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

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

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.

Sorry for the delay. The e-mail initiating this conversation when to my non-main e-mail. Nope. This is an FM2 socket, which is incompatible with AM3+ chips (read: anything Phenom). You'd need to specifically buy an AMD APU (Specifically the AMD A#-5#### or A#-6#### series processor).Hope that makes sense.

that cpu is actually socket AM2+, it is still compatible with this motherboard, no issues

These processors will fit this board as I see on their website. .....64bit AMD® FX, Phenom II X6/X4/X3/X2, Athlon II X4/X3/X2 and Sempron CPU.http://us.msi.com/product/mb/760GMP23_FX.html#hero-specification

Good question. The fx 6300 is overall a much faster cpu than the Phenom ii 965 BE; however, the Phenom, paired with a current generation video card should easily hold its own on any of the current video games. In your case, my opinion would be to go with a video upgrade rather than a cpu.

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.

I can tell you that I have AN AMD 9370 that works great with this mobo, I did however do a bios update awhile ago so I'm not sure if it'll work out of the box. updating bios can be done in bios itself when you have an Ethernet connection to the motherboard.

The H61 chipset is the wrong architecture for the xeon processor. You need something with the Intel C202 or C204 chipset and preferably ECC memory or it most likely will not post. You will also need a video card as I believe that model of cpu doesn't have intel graphics built in. This board is designed for i3,i5,i7, or G series processors.

Yes! I currently am running a Phenom II X4 980 CPU w/16GB RAM, 6770 Video & SSD. My best build so far. I'm not a heavy gamer but, it has not let me down in any way. Love it.

Yes you can use it perfectly.. you can check in the web site of the MOBO: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760GM-P23--FX-.html#/?div=CPUSupport

My question to you is what are you upgrading from? because I have this mobo with an A10-5800K and it works like a champ.

No. Requires FM2+ socket. FM2+ boards will support OLDER cpus, but not the other way around.

there are posters on newegg.com that's running this mobo with x6. Careful tho, i was going to get this until i saw some reviews stating that there are some heating issues with this mobo.

Yes the Phenom II 840 is supported by this motherboard if you update the BIOS version to the latest 2102 version before you install the new CPU .. We carry this model in stock and many more that are compatible with your motherboard .. Thanks for the question.. M&D Discounts Store front is here

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

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

It is a AMD Socket AM3, HyperTransport with 2 GHz. Your upgrade option will be limited to Socket AM3 compatible processorsSuch as: Phenom II, Athlon II, Sempron, Opteron 138x
