..... it says in cpuz that my processor is socket (AM3) 938. my question is can i put a AMD Phenom™ II 850 socket AM3 95w on my mobo??? i also upgraded to a cooler master atx 12 volt 500w power supply and my bios is pheonix technologys 5.55 12/08/2009.
 
everything i found on the narra 5 is that it only takes up to a am2+ phenom, but socket 938 i beleive is am3. See if theres a bios update if its an am2+ board if it can take am3 cpus. If its socket am3 it should support the 850 95w cpu. Download cpu-z and it'll show the socket
