Would this run a Phenom 9500 Quad Core Processor 2.2GHz? from a socket AM2. I have old parts and trying to replace dead board?.

Not off this board. That processor is an AM2 and this board is for an AM3+ designed processor. You would need to get an AM3+ processor. Plus with the AM3+ you can go 8 core

No, that AM2 processor will not install. There are some MSI microATX boards that will and are cheap. I mean good, but out of date and therefore inexpensive.

Quick answer is no. That motherboard is an AM2 CPU socket while this CPU is FM2. If you already own that motherboard search for AM2 socket CPU's and find something that fits your needs. I selected my parts using www(dot)pcpartpicker(dot)com. Compatibility is easier to figure out that way.

No, if it's the desktop that I'm thinking of, this chip is too old for it. Your motherboard only supports AM2 or higher. Look for these: AMD Phenom II Quad-Core AMD Phenom II Triple-Core AMD Phenom Quad-Core (A) 9xxx series (AM2+) AMD Phenom Triple-Core (T) 8xxx series (AM2+) AMD Athlon X4 AMD Athlon X3 AMD Athlon X2 (B) (AM2+) Sources: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c02131097-23%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.tpst=ba847bafb2a2d782fcbb0710b053ce01&sp4ts.oid=4162245&ac.admitted=1393207921410.876444892.199480143

I'm sorry, I thought this referred toa processor I just bought. To answer your question, you need to buy a socket LGA1155.

yes Robin G it is not on the CPU Support List but it (see below) should work,i have had a similar experience with this processor.http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=CPU&Model;=880GM-LE%20FX

no that one i got is for am3 and ddr3 memmy .. i used arock mother board.... am 2 is older gen.cpu from 4 or 5 years ago//// look for a used pull that takes that cpu

No you have to buy an AMD CPU that fits the socket on your motherboard. Look for a CPU with AM3+ or AM3 in the specifications. I believe the most powerful CPU that this board supports is 95 Watts so some of the really high end processors which use over 200 watts of power won't work. Either of the suggested CPUs suggested would work great in my opinion. The Phenom II's are getting hard to find but the FX models are plentiful. Please don't confuse the sockets, all these abbreviations can get confusing. An FM or FM2 socket based CPU won't work, for instance. Hope this helps more than hurts.

this cpu is not compatible in an am3 socket. if you want a 6 core get a phenom ii 6 core 1100t or a 1055t if you want to save money. ive owned both and they were great i run an fx 8350 now but the phenom ii where great too! just make sure you use an ssd for boot drive. you'll have an insane beast ;D

It is an AM3 socket. It is designed to work with AM2+ or AM3, but you will likely need to update your bios first if you use it in an AM2+ socket. Under most circumstances, you can us an AM3 cpu on an AM3+ mother board. To be certain, you should check the supported processors list on your manufacturer's official page.

No the motherboard is am3 and the cpu socket is fm2 so if you already have that motherboard just look for a am3 processor(cpu)

Jeff, the question you need to confirm is what Socket is compatible with the motherboard on that computer. It has to be an AM3 socket. Then yes, you will be able to use this CPU and you will notice a major improvement in performance. I do a lot of video rendering and it cut my time in half from the Anthlon II 260 I had installed in my pc. Great CPU. I'm very pleased with it... Find it for under $100 and it's a score... Hope this helps.

Not at all. The socket for this is am3 while yours is am2. It won't even fit much less work. Plus trying to upgrade an emachine is kind of a lost cause. Maybe the ram could be updated but that's about it.

No. This is socket FM2 for new AMD hybrid processors APU. For 6 core Phenom you need AM3 or AM3+ socket motherboard.

According to the board's specs, it should support Phenom, Phenom II, Athlon, Athlon 64, and even Sempron processors, so my Phenom II X4 840 should work in it. I recall reading elsewhere that the type of chip affects the memory (DDR2 vs. DDR3) that can be used, so you'd have to check on that for sure.
1615679
yes... if the processor is lga775 you can use a core 2 duo or dual core processors with this board... i did it

Yes, using the AM3 Socket, it will work. It may require a BIOS update, but it will work.

It appears to be an AMD, AM3+ socket motherboard and should handle this super fast processor just fine. I'm running mine on a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard and love it. Not only is it faster but it's speed comes with cooler running temps and lower power usage than older processors.
