What is the fastest CPU this board will accept?

I think that would be the 3770k. But I didn't check, why don't you? Sorry, very grumpy answer, the third generation Intel but I'm not sure about a Xeon. I'm using a 3570 3.4GHz i5. Okay I looked for you and the answer is...drum roll please...The Intel Xeon E3-1290 v2 3.7GHz at $350 today on Amazon.

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.

It does not appear to be listed as a supported CPU.http://us.msi.com/support/mb/FM2A75MAE35.html#support-cpu

You can go to the ASRock website and look at the list of compatible processors.

This CPU will work with either 64-bit or 32-bit, but you would be much better off using a64-bit OS.

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey

Yes, but go with faster RAM 1600mhz or faster. This one is 1333mhz and your board supports faster memory.Example:http://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Ripjaws-240-Pin-Desktop-F3-2133C9D-8GXL/dp/B00FP1VRYC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1409171013&sr;=8-2&keywords;=2133+ripjaw

It will support any AM3+ CPU including the FX series with a BIOS update. I prefer never to use onboard video as for it uses physical RAM for it's video memory. I would recommend a small cheap AMD GPU to go with the board.

You know, I never thought of that. Any processor that is socket-compatible should work UP TO its rated speed (I wouldn't ever overclock anyway-I used to work for Intel & they sometimes locked the processor against overclocking, or used to).

I believe that is true. There is a long list of lga 775 socket processors, but that one is probably the fastest.

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

I would check HP and see if they have a list of compatible cpu if its on there list then ya hp dell boards have real narrow cpu support on there main boards

Normally the MOBO have a specific list with all processors supported! Just find the list and check the processor.

Yes, as long as the model ends in 5 or 6 (the CPU must have a built in GPU if you plan on using the onboard video ports). I'm using a Xeon E3-1226 with this board.

The bios version will depend on when the vendor received the board from Supermicro. The boards we have received all had the most recent, but that is no guarantee yours will. We are using a 6320 (8 core) in our Mobo. Your best source for CPU compatibility will be Supermicro at http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8SGL-F.cfm

The Asus support site for this board will have a list of compatible processors. You'll need to add a video card if you pick a CPU without on-board graphics.

Nope. This board only supports these xeon CPU's: Gainestown Xeon W5590 - 3.33 GHz Xeon W5580 - 3.20 GHz Xeon L5530 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5507 - 2.27 GHz Xeon E5503 - 2.00 GHz Nehalem Xeon X5550 - 2.66 GHz Xeon L5520 - 2.26 GHz Xeon L5506 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5540 - 2.53 GHz Xeon E5530 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5520 - 2.26 GHz Xeon E5506 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5504 - 2.00 GHz Westmere Xeon X5690 - 3.46 GHz Xeon X5680 - 3.33 GHz Xeon X5677 - 3.46 GHz Xeon X5670 - 2.93 GHz Xeon X5667 - 3.06 GHz Xeon X5660 - 2.80 GHz Xeon X5650 - 2.66 GHz Xeon L5640 - 2.27 GHz Xeon L5638 - 2.00 GHz Xeon L5630 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5649 - 2.53 GHz Xeon E5645 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5640 - 2.67 GHz Xeon E5630 - 2.53 GHz Xeon E5620 - 2.40 GHz Xeon E5607 - 2.27 GHz Xeon E5606 - 2.13 GHz Xeon E5603 - 1.60 GHz
