I haven't tried a fx-6300. But it worked for FX-6200 and FX-8150. I bet a FZ-6300 will work.

check this AMD compatibility page for specifics, "890FX Board Manufacturer Asus Form Factor ATX". http://products.amd.com/en-us/recommendedmbfilter.aspx?f1=AMD+Phenom%E2%84%A2+II+X6+Black+&f2;=1090T&f3;=E0&f4;=AMD&f5;=890FX&f;6=Asus&f7;=ATX&f8;=125.000&

Check your motherboard specs. If the fsb is 1066 Mhz then it should match your cpu fsb also. I know 780i mobo supports 1333 and 1066 Mhz.

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.

Yes. According to information found on another merchant site this is in fact a trinity core. Which is weird because I have owned this processor for awhile now and never noticed that. For 30$ more you can get the Black edition with over clocking enabled. However both are good processors the black is recommended for gaming

If it has a pci-express slot and power/supply has 6 pin pci plug you should be good to go.Make sure you download drivers and AMD applicable performanceprograms i.e. AMD catalyst. Good Luck.... Rudy

It should be compatible. Both the board and the CPU use AM3+ socket. For the incompatibility alert, did you check that you have enough power from the PSU?

You have to look at the system board and it's specifications. You will have to see if it is comparable with this CPU's specifications. Cheers

Going with this CPU from the I5 would be a small downgrade. If your looking to upgrade onto AMD go with at least a FX 6300 or better If you have the socket to fit. The FX 6300 is a 6 core if you can afford the 8xxx series ( 8 core), that's even better. This is a great CPU but in all honestly it would be a slight downgrade from the i5 you have now.

Here is a list of all CPU's compatible with this board. Athlon II x4 750 is listed there too so it should work no problem. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A75%20Pro4-M/index.us.asp?cat=CPU

It will load and work right out of the box. i installed the FX8350 8 core pile driver and it worked. could not get a windows score thou so updated the bios to the new 2.0 and it worked. the new 2.0 bios is great it adds things to the board that are really nice. it's easy, just went to ASRock site and loaded the windows version for the new bios for this board. This is one of the best M.B. i have ever used. this thing is rock solid i hope this information helps you Ricardo. good luck with the new board.
