Yes, it will fit AM3+, but as for the next gen coming here before too long, I'd call Cooler Master about that. They typically will just sell or give you new mounting brackets to accommodate new sockets as they become available.

DDR2 memory requires an AM2 CPU.*DDR3 and DDR2 are supported separately.**DDR3 memory is only supported by installing AM3/AM3+ CPU.***Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 32-bit OS. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.****DDR2 memory is only supported by installing AM2/AM2+/AM3 CPU.*****Support with AM3 / AM2+ CPU.http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=Specifications

That CPU is a AM3+ socket. This Mobo has a AM3 socket. Some AM3 motherboards did receive patches to make them compatible for AM3+ CPU's, but this one was not one of them. That CPU will not work to my knowledge.

I was also wondering if an AM3 heat sink will also fit onto an AM3+? I can't find that information anywhere.

No it is not, this is an FM1 chip. I am not aware of any AMD APU that works in AM3 or AM3+. Here is some info on this chip and socket type: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-A6-Series%20A6-3500.html http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20FM1.html

Yes they are compatible. They are both AM3+ sockets. If you are doing a new build and not just updating your processor, I would recommend going with an FM2 processor and board. The AMD APU processors are really fast, and don't get as hot. If you decided to stay with this processor, make sure you have an exhaust fan, it does get hot in the case with the stock fan. This processor runs fast and hot under loads. If you plan on over clocking, get a bigger heatsink and fan!Hope this helps!

of course. This is a great motherboard and include support to latest AMD® Socket AM3. I buy another motherboard with this processor, but this one is much better.

Yes it is compatible with am3+. AMD Socket AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, and FM2+ can all use the same CPU cooler.

Yes. It supports AM3+ socket type. Just make sure to use the right bracket.http://store.antec.com/Product/cooling-cpu_cooler/kuhler-h2o-620/0-761345-77085-9.aspx

No, it only supports Opteron socket C32. AM3+ chips are completely different.Hope this helps.Jose SeisdedosTitanus Computerswww.titanuscomputers.com

It's an AMD AM2+/AM3 socket CPU. Fits any board that has an AM2+/AM3 socket, assuming the board is compatible and supports the clock speed and wattage.

I actually did not order this cooler, I ordered the GeminII S524. However, in the case of that, its retail packaging doesn't indicate that it works with my socket, the AM3+, but the Cooler Master website indicates that it does work with AM3+, and indeed it does.

First bullet spec... "LGA1150 socket for 4th Generation Intel Core i7/ i5/ i3/ Pentium / Celeron Processors"As a result, this only supports Intel CPUs, not AMD.

of course if my friend this processor is the socket am2 + and am3 and your motherboard supports both socket

Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.

AM3 or AM3+ The A8-6500 or any other A type processor will not work in that motherboard. You can use some FX type AMD processors. I may not be 100% correct, so search for the CPU-Z program and run it on your machine for the best answer.

Yes, AM3 processors are forwards-compatible with the new socket AM3+. the Video card will work as well
