucks more instead only because it has more fan connectors and such. i have a 240mm radiator and 6 fans so i needed more connectors but its one of the best motherboards in its price point. Great looking also.
