Hello, I am purchasing a barebones kit that comes with the Asus M5A78L-M LX
mobo and I was intending to buy the AMD Phenom II x4 955 but when I looked at the ASUS website it doesn't seem to say that it is supported even though it is still an AM3+ socket.
Do any of you know if the mobo does support this CPU or do I need to look again? (I hope not took me a while to find a decent CPU in my price range)

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
if it's the correct chipset and socket, they're compatible. if it doesn't say it's compatible, look up the chipset compatibility to double check
