do you have to have a certain type of cpu for this to be compatible with it, or does it not matter? I have a ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SAT

The CPU has a special kind of socket associated to it, such as LGA 1150 for Intel products and AM3+ for AMD products. The braket is all that matters here however the motherboard socket determines the bracket. So if your CPU fits on a certain kind of motherboard then that same socket will work for after market coolers.

Its labeled to be usable with AM3(+)/LGA 1366/LGA 1155/LGA 775 on the box. Another side note... This thing is HUUUUGE.. Picture is extremely deceiving.

CPU type doesn't matter in this case, the socket type is what your concerned with, specifically the mounting hole pattern for securing it. Your description is of an AM3+ socketed motherboard which is compatible with this cooler. AM3+ / AM3 brackets are supplied my manufacturer

I think newegg carries this. They have a better description on which cpus are compatible. I have a i5 4670k but I do believe it is compatible with what you have.

Work in every socket cause has multiple support but it's very big, you must have a lot of space to install

It does support the AM3+ as to fitting your chipset, no problem. If you run with both fans in place it will also extend above the closest ram slot so the taller ram chips will require removing the front fan should you decide to install ram in all four slots.

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 I mean good, but out of date and therefore inexpensive.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. This one is just all one piece while the other is two. As long as your cpu is AM3+ of course

I would suggest checking the product website, they have listed the compatible chipsets and processors

You have to look at the system board and it's specifications. You will have to see if it is comparable with this CPU's specifications. Cheers

Hi.no,the board does not support that cpu.here's a list of supported processors:http://tinyurl.com/a9oxfwy

It is compatible with Intel CPUs using LGA 1156 / 1366 / 775 socket and AMD CPUs in Socket AM2+ / AM2 / AM3 packaging, this versatile Thermaltake model was designed to work with just about every modern desktop CPU. Your CPU is AM3 I believe so yes, it should work just fine. However it is HUGE, so make sure you have room in your case. (5.5 inches X 4 inches x 6.5 inches). Google some images to see how big this monster is.

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

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: CPU GPU Memory ram

Neither of those names are recognized by the Manufacturer. You need to look on the motherboard itself for the model name/number then visit the website support for the compatible CPU list.

I really don't know... I mated mine to an AMD FX 8-core 3.0ghz cpu... with 32gig system RAM... don't worry about 'bottlenecks'... -=grin=-

it should, as it supports AMD 8 core processors, the only thing I would say is make sure it is on the correct/ approved list. make sure you have approved ram too, my motherboard kept crashing until I figured out the ram wasn't on the list. I have an FX-8350

Yes it is supported.You can find the list of supported CPUs here http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4192

It's compatible with the board, but the i7, i5, & i3 processors for that socket only support up to 1600 mhz, so unless you're intending to overclock your ram by 1000 mhz, you might want to bump it down a bit.

according to Asus website, it does support that cpu. Go to Asus.com and click on support. It shows you all the cpu's and the proper firmware version you need to make it work that particular CPU to work on the motherboard. Good luck.

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 should work. I've been using an AMD FX-8350 with it since October 2013 with no issues
