and

The thing is Id like to buy my cpu from amazon, better return policy instead of cpu replacement only policy, and i was wondering if it matters about the sku? or are these the same?

I am purchasing a ASRock 870 Extreme3 AM3 motherboard, so is there a difference or will they both fit?

 

[shovenose]

exactly the same

 

[George20]

ah ok thanks bud.

SKU = stock keeping unit. Which will vary from store to store.
You want to compare AMD Part numbers like: HDZ955FBGMBOX

 

[George20]

ok they have different part numbers tho? what does that mean?

 

[WR2]

You're right;
HDZ955WFGBMBOX
HDZ955FBGMBOX
In this case it looks like one is a typo.

@ TigerDirect it shows HDZ955FBGMBOX in two places and HDZ955FBGIBOX in another place.

 

[George20]

oh ok but they should be the same thing right? id like to order from amazon. the one i listed?

 

[shovenose]

yes its the same EXACT thing just order it already
