Will an AMD FX-6300 work with an AsRock N68C-GS FX

Sorry for necroposting, but I'm considering the exact same upgrade. Did the FX-6300 work out for you and was it stable? It looks like ASRock has removed it from their list of supported CPUs along with several other FX-series chips. ASRock > N68C-GS FX

That is very interesting, I would shoot them an email asking to be sure but if it worked back then I don't know why they would change it. I wonder if someone screwed up the list, or if they did it because of the memory confusion (AM3+ must use the DDR3 slots on that board). I would think if you have the highest BIOS then you will be okay. You might want to jump to 8GB (2x 4GB) though to get the most out of it. What PSU do you have?

Yeah, it's odd. They seem to have removed all the CPUs with more than four cores from the list at some point.

And I sent them an inquiry. Would have done it earlier, but I had to crack open the tower to get my mobo serial -- they actually require that in the support contact form.

P1.40.

Yeah, I really wish it had four usable slots. Got it as a warranty replacement for a pure AM3 board, so, I guess I can't really complain.

What PSU do you have?

450W -- running GTX 560, SSD & 2xHDD.

Yeah power is adequate. I'm interested to see what they say, I wonder if the vrms don't handle it or something.
