everywhere else I see this motherboard it says 3.5 ghz, here it says its 3.9 ghz, is this a typo?

Processor Base Frequency 3.5ghz and the Max Turbo Frequency is 3.9ghz. Off Intel site

According to the Technical Product Specification by Intel, this is an ATX Motherboard. You may go to the manufacturer's website to see if your case support this motherboard size.

Had same concern, my order went through as a 2.4 Ghz unit. You might want to contact seller to be 100% sure.

Received my two and it is in fact 1.6GHz... I guess it was just amazon as usual not taking the time out to get these little details corret. Go ahead and buy and remember it only has 2gb ram so if ya buy two like i did you can just grab an 8gb kit and sell back one with 4gb... no brainer.

it's the second generation of AMD Phenom II processors so you may be talking about the third generation but I havent heard of it beforeyou must compare the features of the two processors against the prices and be sure if it's going to be compatible with your motherboard

This is AMD only since that is the socket it carries - Intel sockets are too much different so they need their own type of MotherBoard. AMD and Intel are to totally different processor developers, been around for many years now. So, if you see things like AM3, AM3, AM2 mentioned in what you are looking at, it's not for Intel processors.

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 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.

Mark probably knows better than me but I would have sworn the I7-3770 (if that's the one you're looking at) is a 3rd gen processor. But, I've been wrong before.

Hi, this motherboard is compatible with the 3.5ghz AMD FX-X8 (FX-8320)?? thanks.

The ASUS Maximus VI GENE DDR3 is definitely a 1150 motherboard, the 1156 is a pretty old standard.

You listed a processor, not your motherboard. It is impossible to tell based off of the information you provided.

Yes it is. For reference, I have an Intel i5-4570 CPU and an Asus GTX 660Ti GPU with this motherboard.

if you check the gigabyte website and lookup the motherboard there is an actual list. it updates periodically. im running a 3.6 ghz 8 core and thinking about upgrading to a 5 ghz 8 core at the moment. I think that a new motherboard would work faster, but I could still run it, although a newer case a super full tower (bigger than an 9 5 1/4" bays tower) would fit correctly because of the heatsink and dual liquid cool fans that I have space requirement is max. a liquid cooled system entirely would work nicely with a larger case than antec gamer 900. the thing with the motherboard isn't only what you can upgrade it to but can it all fit and work optimally correctly together. if you check the gigabyte website and lookup the motherboard there is an actual list. it updates periodically. im running a 3.6 ghz 8 core and thinking about upgrading to a 5 ghz 8 core at the moment.

Yes, very much so. The K at the end of the product number is Intel's way of signaling this. I run mine at 4.6GHZ for hours on end. Very easy to overclock. I did find and odd thing with the "enhanced speed step" used on this chip with my X79 Mobo and ASUS X79 Deluxe. Enhanced speed step came "enabled". I was getting really poor performance with parallel processing using all four cores at max demand. This was strange, it was slower then my old laptop. I then switched off enhanced speed step and it flew like crazy. It left my laptop in the dust. I now keep enhanced speed step set to "auto" or "off". Many people say speed step does not matter - enhanced speed step on this setup does make a huge difference, if you don't mind paying for the electric to run it.

The motherboard that I purchased along with this processor is the GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK. This motherboard is made for OC'ing. I'm presently running this processor at 4.6Ghz and it works fine. I've been taking it up slowly and keeping an eye on core temperature. I am using water cooling.

Must be a screw up by Amazon. I received my Lenovo Y580 a week ago and I can confirm it is 2.4Ghz.
