in speccy my AMD athlon ii x2 220 says it uses Package Socket AM3 (938) it has 2 cores would this be a good upgrade and will it work on my MB? also does it come with a fan?

If your MB Supports a AM3 socket then yes, this is a great upgrade for you. I do a lot of video rendering and it cut the time it took to render video in 1/2. As for a fan, my CPU did not come with a fan, and I highly recommend you look at a 3rd Party Fan. It makes the world of difference. The 965 runs a little hotter and I found that installing an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 decreased my CPU temperatures by over 20 C. The 24.99 I paid for that fan was a great investment. You should be able to find the 965 for under $100 with no fan. Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out if you require any additional inputs.

No, it will not work on an (AMD) Socket AM3 motherboard. It requires an (Intel) Socket LGA 1150 motherboard. You will need an AMD CPU for the Asus M5A99FX.

According to the specs for this processor, then yes. The CPU cooling heat sink and fan fits Socket AM3/AM2+ and, according to the specs on New Egg for the Phenom Quad Core 2.20 it fits a socket AM2+.

Yes it will. It works with am2/am2+/am3/am3+ I'm using a athlon II x2 260 CPU at 3.2ghz and works just fine.

no that one i got is for am3 and ddr3 memmy .. i used arock mother board.... am 2 is older gen.cpu from 4 or 5 years ago//// look for a used pull that takes that cpu

Yes, this CPU cooler will fit your motherboard, it comes with sockets for both Intel and AMD, you just attach the appropriate mounting mechanism. This CPU cooler is fairly large, make sure that your chassis can handle the size of this CPU before you purchase. According to the official website: http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/v6gt.html Intel Socket: LGA 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775 AMD Socket: FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2 For your question, will it fit your socket set... Yes it will; 939, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1 and FM2 all have the same socket mounts... There is no difference in the mounting mechanisms...

It will work nicely with that board, it'll be clocked down to 2.0. From what I understand, only intel currently supports 3.0; AMD does not yet have any chipsets that support PCI 3, but you wont notice any difference in performance by using it in the PCI 2 slot. I have an AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera on a system paired with this card and couldn't be happier.

This is an AM3 + Socket and is a 6-core CPU. AM3 and AM3+ are different sockets so check your motherboards compatibility list before you buy this.

Well! M5A87 is pretty good board & its supports all AM3+ family processors, Also if you would like to consider new yet affordable '8-core processors' like AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition 125W version (not 200W version as your motherboard has limitation upto 140W only). One more suggestion I personally prefer high frequency DDR RAM modules such as 1600 or 1866 all varies just for just 10-20 bucks compared to standard ones like 1333/1066, this will noticeably improve the application response esp for like cads/games etc who requires low latency access.

No this is not compatible with your motherboard as it is 125 watt CPU .. Your current CPU is 45 watts Athlon X2 4050e and your motherboard would be limited to 95 watt max CPU .. Acer doesn't list upgrades or much info for there systems .. I would guess the Athlon X2 6000+ 89 watt version is best upgrade you could run @3.0 MHz .. Look for ADV6000IAA5DO , ADA6000IAA6CZ model #'s as they are both the 89 watt versions or be prepared to swap out your motherboard/CPU/Ram to upgrade ..

this cpu is not compatible in an am3 socket. if you want a 6 core get a phenom ii 6 core 1100t or a 1055t if you want to save money. ive owned both and they were great i run an fx 8350 now but the phenom ii where great too! just make sure you use an ssd for boot drive. you'll have an insane beast ;D

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. This is socket FM2 for new AMD hybrid processors APU. For 6 core Phenom you need AM3 or AM3+ socket motherboard.

The Phenom II 125 watt models will not work on your motherboard as ASUS has limited the BIOS on your version to this .. You have the same motherboard as a ASUS M4A78LT-M but the BIOS restricts the CPU to 95 watt versions .. I know the phenom II 945 X4 works and maybe Phenom II X6 1045T would work .. I would have to check further to know if the 6 cores would 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.

It works great in my Antech 300 case. Make sure you measure from the back of the case into the case to make sure you have room. Its a thick fan/radiator/fan setup. Mine is freakin awesome on 8 core AMD and playing MW3 or Blackops2...with no noise. The AMD fan sounded like a jet taking off when It would spin up from the CPU getting hot.

It appears to be an AMD, AM3+ socket motherboard and should handle this super fast processor just fine. I'm running mine on a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard and love it. Not only is it faster but it's speed comes with cooler running temps and lower power usage than older processors.
