Max replacement for AMD A4-3400 Llano 2.7GHz Socket FM1 65W

[IamDavid]

I converted an old HTPC I had laying around to a home severer recently and would like to bump up he processor if possible.

I found this review and chart here at Anand. Would the A8-3800 work since it's still 65w?

Thanks!

Any FM1 CPU will work, including the A8-3800/3850.

A8-3870K will be the best imo
3850 is only a few dollar cheaper, but the clock mult can't be raised
The 65w 3800 will have a premium because it is 65w, but you can do the same with a 3850/3870 if you just lower the vcore a little bit (like in my sig).

So even the 100w chips work? That's very cool if so.

It depends- what is your motherboard? How well cooled is the case? And what is your power supply?

I would go for the 3670K, unlocked quad like 3870K but with lower performance iGPU and cheaper
