Not now. The name will likely be scrapped when AMD comes out with something better, as the name means shit to many people. It's basically on life support until Zen comes out, whenever that will be.

First for Phenom III

I got an FX-6300 for $89.99. Doesn't seem so bad.

>>52046639
Mines running nice. Replace my phenom ii 1100T black edition. Way better performance.

>>52046657
Swapped my athlon II x2 for an FX6300 and it won't even boot up

Is your socket AM3+...?

>>52046692
Socket is am3+ indeed.
Everything is in correctly afaik, everything id compatible and works. When i power it up only the front panel power LED turns on.

>>52046412
>The name will likely be scrapped
So AMD basically ruined the FX brand when they resurrected the name for their bulldozer + derivatives architecture.

I really want to help support AMD, I really do but the AMD APU notebook 7500 FX ULV CPU was being outperformed by Intel Core 2 Duos.

>not updating your BIOS before changing CPU

>>52046708
check your wiring, you must of fucked up somewhere.

>>52046708
Reset CMOS

>>52046097
I run one of those for my work pc. It's good enough for some light gaming like Left 4 Dead 2.

>>52046810
I'll try that.
>>52046818
Checked with what mobo manual says - looks correct to me. >>52046827
Will also try

>>52046827
Tried resetting cmos. Didn't work, thanks for the help though.

New socket for Zen. Just kill me.

>>52046909
But that socket will be shared with APUs and other low tier CPUs.

So there finally may be some ITX boards fr high-end AMD CPUs.

>>52046884
I think you'd need a bios update.
Same for going from sandy bridge to Ivy bridge.

>>52046412
This. Once motherboard changes for whatever we get, there will be a new name. And they might keep the FX tag for the high end ones, but just as a tag.

>>52047411
I tried doing a bios update, but the PC won't even power on with the exact same hardware as was in before. It doesn't work at all now. Keep in mind it was working last night.

I vote for Triathlon

>>52047745
you've fucked up m8.
Really fucked up. Reseat everything and clear CMOS again

>>52047772
I don't understand what I've done wrong though, i unplugged everything, removed the motherboard, replaced the cpu then put it all back together. I just don't understand it.

>>52046097
There is no hope and despite what you will always be an poorfag if you own an AMD processor

Best regards, fellow poorfag with an FX.

>>52047799
So do it again, but this time put in only one RAM stick, don't plug any HDD/SSD/DVD/BD etc. Only needed shit like GPU, CPU, 1 stick of RAM and ofc connect everything to PSU. Remember, that you need to connect power button to mobo too :^)

>>52047843
I'll try it again. I appreciate the help too, many thanks anon

>>52047828
But I own a Nvidia GPU, I can't be a poorfag :^)

The Lack of pcie 3.0 hurts me the most.

>>52046412
Nope, AMD said that the Zen CPUs will retain the FX nomenclature
Unless you're saying that the Zen will be shit, which it might

>>52046681
Are you implying that fx is shit because you are too stupid to put together simple components?

>>52048074
amdpoorfags don't need PCIe lanes for their SSD, Raid Cluster, and SLI GPU set up. They just need 8 lanes for their GPU.

>>52048514
No I'm implying that something unexpected and unorthodox happened which is completely plausible and possible when working with PC parts, or any electronics for that matter. I know that the FX series are good and was simply stating that i own one that doesn't even work.

>>52048552
>amdpoorfag
>SLI
nice bait
