Socket FM2 AMD A85X platform

This Micro ATX motherboard uses the AMD A85X chipset and accepts AMD A10, A8, A6 and A4 series processors in a Socket FM2 package. It is aimed at builders assembling a compact desktop that needs basic expansion and legacy peripheral support.

Check CPU socket and memory type before ordering

The board only fits Socket FM2 processors and takes dual-channel DDR3 modules up to 16 GB running at 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866 or 2133 MHz with overclocking. Verify that your existing cooler mounting matches the FM2 layout and that your power supply provides the standard ATX connectors required by this platform.

Six SATA III ports and Realtek Gigabit LAN under

Six SATA III connectors keep multiple drives active during sustained file transfers while the Realtek RTL8111E controller maintains 10, 100 and 1000 Mb/s network throughput. The PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot and one PCI slot stay electrically stable during extended sessions, and the Realtek ALC887 codec continues delivering eight-channel audio without interruption.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and the chassis I/O back panel. You will need to supply a Socket FM2 processor, DDR3 memory modules, storage drives and a power supply yourself.

Which DDR3 speeds can I use with the 16 GB limit?

The board supports dual-channel DDR3 at 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866 and 2133 MHz (overclocking). Populate two slots with matching modules up to 8 GB each to reach the 16 GB maximum.

What does the single PCIe 2.0 x16 slot mean for a graphics card?

It provides one full-length slot wired at PCIe 2.0 x16 bandwidth. A modern graphics card will work but will be limited to PCIe 2.0 speeds rather than PCIe 3.0 or newer.
