It has to be AM3+ That's more then likely socket AM3
It does not need to be an AM3+ to run a 965BE. I've got one running on an AM2+ upstairs as I type. Unless you misread and are referring to the new FX 8350, which even then will work on some AM3 boards.
I call bs.. sure the 8150 would run in an am3 motherboard but not the 8350 get a clue .. AM3 + .. also that was only select motherboards.. sense were talking about HP motherboard typically bare essentials .. then No it wont run in an AM3 socket .. lol waist your money and try it .. as for the 965BE .. of course it will run in an AM3 socket .. it will even run in an AM2 + .. you should read the whole post before you comment on something you don't know about.
