That board is AM3 and the heatsink is for AM2/940/939/754. I don't know if the AM2 stock bracket fits on an AM3 socket though.

Yar it will fit!
![]() Thats the best thing about AMD all the heatsinks (AM2, AM2+ and AM3) all have the same mounting system! Unlike Intel which try and grab more money out of your pockets by making 775 1366 1566 w.e haha

Owned. Yeah, instead Intel just grabs the huge profits from the different socket motherboard sales.
