Socket FM1 platform for AMD Llano APUs

This MSI A75A-G55 motherboard accepts AMD Llano APUs in the Socket FM1 package. It is built around the AMD A75 chipset and follows the ATX form factor for standard desktop chassis. The board targets builders assembling a system around an integrated graphics processor.

Dual-channel DDR3 up to 32 GB

Memory support is the specification that determines compatibility. The board runs dual-channel DDR3 at 1600 MHz natively and can reach 1866 MHz when overclocked. Four slots provide a maximum capacity of 32 GB for applications that benefit from larger memory pools.

Multi-GPU layout with PCIe 2.0 lanes

Two PCI Express x16 slots operate at x16 and x4 speeds under the PCIe 2.0 standard, allowing crossfire configurations without halving the primary lane width. Three additional x1 slots and two legacy PCI slots remain available for add-in cards. The electrical layout sustains bandwidth during extended compute or rendering sessions.

Questions about this item

Will this board run my AMD Llano APU without a BIOS update?

The board uses the A75 chipset and FM1 socket, which are designed for Llano APUs, so it should work out of the box.

Can I install 32 GB of DDR3 memory in four sticks?

Yes, the maximum supported capacity is 32 GB across dual-channel DDR3 slots at 1600 MHz or 1866 MHz with overclocking.

Does the primary PCI Express x16 slot run at full 2.0 x16 speed?

The first x16 slot (PCI_E1) operates at PCIe 2.0 x16 while the second x16 slot (PCI_E5) runs at x4 speed.
