Does those MOBOs handle this CPU?

[shottyx]

Hello guys, im new on this forum, i've reading and reading about my processor/mobo but i haven't find anything, so im gonna post my problem..

a week ago i bought an A10 6800K AMD with 2GB Radeon 8670D Integrated / 4x2 gb RAM 1600mhz HyperX / 500GB Sata HDD / and a a lower power supply (Which i changed already) and it comes with this "super cheap and weak" MOBO called ASROCK FM2A55M-HD+

So when i go to the guy who build my pc he already says to me "Notice that GOOD MOBOS have 4 slots for RAM instead of 2 like this one".. 2 Days later he text me and tell me "Your CPU requires too much from this mobo, its a low gama one, i've changed ur Power Supply to 850W and im putting some heatsink and fans.. at the end of the point my pc is running at 30-28 celsius and I can't even run it at 4.1ghz(his speed) i had to lower it to 3.4ghz.. but the case is open, and in front of an Air Conditioner, whenever im going to play i need to turn it on to really cold .. So may it be this super weak mobo who is making me having heat problems?

So as part of the solution, if i change to this one
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391208341&sr=8-1&keywords=motherboard+a85x

or this one?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english, if there is any missunderstood tell me i will edit the thread lol

What heatsink are you using? The stock heatsink that came with the processor should be fine for non-overclocked usage. You shouldn't need to underclock the processor just to get the computer to run. 28-30 C is actually a decent temperature. How cold are you expecting the computer to run?

The number of memory slots have nothing to do with the quality of the motherboard. Also, you don't need an 850 W power supply just to run your computer, unless you have a couple of discrete cards you aren't telling us about. Honestly, I think your tech is a bit misguided about a couple of things.

Can you list the rest of the parts you are using in your computer, including the case?

Sorry about all the questions I'm asking. I just want to make sure I understand your problem correctly.

Well the reason why your motherboard has only 2 RAM slots, is because it is a mATX mobo. This does not mean that it cannot be used for gaming purposes. I did not understand though what do you mean by saying:

"Your CPU requires too much from this mobo, its a low gama one, i've changed ur Power Supply to 850W and im putting some heatsink and fans."

what heat problem? 30-28C is cold. cpu's 60C is warm 70C is hot.

850W psu is 3x too much for your system so I suspect its a poor 850W psu. Microatx boards have 2 dimm slots not because they are 'cheap and weak' but because that are small, but perfectly capable.

i think the builder doesn't know what he is doing, or is taking his customer for a ride if he is charging.

Crazy stuff... I run a GTX580 with a 3770K and a E-ATX asus mobo, with 3 internal disks, and I use a 750W PSU...

At 3.4 ghz PC at Idle reach 30-34c / with a Browser, any app 38-40c / League of Legends or CSGO 60+ He turned on the thing at the BIOS SETUP "Overheat protection" So whenever the computer reach 61-62c it shuts down..

At this moment im not using any discrete Video Card, but i will eventually get one

The CPU is running at this moment with 2 fans, one at 4100RPM and another one at 3100RPM and one fan making the air flow next to the power supply at 2000-1800rpm (its a slow one) and also too it's using a Heatsink

PD: I know it should be okay, but it isnt, EVEN before he started to add things he made me watch the excesive level of heat CPU reach on the BIOS, whenever the pc turns on and you go right into BIOS u can watch how it starts at 35c, and its insane, in 5 mins CPU reach 70-75c AT BIOS

4100rpm and 3100rpm?? I think that is WAYY too fast and noisy I guess..

 

[shottyx]

Yeah it is, this is the power supply Im using..

don't worry about the link, its like an amazon but from my country(Venezuela)

and yeah the fans are really noisy

What the .... is that?

what brand is that?

I can't remember any of my builds for the last 10-15 years that had a PSU that looked this badly build.'

I looks almost like a DIY job. (If it is, then that's very dangerous and really, really cool😛)

Update:

Okay...I found out its a dell..
Probably not so bad then but they should be ....They should be embarrassed by that sloppy product.

 

[Gate9er]

Do you have any budget at all?

 

[13thmonkey]

61-62 is not a shutdown temp, modern cpu's will throttle to maintain a safe temp, so whatever he has done in bios it's wrong.
Your builder is the problem here. Can you send us a picture of the inside of your case? use imageshack.

FYI - I run a 350k@4.3GHz, Gtx580, 2x HDD, 2xSSD, 4x 120mm fan on a 600W supply, and it only pulls 380W from the wall at peak so a 750W supply is not needed, a good 400W would do for you, a poor 750W should NEVER be used.

 

[shottyx]

this is my cpu at this moment..

Yeah, i have 300$ on Amazon, i spent like 280$ on the processor + ram and stuff..

 

[Gate9er]

What case do you have?

 

[shottyx]

an SFX one

 

[Casper Larsen]

an SFX one

That's like saying "What PC do you have?.........A white one"

 

[Gate9er]

an SFX one

You must give the exact model of your case to see what things it can accommodate..
