AMD FX6300 compatible socket type

[laxmru]

I have AMD FX6300 with Asus M5A78L-M LX mother board. However, it has SATA II. I want to upgrade my motherboard with SATA III. However. I am not finding any Asus mobo with AM3+ with SATA III. Can I buy any AM4 or any other socket motherboard with SATA III?

No, you need a board designed for the FX socket with the 6300. FX is EOL , so hardly any options are available.

That one ATX Form Factor. If your looking for Micro-ATX, there was only one made for the 900 Series Chipset. It is not longer produced. You might find one on eBay.

Don't waste money on the FX platform , save it towards a new Ryzen core.

Why not just buy a SATA III 1x pci-e card?
