You can try using one of these to fit a S939 CPU in a socket AM2 motherboard, but don't blame me if it doesn't work.

i have actually (using a 3500 socket939) installed the cpu
(i thought) and the hsf and not had a post.

the cpu wasnt in the socket and lucky for me it didnt bend any pins.



but i agree the 939 and am2, well that might bend something :lol:
but like you said just use a BFH= big fuc%*ng hammer.

the s939 3500 wont work in an am2 mobo.

they are different and also the memory slots are different.
ddr and ddr2. 184 pin and 240 pin.

though some mobo,s support both.
