Title: GA-M68MT-S2 : Athlon II x3 460 support?
Post by: guardianx71 on June 15, 2011, 10:24:57 am: Hello everyone. I'd like to ask if anyone knows if this m/b supports the athlon II x3 460 cpu , as I can't find ANY motherboard at all that says so at their cpu compatibility list
Thanks in advance

as these processors are pretty new the CPU support list has probably not been updated to reflect them which is why you can't find a motherboard that will support them.

The best advice I can offer is that you contact Tech Support here: http://ggts.gigabyte.com/tech.asp?ClassID=2&Country=Greece&SourceWeb=B2C and ask them as they shouldl know which boards will support the CPU.

Post by: absic on June 15, 2011, 02:21:13 pm: Yes, I know what you mean and keeping such lists up-to-date before the CPU's hit the market, would be really helpful but we have come across similar issues when AMD releases new/updated CPU's.

It could take Gigabyte several days to respond so you will need to be a little bit patient and they may also have to test the combination of CPU and Motherboard before they can reply.
