CPU AM3 - Motherboard Compatible?

[konzine]

Hello all T-Hardwarians!


I have a quick, and somewhat odd question I am wanting to have cleared up. Recently, I purchased an AMD Phenom II X4 964 3.4 ghz Processor. Well payday is here and Im gonna grab me a Mobo.

The way NewEgg has their listing confuses me. The chip is an AM3, bu the search on NewEgg asks if I want an AM3 for Phenom II x4.. Athlon, etc etc. All under the AM3 Tag.

So My question, is will my Processor fit ANY AM3 Motherboard? Thanks!

Yes, all *should* support a 125W 965, most will be ok with a 140w as well. Just Google the motherboard and look up the CPU support list before you buy it, and see what date the bios was revised for it.

Nice CPU. If you post your budget for a mobo people can give you recommendations.
