Does a SATA bus work with an AMD A6-6400k?

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

There is absolutely no website I trust that wants to help me know what bus is compatible with the thing. If it's not compatible, then can anyone tell me which one I can get for under 75 US dollars?

I think that's more dependent on the motherboard than the processor?

I concur with Daring...................now i for one, would have to visually see the interior of your PC to give you a full answer, but like he said and i shall say it as well, its more on the Motherboard than the processor.  If i may ask, is this a custom PC?

At the moment, it's not modified. It's one of those Gateway SX (2013) desktops, which as far as power goes, is very weak.

Okay, can you get us some more details of the PC? Use Speccy if you're unsure how.

I think I found the motherboard spec. I beleive it's an AMD A45 FCH.

So you are asking if your PC with the AMD A6-6400K supports the use of SATA devices? Well the CPU is pretty new (released in 2013) so its certainly capable of being used in modern motherboards which support SATA. Now like others have said its really going to be dependeant on if your motherboard has SATA inputs available. SATA has been a common standard for quite a awhile now (first introduced in 2003) so as long as the motherboard was made in the last 10 years it will have no problem wih SATA not even with the later revisons (like version 3.0).

 

EDIT: so if you indeed have a AMD A45 CH motherboard you have 4 SATA 3.0 ports availble.

Well, I never said anything about my PC already having the CPU. But, I have all the good info anyway. Thank you, now I've got some 75$ to spend!

So you are asking if the CPU is compatible with that motherboard? After some reading it looks like the A6-6400K will not work as it uses a different socket (FM2) then what your'e motherboard supports (FT1).

Harmonic SPLinux is right on the money here. You will need a board that supports either FM2 or FM2+ in order to use an A6-6400K. Based on your computer model, it will also likely need to be a Mini-ITX board since a normal ATX or mATX won't fit in the small chassis.

Guys, I think OP is asking is his board supports SATA HDDs?

 

A SATA bus is the cable those use, I think.

It looks like was asking about upgrading to an A6-6400K CPU. Any motherboard made in the past decade or so will probably have SATA onboard, so that shouldn't be an issue. The problem is that he's looking to upgrade to a CPU that isn't physically compatible with the socket in his existing board.

[long gone 8,929]

Here's a potential board, only thing is it's $98.

Well, I'm getting a larger case (IF IT ENDS UP AT MY HOUSE BEFORE TICKLING ITSELF) so I probably covered the chassis. And since I have a low budget and no job, (Still schooled) then I need a good price for the FM2.

Well, if I have to get another motherboard or socket instead of a another CPU, then what would be

The one that Daring suggested will work if you want to stick with your own case. If you're upgrading that, you have a ton more options:

I personally have an ASRock at the moment, though ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI are good, reputable manufacturers as well.

So, I think I know what I should go for:

1. Get the chassis (If the thing doesn't stop drowning a pickle in chlorine.)

2.Get the board

3. THEN we could talk CPUs

But for now, I need to rocket jump over building and face Cyberdemons.

Any FM2/FM2+ board will accept an AMD a6 series... SATA is standard for data and power transmission.
