Is this AM3 or AM3+? Or AM3 or AM3+ socket compatible?

No it is not, this is an FM1 chip. I am not aware of any AMD APU that works in AM3 or AM3+. Here is some info on this chip and socket type: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-A6-Series%20A6-3500.html http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20FM1.html

Hello Arthur, this product is only for Socket FM1 and is not compatible with any other socket.

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 fit in my AM3+ processor, which is the socket type you need for that motherboard.

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

Compatible with INTEL LGA 1150 / 2011 / 1156 / 1155 / 1366 / 755 families. AMD Sockets AM2+ / AM2 / AM3 (Looked it up on Newegg) 8310 is an AM3+ (Wikipedia). I would say no.

I actually did not order this cooler, I ordered the GeminII S524. However, in the case of that, its retail packaging doesn't indicate that it works with my socket, the AM3+, but the Cooler Master website indicates that it does work with AM3+, and indeed it does.

Hi, you can order a mounting kit on ebay that will allow you to use this on the AM3+ socket but it dose not come with it in the box. It was around $10.00 when I ordered some a few weeks ago.

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.

It is a AMD Socket AM3, HyperTransport with 2 GHz. Your upgrade option will be limited to Socket AM3 compatible processors Such as: Phenom II, Athlon II, Sempron, Opteron 138x

The only problem you may run into is the processor socket. Depending on your processor, if it's not compatible with am3+ you may need to upgrade. Other than that you should be ok.

My 2 cents... All AM3 and AM3+ designated CPU's are pin compatible, however, the '+' in the AM3+ designation means that the FX series of processors can take advantage of the enhanced power management and support features available on AM3+ motherboards (and some that only needed a BIOS upgrade to make them FX/AM3+ compatible). The '+' features lend stability and added power for serious over-clocking. In other words, the FX series can plug into any AM3 motherboard, but unless it is designated as an AM3+ motherboard (or FX/AM3+ compatible), you can't expect to take advantage of its Bulldozer enhancements. IMO, it's doubtful whether an FX processor can perform to its potential on a motherboard that is simply 'BIOS upgraded' to AM3+ compatibility.

that cpu is actually socket AM2+, it is still compatible with this motherboard, no issues

It should work, I have installed it on Asus M4A78-E, a Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboards, you can order from Amazon for just $3.50 to try. most of these Asus motherboards with same socket, yours is and AM3+ use same support bracket line up and CPU fan. I found that if they break the heatsink lock is to tight so you may need to reduce the tension or it will soon break the new bracket. I have new original 2 piece bracket and base assy if you can't get this to work if you need them.

No the motherboard is am3 and the cpu socket is fm2 so if you already have that motherboard just look for a am3 processor(cpu)

The motherboard user guide says that the AM3 socket is designed for AMD Phenom II / Athlon II / and Sempron 100 series processors. You may want to check the ASUS website for any updates to the vendor list or additional specifications.

No, this is an S1 socket processor. You will need a socket AM2+ processor, such as: AMD Phenom II Quad-CoreAMD Phenom II Triple-CoreAMD Phenom Quad-Core (A) 9xxx series (AM2+)AMD Phenom Triple-Core (T) 8xxx series (AM2+)AMD Athlon X4AMD Athlon X3AMD Athlon X2 (B) (AM2+)Hope this helps. :)

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.
