FM2+ (A88/A68 Chipset)

AMD Motherboard By Socket and Chipset: FM2+ (A88/A68)

Everyday Computing, APU Gaming

Designed as an Entry-Level platform to be used with AMD’s APU technology, FM2+ motherboards prove to be great solutions for those looking to build a system for general usage as well as Entry-Tier gaming. Providing users with APU hardware choices such as the A8-7670K and the A10-7870K, those new to PC gaming are provided with APU options that do not require discrete graphics cards in order to play the latest games.

By combining the Radeon graphics cores directly onto the same chip as the traditional CPU cores, gamers are given an easy-to-assemble solution – identical to the AMD technology featured in the latest gaming consoles. This means gamers only have to decide on a motherboard which contains their desired feature-set and preferences. Allowing support for USB3.0, 7.1 channel audio, SATA6, PCIE 3.0, and DDR3 memory up to 2400MHz, the FM2+ platform ensures fast storage capabilities, incredible options for audio, and multi-GPU solutions for gamers using a discrete GPU alongside the APU technologies.

Compatible with AMD Trinity, Richland and Kaveri APU hardware, along with the AMD Athlon X4 CPU solutions – the latter requiring a discrete GPU for standard functionality, the FM2+ platform gives casual users and gamers everything they need for their computing purposes. Available in standard-ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form-factors, users can build systems of the traditional tower aesthetic, cube-size systems, and console-size PCs.

Chipset Compatibility:

Socket FM2+ – AMD Trinity and Richland A4, A6, A8, A10 APU. Kaveri A6, A8 and A10 APU. Athlon X4 CPU.
