AMD APUS PLS score details
The A4 5300 and A4 5300B differ mainly in size—5300 is standard while 5300B is a larger format. Whether B fits on an HP Pro 6305 SFF depends on the exact slot type and compatibility, but it’s not guaranteed without confirming the model details. If you’re unsure, check the specifications or consider upgrading if needed.
The main distinction I notice is that the B variant doesn’t inherently support 1866mhz memory frequency compared to the non-B version. For your next point, there’s no clear answer—you’ll need to identify your motherboard and consult its manual online to see which processors are compatible. Until then, it’s uncertain since these motherboards often have proprietary features.
They match perfectly in all aspects. Perhaps the non-B version included an extra cooler by default.
They're essentially identical, with only minor differences in graphics quality. The integrated graphics uses a Radeon HD 7480D. http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/197/AMD...5300B.html I think it should function, though. Realizing companies like HP often use OEM components that match their branding in BIOS settings. You might attempt it, but success depends largely on HP's support and authenticity.
The "B" refers to the Trinity "Business Class" processor, commonly found with Dell and HP office desktop models. It seems the system supports an A10 5800B chip, which would be preferable over the 5300B. https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-.../c03522674 Since most OEM boards have limited options, it's likely a surprise if a non-B CPU isn't compatible. You'll need to test it yourself. The probability is around 50%.
The main concern is whether the MB supports the A8 5500 Quad Core chipset. The HP site manual mentions the 5500B works, but doesn't specify the non-B variant. I believe the chipset can handle it if it's compatible.
I don't see any FM2 5xxx B CPUs available locally. Only non-B options are offered, and shipping takes about 30 days with a 30% tax applied.
