Title: GA MA 785 GT WITH FX Processor
Post by: PS3AMBRE on December 12, 2013, 01:14:47 pm
Hello

I saw on gigabyte' motherboard GAMA 785 GT UD3H that only FX 4130 was compatible with my motherboard.

I would like to know :

1) Had somebody tried it with that processor FX 4130, and with which result
2) Is it possible to put a better one ( FX 6300 ) even if not specified in gigabyte specs

But i think tere are some mistakes on the link above ( for ex : socket am3+ for processors )

Thank's in advance for reading and answers of course.

ignore these 3rd party sites with compatibility charts as they could easily be wrong.  check the official charts for your board on gigabytes site

You wrote, GAMA 785 GT UD3H that only FX 4130 was compatible with my motherboard.

For your information, that reference on the CPU Support List has the notation where "Since BIOS Version NA".
NA is the abbreviation for NOT AVAILABLE. There is no support for that FX CPU on that motherboard.

Buy a APU 5600K or better with some AMD FM2/+ instead.FM2+ boards allow you to install the next AMD APU next year.
Much better choice due to better power efficiency.Better performance and overclocking overall as well.Powerful integrated GPU
Unless you want six or octa cores stay away from AM3+ boards.
