What type of CPU for this board?

[cornelp]

I am looking at this board, and I am trying to figure out which CPU it takes? I been trying to contact the manufacturer itself, but probably will take forever to respond to emails.

Anyone know which CPU this board takes?

Board:
Foxconn NF4K8MC-ERS

Thank you all for your help.

90nm is the size of the die
0.13 is the manufacturing process

that board will take Athlon 64/FX CPUs built for Socket 939 motherboards. (2800+, 3000+, etc.. FX-51, etc..) just make sure you get one for socket 939. there's some for socket 754 as well.

So which one will it work on that board? The 90NM or the 0.13?

Or maybe I dont understand it right, cause the Difference between them in price is bout $10-15.

Any reason why? Both are OEM and same speed. AMD 64 bit 3500+ 939 PIN.

Thank you

Either should work as long as it's socket 939. Hopefully this board's BIOS is updated to recognize 90nm CPU's. Check Foxconn's website to see if it supports 90nm. Look in the BIOS download section.

90nm are Winchester versions, they produce less heat and require less power than their 120nm counterparts. Don't mind the 0.13, it doesn't matter. Get a 90nm CPU if you can.

No, they are both the manufacturing process. .13 = 130nm and 90nm = .09. The die size is measured in mm2.

Like you said, it will work on any 939 athlon 64, but neither the 2800+ or FX-51 are available in socket 939. Socket 939 CPU's are the 3000+, 3200+, 3500+, 3800+, fx-53, and the fx-55. Make sure you look at which socket it is before ordering, the 3000+ and 3200+ are also available in socket 754.

ok i was proven wrong. twice. *goes back to his hole*

thanks for the correction.

Thought the fx-55 was strained silicon 0.13 process?

Yes that's correct.

The website does not state if its for 90 MN or 0.13 Micron. It just says:

Processor:
AMD Athlon? 64/Athlon 64 FX, Socket 939 (939-pin), 1600/2000MT/s


BIOS:
4Mb flash EEPROM w/ LAN boot, PnP, ACPI, WfM, DMI 2.0,


I emailed them 3 times for other things and everytime they took bout 1 week to respond. I been waiting for that board for a while, and they said it will be available in end of Feb, which I can wait.

They have the CPU Athlon 64 Bit 3500+ (0.13 Micron) OEM for the price I wanted, but the 90 NM one is $13.00 more. I dont want to buy the wrong one.

If U say that the 90 NM one takes less power and produces less heat, then I guess I will get that one, heck 13 buckx aint bad, just want to get the right one.

Thankx guys. Any updates would really help me quite a bit.

It does not matter if the CPU is 90nm or 130nm(.13). As long as your CPU is socket939, it will work.

THANK YOU SIR FOR CLARIFYING THAT FOR ME.

I appreciate it very very much. Guess I will get the one that takes less power and produces less heat.

Thank You all for your help.
