Does the 870 Extreme3 R2.0 support the AMD FX8300 processor which is the base 95w 8 core processor? I dont see the FX8300 8 core 95W specifically listed here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870%20Extreme3%20R2.0/?cat=CPU 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. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
