Was curious before I bought this processor if the AMD Phenom II X4 960T CPU 3.0GHz Socket AM2+/AM3 938pin HD96ZTWFK4DGR Quad-CORE /Four-Thread /95W, would fit on my M2N68-LA motherboard. I know mine only support a 95W cpu but I would like to make sure before dropped almost $100 on it. Thank you!

Most 960T's were 125 watt cpu's. A good cpu in a crappy oem board with only 3+1 phase power when that cpu needs a good 8+2 phase power board. No heatsinks on the vrm's either. A disaster waiting to happen. tsk, tsk......... With a decent board, at least a 790 chipset you could maybe unlock it to six cores if you are lucky and overclock it.

Alright, I was looking at that one too, but wasn't exactly sure. Are used processors a 50/50 chance when buying them online?

Normally they will work fine if packaged and shipped properly! Most sellers will cover DOA warranty at minimum.
