Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition vs AMD Phenom II X4 840

onacit · Dec 14, 2014

My main board is
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. GA-MA790FX-DS5

My current CPU is
AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition

My colleague gave me a cpu
AMD Phenom II X4 840 - HDX840WFK42GM

Is it compatible with my board? If it is, which one is better? old one? or new one?

Both are very similar. The II X4 840 is newer. The 840 is faster. The 840 also consumes less power.
Your motherboard does support it: http://www.gigabyte.com.au/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2694
Just make sure your BIOS version is up to date.
Good luck
