Will it fit am3+ board? Like ga-78lmt-s2. Thanks

yes it's exactly the same size specifications as the factory OEM brackets for any am3+ board.

Yeah it should fit. Judging by the pictures I've seen of that MB, it looks like the same bracket.

Yes it will it comes with AMD and intel bock parts.I have it on my am3+ and it fit my old i3 so it will work

It looks like it will fit. The clips on the fan/heatsink assembly will line up with the AM2 bracket on your mother board. The only potential problem may be the close location of the RAM slot next to your CPU. If you use that RAM slot just be careful so the RAM stick is not resting against the heatsink block as it could damage your RAM chips.

Yes, it's am3+ compatible, but this mobo won't perform as good as a true am3+ mobo. This is just an old am3 mobo with an updated bios so that it can run am3+What I recommend you is to buy a truly am3+, non 760g

It's said to be an AM3+ socket with chipset AMD 970 / SB950 (my Gigabyte GA-970A has the same config), so the answer is definitely yes.Nice processor by the way: powerful, inexpensive, you simply forget it. Be sure to suit it with a big radiator (coolmaster V8 for example).Take care!

I'm not entirely sure but I'm almost positive that this late in the game the board should come with a Bios that will recognize your AM3+ processor.You can also go to the Overclock.net forums, they have the " Gigabyte GA-990FXA-Series Owners Thread/Club " and post your concerns and in no time you should have a reliable answer.Good luck, I myself am thinking of buying this board also.

Yes. It supports AM3+ socket type. Just make sure to use the right bracket.http://store.antec.com/Product/cooling-cpu_cooler/kuhler-h2o-620/0-761345-77085-9.aspx

you can find their memory compatibility list for that board here http://download.gigabyte.ru/memory/mb_memory_ga-z97-hd3.pdfIt may still work if it's not in the list, but not guaranteed

Yes this has mounting options for amd FM and am sockets. So it will fit that mother board.

Hi, I searched around a little bit and found a pretty thorough answer on a forum called "Legit Reviews". In short, no, it will not fit. The AM3+ CPU's have 942 pins, and the AM3 socket only has 941 holes. The extra pin on the AM3+ is to allow it to utilize DDR3 SDRAM. The full explanation, by "Legit Reviews" member "Apoptosis" is below: "Socket AM3 was launched on February 9, 2009 as the successor to Socket AM2+. As you know Socket AM3 added support for DDR3 SDRAM and those processors will not work in older sockets. The newer Socket AM3+ or AM3b design that came out in October 2011 is a modification of the AM3 Socket to run Bulldozer processors. It still retains compatibility with AM3 processors. The AM3+ Socket specification contain has 942-pins, which is an increase of one over the AM3 Socket's 941-pin. They unblocked one of the blocked off pins on the AM3 socket design, so that is how it works. You can put an AM3 processor in an AM3+ socket, but not the other way around." http://forums.legit reviews.com/about41329.html Just remove the space in the middle of the URL to see the source.

Yes, it will fit AM3+, but as for the next gen coming here before too long, I'd call Cooler Master about that. They typically will just sell or give you new mounting brackets to accommodate new sockets as they become available.

Yes, using the AM3 Socket, it will work. It may require a BIOS update, but it will work.

It depends on your motherboards socket type. Find what processor your computer is using via my computer and system information and Google it's socket type. If it's am3+ then yes it will work. . Hope that helps!

Unfortunatly it does not. If you're looking for AM3+ support try this board which I also own and can vouch for. ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

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.

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/

So long as your board has an available PCI-Express x16 slot (A board that supports AM3+ would appear to be new enough to have at least 1) you should be good to go.
