steve burnell Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) this is turning in to a disaster lol, no delivery yet and now the cpu is now saying out of stock - expected 2/10/12 !! and keeps changing the date every day, decided to get a refund on the parts but have made a couple of changes to the order, will this AMD Bulldozer FX-6100 Black Edition work with the motherboard listed? i've also taken the dvd-rw drive from the list as the motherboard has an ide socket so i will be able to use the old drive Edited October 2, 2012 by steve burnell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroFight Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I have an FX-6100, it plays Battlefield 3 on high fine, it SHOULD work on any AM3+ socket board providing BIOS is up to date...don't count on that though, I am on my phone so can't check but if someone could confirm that would be great Edit: Just realized your board has socket FM1, as far as I am aware, all FX processors are AM3+, thus the FX-6100 will NOT work in your board. FM1 is preliminarily an APU socket. Edited October 2, 2012 by EuroFight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Steve, I've attached a copy of Gigabyte's "official" CPU support list for the A55M-DS2 board. Not that motherboard manufacturer's cpu/memory QVLs or Support Lists are always accurate and/or up to date, but it doesn't appear that the FX-6100 is compatible with that board. It's my understanding that AM3+ processors (as a general rule of thumb) do not work with socket FM1 motherboards, so my recommendation would be to steer clear of that combination.

That's because the FX-6100 is AM3+, and the A55M-DS2 is FM1 My bad, sorry, post edited accordingly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarWeeny Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 ah the joy of people not reading a thread before posting, must be nice to be careless. i provided him a build and based on that he wants to put an fx processor in the board i recomended him.

War - since you're fond of calling other contributors out publicly I'll reciprocate. This sentence is irrelevant to the topic at hand. At best it's a waste of written word, and at worst it's inflammatory. Keep to the point and if you have something valuable to contribute then do so without the un-necessary preamble. You've been cautioned.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Gigabyte GA-78LMT) My fault, sorry To the OP, the FX-6100 is supported by that board with a BIOS update (With any luck the board will be already flashed with the Bulldozer BIOS) Edited October 2, 2012 by EuroFight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
