Based on what, exactly? The first website is the actual manufacturer of the motherboard. I'd rely on a firsthand list of compatible CPUs from the manufacturer before a secondhand retelling of the firsthand list of compatible CPUs.
Because ASRock are stupid guys, i have one asrock motherboard and i use cpu which is not on the offical asrock cpu support list, but it is on this cpuupgrade site.
And? CPUs that aren't officially supported sometimes work, they sometimes don't - that you had an unsupported CPU work isn't all that probative.
But don't take my work for it, take CPU-Upgrade's own words.

To determine part numbers for the ASRock N68C-GS FX motherboard we used best guess approach based on CPU model, frequency and features. In some cases our guess may be incorrect or incomplete. Please always verify part numbers before committing to buying the CPU.[/blockquote]
Yeah, another CPU may work, but it's just an educated guess, not a guarantee.
But regardless, it seems that you weren't actually here to ask a question, given that you've already decided on the answer, so I'll unfollow this thread now.
