I have a Phenom II X6 and plan to upgrade the rest of the components, excluding the video card This mobo is compatible with my cpu? Thanks

Yes, this motherboard will handle AM3 and AM3+ sockets, so it will take your Phenom II.

i think it is compatible with it but check the page of it http://www.asrock.com/mb/nvidia/n68-vs3%20fx/

If it is an FX series processor, then yes, the motherboard will support FX processors "760GM-P23 (FX)" Also the picture of the box shows what processors it supports, FX, Phenom, Athlon.

Here is a list of all CPU's compatible with this board. Athlon II x4 750 is listed there too so it should work no problem. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A75%20Pro4-M/index.us.asp?cat=CPU

Hey there my friend, thank you for counting on me. And yes the Xeon E3-1240 Sandy Bridge is fully compatible with this Motherboard.

Well, it depends. The Phenom II that I reviewed is a AM3 socket vs an AM3+ with the FX-4130 it's showing as the newer model. So they are two slightly different models and your motherboard may support a AM3 socket but not an AM3+. According to CPU Benchmark the Phenom II x4 965 gets an average CPU mark of 4310 vs the FX-4130 which gets one of 4147. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Phenom+II+X4+965&id=370 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+FX-4130+Quad-Core The two processors are utilizing two different architectures, and to be honest I purchased this because this was the best upgrade I could get for the motherboard I have. So I never really looked at the FX line. I can only speak to this processor. So far I've found that the Phenom II with appropriate cooling runs very nicely. Speed was secondary to how cool it runs, reliability and stability. You do have to have sufficient room in your case for airflow to move around. I've actually removed the side panel of my desktop to allow more airflow to flow through. Other than that it's been functioning flawlessly as a good upgrade to an off the shelf Best Buy PC.

No, this board is only compatible with AMD processors, and then only AMD A series APU (such as the A6-5400k) processors.

Yes that's compatible. For future reference, when you buy a CPU, check the socket type. Your CPU is an LGA 1150. So you have to buy LGA 1150 board. This is one of them

This board only works with FM2 socket AMD processors. It does not work with the phenom processors. For that you need a board that has a AM3 or AM3+ processor socket.

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

No it is not compatible, I´m refering to use your LGA 155 i7-3770 with the new mobo you´re going to buy.

Doubtful you will be able to use the Phenom chip with this motherboard. Different socket and different chipset. There are motherboards available that will support your chip, but though this is a good motherboard you will need to look for a cheap compatible chip if you want to use it.

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

It should work but the more important question is: what is your motherboard? Compatibility with your mobo is more crucial than your CPU. Also, it is always a good idea to update you bios when you upgrade any of these 3:CPUGPUMemory ram

Yes. This motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot, and can support that card just fine.
