The list of supported cpus goes up to 860k so I would say the 880k is not supported due to power requirements

this model supports the 880k

All the supported cpus are listed on the page you linked:

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/A68HM-E33#support-cpu

The overall best you can get, is the 860K.

EDIT: ALthough the VRM in that board is bad, 95W cpu isn't a wise choice to put in it unless you have airflow in the case like it would be an air tunnel.

65W cpu is the most you should put in it.
