Will this Processor work on a Asus - M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX Motherboard 2133MHz (Socket AM3 /AM3)? Is it also pretty good for gaming?

No, it will not work on an (AMD) Socket AM3 motherboard. It requires an (Intel) Socket LGA 1150 motherboard. You will need an AMD CPU for the Asus M5A99FX.

HI Victor, To the best of my knowledge the processor should work. It is basically AM3 processor. Also it is rated at 95W which is also what the motherboard supports.

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.

This processor should work fine with this motherboard. My boy put one of these processors in his computer and it has worked great! This processor is low power 95w if I remember right. No guarantees my friend. If you are buying the chip for under $100 and please remember to replace your mother board battery. Those were my last 3 failures. If you fail buy another motherboard.

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

It will acept all am3+ cpu's. So any amd fx serieres processors minus the 9000 series due to voltage regulator limitations. I owned the fx 4350 and was able to overclock this little beast to 5gHz in a gigabyte motherboard. So a very good combo you are looking at.

According to the specifications from Asus, the processor is supported, but I have no personal experience with it.

Emily .. No this processor will NOT work with your machine.. your machine uses socket AM2 and the stock processor you got with it was about 10 years out of date when you purchased it. E machines are basically JUNK .. they take old obsolete components and build machines that are obsolete by about 5- 10 years and sell them to un suspecting customers as "budget machines" for a premium price. You should avoid ever buying one again .. you would be better off buying a bare bones system on Ebay. You need a FX board for this processor.. if you are interested I could help you with building a machine.. Emily ..

It will work. You may be able to unlock another core if you are fortunate. I agree with N1ghtmare - if you want to game, get an FX. I use this processor in an HTPC and I unlocked a core. If you happen to not be able to unlock the 2nd core, you don't have much for a CPU.

This processor will not work. If you look at the processor's specifications, it says it's a socket AM3.

yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to... » Read More yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock « Show Less

This processor will. However, that board only supports AM2, AM2+ and AM3 socket CPU's. See manufacturers site for full list. http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-S%20UCC/?cat=CPU

no,It's a new gen processor . Yours is a AMD 3+ processor. These will, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007625%20600138080&IsNodeId=1&name=AM3%2b This mb will work will these processors http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A88TDV_EVOUSB3/#support_CPU

Yes it will work, but if you want to go faster get the i3 3220 chip w/ compatible motherboard (1155) z77 chipset preferably . If you get the i3 3220 chip you can get 1600mhz memory. Which is a pretty good upgrade if you can get it.

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

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.

Yes the CPU works? But it's all on the question if you're motherboard can support am3+ and support 125watt CPU"s . I'm not sure what motherboard you have so I cannot answer much. Idk if this is a 125watt CPU but still
