I am in the market for a new CPU, but i am worried my system might not be compatible.
My current CPU is an AMD Athlon II X4 630 with an AM3 socket type.
My current Motherboard is a Pegatron Corporation, with a model of Violet6 and a Nvidia nForce 720a chipset.
The two CPUs i am looking at for purchase are the AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8320FRHKBOX, and the AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX. Also, will i need a new cooling unit?
My current power supply has a DC output of 300W.
It would be very helpful to know the compatibility. If more information is nessesary, then please ask. Also which is considered the better deal. Thank you in advance.
