The description doesn't specifically say whether this particular kit comes with mounting hardware for AMD AM3+ processors. Can you tell me if it does?

Yes, it comes with a universal mounting bracket that works on am3+. I installed one of these on an AMD am3+ fx 8 core, man does it work great! Keeps the processor 20 degrees cooler than OEM.

Yes they are compatible. They are both AM3+ sockets. If you are doing a new build and not just updating your processor, I would recommend going with an FM2 processor and board. The AMD APU processors are really fast, and don't get as hot. If you decided to stay with this processor, make sure you have an exhaust fan, it does get hot in the case with the stock fan. This processor runs fast and hot under loads. If you plan on over clocking, get a bigger heatsink and fan!Hope this helps!

Yes, AM3 processors are forwards-compatible with the new socket AM3+. the Video card will work as well

I would imagine so, it says it's AM3+....if you bother to read the description

Yes it will it comes with AMD and intel bock parts.I have it on my am3+ and it fit my old i3 so it will work

It is an AM3 socket. It is designed to work with AM2+ or AM3, but you will likely need to update your bios first if you use it in an AM2+ socket. Under most circumstances, you can us an AM3 cpu on an AM3+ mother board. To be certain, you should check the supported processors list on your manufacturer's official page. List your mother board here, and one of us can likely check it for you. souces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Phenom_microprocessors#Phenom_II_series http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20960T%20Black%20Edition%20-%20HD96ZTWFK4DGR.html The seal on the box, which I unfortunately damaged to much to scan correctly also stated AM3.

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

Hi, I searched around a little bit and found a pretty thorough answer on a forum called "Legit Reviews". In short, no, it will not fit. The AM3+ CPU's have 942 pins, and the AM3 socket only has 941 holes. The extra pin on the AM3+ is to allow it to utilize DDR3 SDRAM. The full explanation, by "Legit Reviews" member "Apoptosis" is below: "Socket AM3 was launched on February 9, 2009 as the successor to Socket AM2+. As you know Socket AM3 added support for DDR3 SDRAM and those processors will not work in older sockets. The newer Socket AM3+ or AM3b design that came out in October 2011 is a modification of the AM3 Socket to run Bulldozer processors. It still retains compatibility with AM3 processors. The AM3+ Socket specification contain has 942-pins, which is an increase of one over the AM3 Socket's 941-pin. They unblocked one of the blocked off pins on the AM3 socket design, so that is how it works. You can put an AM3 processor in an AM3+ socket, but not the other way around." http://forums.legit reviews.com/about41329.html Just remove the space in the middle of the URL to see the source.

Yes you would need a different mounting kit, the parts it comes with are for.Socket Type 775AM2AM2+AM31156136611552011If you can get a mounting kit, it is a great heatsink, very big though so make sure your case is wide enough.

Hi Kris,This board only supports processors using the Socket C32 interface, which is not compatible with AM3 in any way. You will need to buy Socket C32 opteron processors (NOT G34!) for this board.

This DOES in fact support AM3+ processors (such as the FX-8350) if you choose to install the 3029 Beta BIOS from Asus's own website. Myself and many others have done this successfully without issues or instability. Also had no problem overclocking the FX-8350 to 4.7GHz with the stock cooler on this board.

Felix,You will need an AM3+ motherboard to use with an AM3+ processor. Unfortunately, your motherboard will not work.
1550741
No, this only works for AMD processors that fit a AM3+ socket (ex. FX-8350).

No, you need to buy one separately. This motherboard supports CPUs with an AM3+ socket which includes the FX, Phenom II, Athlon II, and Sempron 100 series. These are all AMD CPUs.

No the AM3+ Socket is for the New AMD 81XX and 83XX series 8-Core CPUs, FX-9000 Series CPU/VPU must use an FX Motherboard.

I have an AM3+ board, but for the compatibility please look for your board here: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products;_id=37&lng;=es, or write an email to support@noctua.at.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure there are very many processors that don't come with that anymore.
