On AMD install, such as the A10 CPU, is a backplate required like with the Intel CPUs?

You use the one that comes with your mobo. It comes with a dock for AMD and Intel! Really easy setup

Yes it is, but Noctua includes all the mounting equipment needed to install the heatsink. Why good instructions also.

On my case the mother board back was exposed so it was easy to put on the backplate. So if you might need to take the board out if you don't have access to the back of it.

I was not able to find the AMD I5 Processor, but the minimum requirements to use the Ultra Station would be a system that has the equivalent or better processing speed and cores compared to the Intel i3 Dual Core 1.5 GHz / Intel Atom "Bay Trail" Quad Core 1.33 GHz. If you are still not sure, our Customer Service team would be more than happy to help you find out if your computer's spec meet the minimum requirements by calling our toll free number (888-988-0488).

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

I have a 2011 mother board and it mounted fine with the supplied hardware. It was a breeze. My motherboard did not need a backplate though. I could be mistaken, but I think most 2011 motherboards come with a backplate built into them.

No. The i7-2600K is a socket 1155 processor. The Asus Z9pe-D16 requires socket 2011 CPUs like the Dual Intel Core Xeon E5-2620 Hex Core processors.

Yes they are compatible. They are both AM3+ sockets. If you are doing a new build and not just updating your processor, I would recommend going with an FM2 processor and board. The AMD APU processors are really fast, and don't get as hot. If you decided to stay with this processor, make sure you have an exhaust fan, it does get hot in the case with the stock fan. This processor runs fast and hot under loads. If you plan on over clocking, get a bigger heatsink and fan!Hope this helps!

You need a separate card. The AMD FX line does not have integrated graphics.

I can't find any information on the existence of an A7 apu/cpu. The A10-7700k is a power hungry cpu and fits in FM2+ socket that needs to be cooled and probably can't be cooled enough inside a TV

Well it all depends on who u order from... Like mine was only the processor no box. But typical it comes with a heatsink and instructions. Great dual core processor!!

The box contains the CPU, heatsink and fan, an instruction sheet and a 1 inch AMD label for your computer case. The CPU is very well protected in the box. I have been enjoying my AMD Sempron 145 for several months with no problems at all.

Ill be honest with you, the processor is great but i still cant find the way to put it into the new Dual Graphics System (Graphics Card +Gpu from APU) but i got 2 r9 270x in crossfire so i dont need it very much. But answering your question about if getting or not an A10 APU ill tell you, go for a FX instead, because if you got a graphics card dedicated you wont need the Apu GPU at all...

I don't have this plugged into an AMD board. You should just need to have compatible OS and Drivers installed for it to work. With an AMD processor you wont be able to take advantage of the Intel WIDI feature but it should work.

you will need a hard drive a processor and RAM barebones means that you add the hardware yourself. Only thing inside is the motherboard.

It comes with brackets for intel and AMD which includes the FX line so you shouldn't have a problem.

You can install only one CPU but there are restrictions with RAM configuration when doing this. But it does work.

Fairly simple to install a cpu . it comes with everything you need to attach it to the fm1 motherboard . look up a tutorial on installing an amd cpu on youtube
