Since AMD is now selling Richland third-generation accelerated processing units (APUs), it helps to know what motherboards are ready for them.

Micro-Star International has just published the list of socket FM2 platforms that are ready for the processors.

The best of the lot is the MSI FM2-A85XA-G65, and will be best paired with the AMD A10-6800K. It has Military Class III components and uses the DigitALL Power design.

The OC Genie II will boost the performance of the PC as a whole, just by pressing a button. It is an MSI proprietary technology, useful for anyone who doesn't want to risk tweaking the VRM and the BIOS personally.

The other motherboards are below.

Based on A85X chipset: FM2-A85XMA-P33, FM2-A85XMA-E35, FM2-A85XA-G43.

Based on A75 chipset: FM2-A75MA-P33 and FM2-A75MA-E35.

Based on A55 chipset: FM2-A55M-P33, FM2-A55M-E35, FM2-A55M-E33, FM2-A75IA-E53.
