would this motherboard require an update to run my amd a10-6800k apu?

No, it shouldnt. The motherboard comes with a cd. Just run the cd and you should be fine.

Just bought this recently and the bios has been updated to work with that processor. If you are planning to run a separate graphics card all should work great. I set this up to run the on chip graphics and could only find drivers compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (not Vista or any previous version of Windows). If you run Windows 7 or 8 operating system and on chip graphics, the correct video drivers can be downloaded from AsRock.

It should be compatible. Both the board and the CPU use AM3+ socket. For the incompatibility alert, did you check that you have enough power from the PSU?

I would just call their support number to be sure or ask someone on /r/buildapc

Yes, with BIOS version 4306 or later. This is from the ASUS website. It's not clear if you can update a board with an older version with the I7-4930. I don't know how to tell the BIOS version from visual inspection but you might check with the ASIS web site.

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it. http://goo.gl/7108ON

I'm not sure but I am just going to warn you that it is a integrated CPU so if u ever plan on upgrading CPU or something like that you will have to get a new motherboard.

No. The AMD series of APU's require a socket FM2/FM2+ motherboard. I would recommend you just build a new machine, as you can't get parts, nor can you upgrade your Dell.

You can if you update the bios unless your lucky and they have an updated one for you. I suggest getting the impact vii version of this board. It has the z97 chipset. It will save you time.

Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.

Yes...your CPU chip set isn't a factor. ...you need a PCI-e slot...which all motherboards over the last 5 years have.

Its a processor, not a motherboard, which may or may not run with the components you are listing.

Yes, you can run a graphic card with this processor. If you have the right motherboard and use the specific cards that will work in tandem with the apu. You can go to AMD or ATI website and it should have that information.

Dude, I have an A10 APU without video card and works fine medi / high quality

You should be fine as long as your motherboard supports pci-e x16 (2.0). Just be sure to update your bios through the motherboard manufacture. You may run into some other issues, but it depends on what you've got (integrated graphics, etc). I would also make sure the power supply is at least 350 watts.

David already answered your question, so you may have to update your BIOS if it is not at A06 or later. Keep in mind that this Processor does not come with a fan or heatsink and the one on your E6700 may or may not be up for the task. Also use a good quality thermal paste such as Arctic Silver. Upgrading just the CPU will not force a re-validation through windows.

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.
