Will n68c-gs fx work with fx 8300 ?

[Lukasamba]

Will it work ? Or its better to buy fx 6300 ?

 

[ryguybuddy]

Will it work, yes.

Should you do it, no.

FX is a dead platform and that motherboard will not play nice with any of the FX series really because of the VRM (voltage regulator modules) and the board doesn't have many.

I recommend a i3-6100 with a GA-H110M-A motherboard.

Good day!

Sorry, budget is very limited, so i have no choice, why there isn't show in this page http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=CPU that he is supported

 

[Hlsgsz]

Neither would work, nor should you invest any money in that dead platform.

EDIT: The best CPU you can put in there is an FX-4300.

Why fx is bad ? I know that intel beats amd, but in future games where you need more cores, amd should work good ?

Problem is AMD cores are weak and not real cores. Just don't get FX CPUs as AMD doesnt use the socket anymore.

A 2-core 4 thread i3 from Intel beats the "8-core Black" FX-8350 in benchmarks and gaming. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-6100-vs-AMD-FX-8350/3511vs1489

and it is cheaper.

No, not even close. Any money you put in that platform is basically money thrown away. It's that bad until AMD releases Zen.
An i3 is what you want, as it will wipe the floor with a 8300 in gaming.

So is there any difference in bf1 from fx 4300 to 8300 ?

yes, I still can't tell you to even consider buying one. A FX-8350 is $160, the same cost as a i3-6100 and a GA-H110M-A mobo.

 

[Lukasamba]

In my country, fx 8300 is 120eur, i3-6100 is 110eur

 

[ryguybuddy]

In my country, fx 8300 is 120eur, i3-6100 is 110eur

Save up 40 euros and get the mobo and i3-6100 then.

 

[Hlsgsz]

In my country, fx 8300 is 120eur, i3-6100 is 110eur

Then why on earth would you get an fx 8300? to save on a $40 MB? Bad idea.

 

[Lukasamba]

I will buy fx 8300 anyway, so does it really work with my mb ?is there anything should i worry ? because i have gtx 960

No, it will not work. Good luck!

Please don't buy the FX 8300. It is a really bad decision. If you are really strapped for cash, get a Pentium G4400 and upgrade to a LGA1151 i5 or i3 later down the road.

 

[Lukasamba]

But why ? Every newest games can be played on it, why it is so bad ?

No. A pure dual core is even a worse idea than an FX 4300.
While with the FX you stand a bit of a chance in SP in DX12 mode, with a pure dual core you would probably see nothing above 35FPS.

 

[Hlsgsz]

They can be played, but not taht well, so it's a bad investment.
Regardless, it would not work in that MB anyway.

yes, I know. I meant grab a LGA1151 CPU and save if you really can't afford one now. a cheaper one would be a Celeron G3900 for $42.

Why that cpu wouldnt work with my mb ?

 

[Hlsgsz]

Because the chipset is too old to support it and so the BIOS will not recognise it.

[Ecky]

It won't boot with an FX-8xxx or 6xxx. The FX-4300 might work but it's basically too slow for modern games.

I don't know where the person in that thread got that screenshot of the CPU compatibility list, but here's the list of supported CPUs for that mobo straight from the manufacturer:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=CPU
As you can see, the only FX CPUs listed are quad core FX 4xxx processors.
