will this run on compaq presario cq5205y? it says on the website that: "NOTE: Only socket AM2+ processors are supported with this motherboard."

My motherboard is am3+, so I don't know about the compaq's motherboard. All I can tell you is what another poster, "Midnight Growler", said in another forum:"AM2+ motherboards only take DDR2 ram but both cpus. AM3 motherboards only takes DDR3 ram and only AM3 cpus.AM3 processors work on AM2+ motherboards because they have both ddr2 and ddr3 controllers (for now).

I am not certain if that is the right chip for you. You will need to research your motherboard. Try going to the HP web site, since they own Compaq now. I installed it on a ECS A885GM-A2, with 8g of ram and a SSD. The operating system is Linux Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I am curently very happy with the performance.

This processor will not work. If you look at the processor's specifications, it says it's a socket AM3.

as far as i know it should because am2+ is am3 i know i ran it on an am2=mobo was an asus

Jeff, the question you need to confirm is what Socket is compatible with the motherboard on that computer. It has to be an AM3 socket. Then yes, you will be able to use this CPU and you will notice a major improvement in performance. I do a lot of video rendering and it cut my time in half from the Anthlon II 260 I had installed in my pc. Great CPU. I'm very pleased with it... Find it for under $100 and it's a score... Hope this helps.

According to their website, it supports "Intel socket 1150" processors.Here is the link: http://www.nofancomputer.com/eng/products/CR-95C.php

Off the top of my head, I do not know. I do know that just because a motherboard has an LGA 1150 socket, doesn't mean that the processor will work -- I got bit by that a couple of times (an expensive mistake). The thing to do is visit Intel's processor compatibility web page, and cross-check with what ASUS's web page says about the Maximus VI Gene. I'll see if I can find the Intel web page (it's very good for that purpose, but not trivial to find) and respond again.

This is AMD only since that is the socket it carries - Intel sockets are too much different so they need their own type of MotherBoard. AMD and Intel are to totally different processor developers, been around for many years now. So, if you see things like AM3, AM3, AM2 mentioned in what you are looking at, it's not for Intel processors.

No, it will not. Looking at the specs on the site it is not supported.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc;=en&dlc;=en&docname;=c00906137#N116Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades: Athlon 64 X2 with Dual Core technology up to 5600+ (up to 89 watt) Athlon 64 less than 4000+ Sempron less than 4000+I would recommend picking up an AM3 micro-atx motherboard and upgrading to this CPU and unlocking the second core if you are willing to do some research.

yes Robin G it is not on the CPU Support List but it (see below) should work,i have had a similar experience with this processor.http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=CPU&Model;=880GM-LE%20FX

I checked the Intel site and it that board does not appear to support that processor check http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/cs-012668.htm

No - the motherboard in question only supports AM3, and is designated for relatively low wattage (90W?). This is an AM3+ processor (The plus makes a difference.) and a rather high preformance chip with a TPD around 125W.

your first problem is that your running 5 gigahertz of ram.chances are you running ddr2 and you need an even number of RAM. Just because you have the same socket for the processor doesn't mean your motherboard will support it.there's something called Google it's there for your help

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

I had a compaq that had the same problem and this cpu worked. But if you aren't sure search compatible chips that work with your pc

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.

Compatible with motherboards with an AM2+ or AM3 socket, He used a AMD Athlon II x4, which is a AM3 socket, but because of the power supply they maintained the 95w and not the 125w in the AMD CPU HDZ955FBGMBOX Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz AM3 125W. The next question, will be the size of your power supply? Keep it within the 95w mark or upgrade the PS to allow the 125w either way from the information I located the socket is an AM3 so it would work. Make sure your BIO's is upgraded before install, as I found many issues that would not understand the new cpu.

It worked with a HP Compaq dc5750 which has an AM2 socket (upgrade from a Semperon 3400+).

It is a LGA775 Socket-According to the ASUS site. it supports- Celeron- Celeron D- Celeron DC- core 2 duo- core 2 extreme- core 2 quad- pent 4- pent D- pent dual core- pent extreme- xeon. If unsure do the research. Google it. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. The e-mail initiating this conversation when to my non-main e-mail. Nope. This is an FM2 socket, which is incompatible with AM3+ chips (read: anything Phenom). You'd need to specifically buy an AMD APU (Specifically the AMD A#-5#### or A#-6#### series processor).Hope that makes sense.
