Does it install on an AM2+ socket? It says to contact swiftech for the AMD install kit?

There are no am2+ or other AMD mounting hardware in the box, so you should order it separately.

It does not come with one but if you contact them they will send you one for free.

From Corsairs site: Compatibility Intel LGA 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, and 2011 AMD sockets FM1, FM2, AM2, and AM3

yep it's AMD Socket AMD3+ but to make sure 100% go to asrock website under AMD Socket Motherboard AMD3+ and check the CPU compability list http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU

Yes, there are multiple socket mounting brackets/fasteners included to allow for installation on just about any CPU by AMD or INTEL from the last couple generations including FM-2.

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

Here is the specifications:CPU Socket AMD Socket AM3 / AM2 / 940 / 939 CPU Support AMD:Phenom II X4/X3 (partial)Phenom X4/X3 (partial)Athlon II X2Athlon X2 (partial)AthlonSempron About adding a second fan... it is up to you, since Athlon X2 does not heat up as much as the new AM3 models, it would be more cosmetic like adding a LED fan, just to make it more appealing

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

No. The new AMD A10-7xxx apu is on the new FM2+ architecture. It's incompatible with the FM2 socket.

Yes. Although in the AM3 family, AM3 CPUs will work on AM2/AM2+ boards provided the bois is up to date. If you decide to install it and your bios is NOT up to date, you can download it from the official asus website, however this must done at your own risk. Alternatively, if you already have the CPU in your possession, I would recommend you consider purchasing a slightly newer board with an AM3+ socket.http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/

No, this only fits on the following sockets: - Intel LGA 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011, AMD AM2 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM3+ sockets

No, it doesn't. While yes, it is AMD, it's a AM3+ socket, not FM2. I'd look at the FX series, personally.

I don't have this plugged into an AMD board. You should just need to have compatible OS and Drivers installed for it to work. With an AMD processor you wont be able to take advantage of the Intel WIDI feature but it should work.

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!

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. :)

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.

I've go the A99-Deluxe motherboard, and everything needed to install it was in the ThunderboltEX II Components package. It's been a while since I installed it, so my memory is hazy, but I do remember initially facing the same question, and the documentation was confusing. I think it may not have been a different cable, but an adapter that plugged on the one that was included, but whatever it was was definitely in the package.

If the CPU uses the FM2+ socket-type, it won't fit in an FM2 socket because it has additional pins. FM2 CPUs will fit in both sockets.More here - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Kaveri-AMD-FM2-FM2b-Socket,22949.html
