Will this fit in a Corsair Air 540? Is it compatible with AM3+? Lastly, will it let me overclock my FX-6300?

I would look at your corsair. It does come with amd brackets. This will keep your processer cool. From what I have seen from this fan the temp hasn't gone above 43C and that's when I was out of town and my AC crapped out.

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

Maybe 12inch 10? Its much like the h100 but slightly thicker surface area but will fit any case that can suposrt 240mm compared to the h100i or 110 pr the nother new series of corsair that recently came out, the temps are better and performs well in overclock, i got a fx8350 overclocked at 4.9ghz temps is at 29-35 degrees full load 45-55 ive had it quite some time now, and works really cool really awesome!

Yes, it's am3+ compatible, but this mobo won't perform as good as a true am3+ mobo. This is just an old am3 mobo with an updated bios so that it can run am3+What I recommend you is to buy a truly am3+, non 760g

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.

Works well with Corsair H80i, and has used CM TX3 before. So, I'd guess it should work fine add long as your tower doesn't have issues mounting. Just ensure that it supports AM2+/AM3+ socket.

I'm not entirely sure but I'm almost positive that this late in the game the board should come with a Bios that will recognize your AM3+ processor.You can also go to the Overclock.net forums, they have the " Gigabyte GA-990FXA-Series Owners Thread/Club " and post your concerns and in no time you should have a reliable answer.Good luck, I myself am thinking of buying this board also.

Yes, it comes with a universal mounting bracket that works on am3+. I installed one of these on an AMD am3+ fx 8 core, man does it work great! Keeps the processor 20 degrees cooler than OEM.

Yes, you can use the fx-8150 CPU within a AM3+ motherboard. I am currently running this setup so i know 100% it has 0 problems. Liquid cooler is a must for overclocking. The stock air fan is loud but, the liquid cooler is a much needed improvement. Go with this you cant go wrong great value with this setup. My processor windows rating is 7.8 with overclocking to 4.3GHz.

Not at all. The socket for this is am3 while yours is am2. It won't even fit much less work. Plus trying to upgrade an emachine is kind of a lost cause. Maybe the ram could be updated but that's about it.

It is an AM3 socket. It is designed to work with AM2+ or AM3, but you will likely need to update your bios first if you use it in an AM2+ socket. Under most circumstances, you can us an AM3 cpu on an AM3+ mother board. To be certain, you should check the supported processors list on your manufacturer's official page.

The fx-8350 is an AM3+ socket and should work. However, my experience with this board is that I bought three of them, 2 I could not get the USB ports to work and the third would not operate at all. I then tried an ASUS board and had no issues at all.

I have an AM3+ board, but for the compatibility please look for your board here: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products;_id=37&lng;=es, or write an email to support@noctua.at.

Hi, I searched around a little bit and found a pretty thorough answer on a forum called "Legit Reviews". In short, no, it will not fit. The AM3+ CPU's have 942 pins, and the AM3 socket only has 941 holes. The extra pin on the AM3+ is to allow it to utilize DDR3 SDRAM. The full explanation, by "Legit Reviews" member "Apoptosis" is below: "Socket AM3 was launched on February 9, 2009 as the successor to Socket AM2+. As you know Socket AM3 added support for DDR3 SDRAM and those processors will not work in older sockets. The newer Socket AM3+ or AM3b design that came out in October 2011 is a modification of the AM3 Socket to run Bulldozer processors. It still retains compatibility with AM3 processors. The AM3+ Socket specification contain has 942-pins, which is an increase of one over the AM3 Socket's 941-pin. They unblocked one of the blocked off pins on the AM3 socket design, so that is how it works. You can put an AM3 processor in an AM3+ socket, but not the other way around." http://forums.legit reviews.com/about41329.html Just remove the space in the middle of the URL to see the source.

It is a great card and would it would be compatible with the board . although u must consider having a power supply than can power it properly( MSI Recommends a 750w) , if you are using a budget / lower end cpu it will seriously limit your frame rate , you must know if it can fit in your case as it is too long to fit into some cases (dimensions - 276x127x39mm) and if you are using an aftermarket cooler for your cpu how close would it be to the card which may affect airflow inside your case.

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

Sorry,man, didn't calculate it. But I have a 600w PSU with this R7 4 HD an external USB3 hub (with 2 joypads, wifi and 3 external HD), additional audio card and never have a problem. I never tried to overclock it.
