ASUS F1A55-M LE and AMD APU A8-3870K

Hey guys,

Yesterday my friend ordered the above for a new upgrade he is planning, and I am now having second thoughts as to if this CPU will work with this motherboard? Would I be right in saying any FM1 CPU would work with any FM1 motherboard?

It'll be fine,they do indeed work in any FM1 boards.

Thats great thanks

, I'm more of a Intel fan boy hence the question

but AMD seems to be the best route in his case.

Damn! Thats annoying, its proberly not worth trying a BIOS flash, spose he should just get a 3850 becouse he won't need the overclocking of a K series. So there isn't really a way I can get this CPU working on this board?

Yep cheers guys, he's returning the 3870K and is going for the 3850
