Early version of AMD desktop A-series APUs, namely the Trinity and Richland APUs were compatible with motherboards having FM2 sockets. But the Kaveri version of APUs required motherboards with FM2+ socket. Now there is a slight difference in pin configuration between the two sockets as the comparatively newer FM2+ socket carried two additional pin sockets. The FM2+ socket can easily accomodate APUs that were FM2 compatible without a worry, but those APUs that require FM2+ socket, the Kaveri version of the A series APUs in this case, will not fit in a motherboard having a FM2 socket. Thus it is essential to know the exact model of the A-series APU processor and find out what the box (or the website of the product) says about the socket to find the perfect match or to keep things simple, one can go for any motherboards with the FM2+ sockets as it will accomodate either versions of the APUs.
