How much CPU can this Mobo take?

[dave1701]

I have this mobo:

What is the biggest processor I can safely put in this Motherboard. It is AMD 2+. Does that Mean that I can use an AMD 3 processor in there. I says you should use a 95watt CPU.

The CPU support page doesn't list that the motherboard supports the am3 socket, so i would stay with they have listed.

Link has some info, but I tend to stay with Motherboard manufacture recommendations
unless you are a tinkerer.

It supports all AM3 processors up to 95W

The 955 is 125w, the mobo supports up to 95w, so I dont think it would work.

I believe with a BIOS update you can put a Phenom II X6 1035T 95w CPU in it, not 100% sure though.Which would be the best/fastest CPU for that mobo.

The only Phenom II 955 that it will support is the 95W OEM


Still have the 925 95W Retail.
