I dont see the FX8300 8 core 95W  specifically listed here:

Was that 870 Extreme3 CPU list created before the FX8300 was released?

Thanks



To answer your last question, yes the CPU Support List for the 870 Extreme3 R2.0 was created long before the FX-8300 was released. But there is a story about this.

The FX-8300 CPU was originally sold only as an OEM type processor. That means only sold to manufactures of pre-built PCs. It was not sold at the usual retail level.

Starting in 2016, AMD began selling the FX-8300 at the retail level. So in a sense this is a new processor on the market.

The good news is, as long as you have BIOS 1.80 in your board, the FX-8300 will work with it.
