• V8 on AM3
    5 replies, posted
Possible? It says its compatible with AM2, AM2+ and 940 sockets. It also says it works with the Phenom 2 processors. It doesn't mention AM3 as compatible though, so I am wondering if there is any sort of bracket, or adapter to make it work?
if it works in a AM2+ it should work in a AM3

940 is am3
OP, itl work. AM2+ and AM3 share the same socket size + mounting points. [QUOTE=Unreliable;18765736]940 is am3[/QUOTE] No, 940 is much older, used on server boards.
Thanks for clarifying FP!
