Question 3

Will this work as an upgrade on my HP Pavilion? I have the A6 5200 Laptop CPU atm and im wondering if I can upgrade! Please help!

Accepted Answer

This is fm2+ socket is your motherboard able to support it?  Hp should have a list of supported cpu's.  Because it is a laptop this part probably won't work.  Not sure what atm is.  When in doubt read the pdf manual for your computer and look for cpu specs board socket and upgrade options.

It is indeed CPU + GPU but the onboard graphics weren't too great until I got 2133 ram so keep that in mind.

The last desktop I built was years ago.  An MSI Geforce 7900 GT video card and AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor.  It pushed Quake 3 great.  With this APU alone handle Quake Live better than my last setup?

Accepted Answer

Right now I use a laptop intel i5 with intel 4400 and my fps drops and I want it steady

Question 7

Will this work well for gaming and movies? Does this work well on this mother board: ASRock FM2A88M PRO3+ Socket FM2+ 95W / FM2 100W AMD A88X (Bolton D4) 8 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Depends on your gaming but movies just fine. Runs Vanilla minecraft at 60fps on moderate settings by itself. a few mods and such it is still stable. Plays other games well mostly was used in my other pc for things like neverwinter and NFS world. If you need more gaming power get a graphics card to dual graphics with. Far as the motherboard goes, it should work just fine as long as it fits. Runs really cool temps for amd

Question 8

Can I use this processor for my ultra durable Z97 - HD3 motherboard LGA 1150?
it say it's 4th and 5th generation intel  compatible. Is there another processor with a fan I could purchase.? Lastly could you recommend a bluetooth onboardq card to use with this board as well

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. This is an AMD processor, your board only works with Intel processors that have an LGA 1150 socket, just go to the processors and in the filters there should be a socket option (select 1150)(also, Intel and and processors never work with boards made for the other brand). As for a processor that would work, you'll be stuck with a pentium G34xx series at this pricepoint, although you can always upgrade when you have a bit more to spend.    Finally, with your board you would have to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter, because only high end boards have the option to install that type of card (M.2).

Question 9

Does it come with heatsink paste?

Accepted Answer

The stock cooler has a spot of thermal paste already applied. I usually remove this and use some artic silver. you can use the paste that is on the stock cooler. It's more of a personal preference.

Question 10

About how high is it from the motherboard to the top of the fan on the heatsink?  My case is extremly shallow and would like to make sure this would fit inside.

Accepted Answer

Approx 2 inches. It will fit almost any case, its just a standard size heat sink fan combo.
