Hello,
I currently have a "ASRock 960GM-GS3 FX" Motherboard and wondering if a AMD FX-8120 8-Core Black Edition Processor Socket AM3+ - FD8120FRGUBOX would be compatible with the Motherboard. I am looking to upgrade my processor, please help me. I am new to computers. Here is the website to ASRock and I know I am a noob but your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Also, here is the link to the CPU I am thinking of buying (if it's compatible) http://

Computer Specs
CPU: AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 32nm Technology
RAM: 8.00GB Dual Channel DDR3
Motherboard: ASRock 960GM-GS3 FX (cpu socket)
Graphics: ATI AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series

I think they are both the same. One is in the BOX and the other is an OEM.

That why you can't find the other one for sale. :p I could be wrong might want to double check.
