X2 6000 phenom ii upgrade

[Apples_21]

can i upgrade my amd x2 6000 to a phenom ii 940/955 without having to replace my motherboard. i cant tell you what mobo i have because i dont have access to my computer right now. if a x2 6000 works then a phenom ii should work as well shouldn't it?

Sorry you have to know the manufacturer and model number of the motherboard if the Phenom II 940 or 955 is supported or not.Without that information no one can help you.If you find out that those new CPU's are supported you most likely will have to update your BIOS.

ok this is the motherboard DFI LANPARTY-DK 790GX-M2RS 790FX+SB752090,AM2+ M/B

in that case YES YOU CAN , the 790 chipset supports am3 so you could even have a phenom 2

DISCLAIMER: While your mobo should support PhenomII, it may well require a BIOS update before it will actually function.

i think your mobo support phenomII just update the bios

+1 to what B-Unit said, your motherboard will most likely support it.

I'm running a 940 x4 on a 3 year old AM2 board with the 590 chipset. Actually upgraded from a 6000 x2 also. Your mileage may vary of course but I would say yes.



4.2 is pretty rare for the PH2's, very nice solier.
