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.

No Sadly. This is an AM3+ socket, as the CPU you want has a FM2 socket. FM2 has a big hole in the middle, so watch, as Am3+ does not. Hope this can help! :D

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

Felix,You will need an AM3+ motherboard to use with an AM3+ processor. Unfortunately, your motherboard will not 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.

Depends. Does your motherboard support AM3+ Chipset? Are you happy with your processor's performance? If your motherboard supports this chipset, I'd say go for it if you feel like your processor is a bit slow! It's definitely worth the money!

No, it only supports Opteron socket C32. AM3+ chips are completely different. Hope this helps. Jose Seisdedos Titanus Computers www.titanuscomputers.com

I'm not sure figure out what motherboard you have and if you have an intel or AMD compatible socket if it's an intel you wont be able to fit an AMD and you will have to get another motherboard. I believe a AMD processor usually uses a "AM3" or "AM3+" socket.

If your motherboard previously had or currently has an Intel processor in it, this AMD processor will not work. You will have to replace your motherboard with an AMD-compatible motherboard in order for it to function. Even then though, the top-of-the-line CPU from AMD costs about the same as this one, which is several years old. So if you're going with AMD (which I would recommend, especially if you're on a budget) get a motherboard that supports AM3+ processors and get the AMD FX 8350 processor to put inside it. It would be much faster, and excluding the cost of the motherboard, it would be about the same price.

Well, the best processor you can get for that board would be a Phenom II X6 1100T, and the board is more then capable of supporting it... CPU wise that would be the best, they are rare and not cheap as most are looking for about $250+ for a used or "like new" cpu... I bought a "like new" 1100T about 6 months ago and it works great and it beats some of the low end FX cpu's on the market today. Thing to keep in mind is that AM3 CPU's only support up to 1333MHz ram so if you're looking at beefing up more then just a CPU then you might want to get an AM3+ board with an FX processor so you can use ram up to 1866MHz...

The FX 6300 is a 6 core, 3.5 GHz processor designed for the AM3+ Socket. I will not work with an AM3 socket.

As long as the motherboard is backwards compatible then yes it will work. Not ever AM3 motherboard will work with an AM3+ CPU. The motherboard has to be backwards compatible.

Though I have Never Personally used an MSI, im somewhat confident that as long as it is AM3+, it should work. though i would take the time to read the specs and reviews.

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.
793421
Yes, the answer is in the name (AM3+). AM3+ is the socket type of the current AMD FX models including the FX 4350.

A great site to help you find compatibility is pcpartpicker.com. It also helps find the best prices with can be amazon or others. According to pcpartpicker, which I haven't found to be wrong yet, that processor is supported. However, I do not have any experience with it my self.
