Is this a FM2 board or am3+? The official website said it's am3+ and many other website say the same. But the title here said FM2, is this a typo?

I'm pretty sure this is a typo as I currently have an FX-6100 on the board, which uses the am3+ socket

It will only work with fm1 motherboards, fm2 motherboards only works with apu a10

I do not know what a FM2/FM2+ SOCKET is. But it does a very good job on my Mother borad and CPU. Asus Extreme Maximus MB

From the web page on Amazon, under "Customer Questions & Answers": Q: "Will this fit on a socket FM2?" A: "No, this only fits on the following sockets: - Intel LGA 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011, AMD AM2 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM3+ sockets"

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!

From what i have heard the FM2+ socket IS backward compatible to FM2. I haven't tested this myself. I would have to say that YES it would work. -and yes processor is a beast

Fm1 and fm2 sockets are incompatible. It will only work with a fm1 board. You are limited to fm2 and fm2+ with your current board.

My motherboard is am3+, so I don't know about the compaq's motherboard. All I can tell you is what another poster, "Midnight Growler", said in another forum:"AM2+ motherboards only take DDR2 ram but both cpus. AM3 motherboards only takes DDR3 ram and only AM3 cpus.AM3 processors work on AM2+ motherboards because they have both ddr2 and ddr3 controllers (for now). This is is why some motherboards are labeled "AM2+/AM3," in reality both are the same (although you may need to update a BIOS)AM2+ processors do not work on AM3 motherboards because they do not have a ddr3 controller."So that's all I know.

This is an easy install if your motherboard is an FM1. Very Important, it will not work with any other board...

1. Yes, it comes with a heat sink with the thermal paste preapplied. Two, yes. The FM2+ socket is backwards compatible with FM2.

No . Am3 is not compatible with am3+ . Only am3+ is backwards compatible with am3 . But if I am mistaken please correct me

Fm2+ but it doesn't work. Avoid it trust me after 4 rma's they admitted it doesn't work but would refund my money.

This does work with the FM2 here is the list of supported sockets.AMD :FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+ and AM2Intel LGA, 2011, 1366, 1155, 1156, 1150 and 775

Its atx the tools are awesome and all work very well i have an amd a10 4.3ghz overclocked to 4.6 in it just using auto tune get it dude Info. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6360/asus-f2a85v-pro-review-a-look-at-fm2-with-a85x

Yes, this set up works well. As mentioned earlier, the FM2 socket is found on the AMD A6 Fusion Series processor and this Asus board. we have built a number of these with success. Also the CSM in F2A55-M/CSM indicates it will be available by Asus for a year at least. (Corporate Stable Model)

It depends on whick motherboard you have if it is an fm2 also the buos has to be update in the motherboard to 2.1 or 2.2

NO! the MSI A88XM Gaming is a "Fusion" class MoBo for FM2 & FM2+ APU whereas the components you are discribing would be for AM3+... Additionally, as a long time AMD Solutions provider, I can tell you, as much as I like Nvidia, that running AMD video controller on AMD chipset is a stronger recipe for speed & stability! I would also encourage using AMD or Samsung SSD as primary boot & program drive... Hard Drives for BU and Game repository...
