AM2 Does the motherboard support AM2?

I heard that it's backward compatible, but no one knows if it hasn't come out yet!!

Nothing AM2 plus, now AMD processors are an AM2 interface.

The AM3 motherboard cannot be connected to the AM2 CPU, the AM3 socket is not compatible with the AM2 interface, which has 938 physical pins, and the socket-AM2 and AM2+ sockets have 940 pins.

The full name of AM3 is Socket AM3, which is a CPU interface specification. All AMD desktop 45nm processors use the new Socket-AM3 socket, which has 938 pins of physical pins, which means that the AM3 CPU can be physically compatible with the old Socket-AM2+ socket or even the earlier Socket-AM2 socket, because the latter two have 940 pins, and in fact, the Socket-AM3 processor is fully capable of working directly on Socket-AM2+On the motherboard (BIOS supported), however, the 940-pin Socket-AM2+ processor will not be able to be used on the 938-pin Socket-AM3 motherboard.

The AM3 CPU can be plugged into the AM2+ motherboard, but the AM2+ CPU cannot be plugged into the AM3 motherboard. Because AM2+ has one more foot than AM3.

Yes, and you can go to the motherboard's official website and take a look at the CPU support list of the relevant motherboard, which will list the CPUs that can be supported.

The CPU interface of 880G is described as AM3 AM2+, which means that it is fully compatible with the old CPU of AM2

AMD's interface is backwards compatible.

But another problem arises. Your old 4200 can't support DDR3 memory. So you still don't have to.

So it's not that the CPU can't be used, it's just that DDR3 memory is not supported.

That's why it still doesn't work.

I really want to use it. Just replace the board with 785, then the whole series can be on, the only disadvantage is that it can only DDR2 memory.

Can't get on, less foot, am2 is 940, am3 is 938

Before the AM3+ bulldozer CPU, AMD's AM3 CPU can even support AM2 socket motherboards, the main reason is that it supports DDR2 and DDR3 memory dual specifications, although because the HT bus of AM2 motherboards can only reach 1000HT at most, while AM2+ and AM3 are above 1800HT, there will be a certain performance loss on the bus, but at least it can support upgrades.

However, in the era of bulldozers, AMD completely abandoned DDR2 memory support (at least AMD's official instructions only state that DDR3 1866 is supported, but there is no mention of DDR2).

Therefore, for the traditional AM2+ motherboard, that is to say, the motherboard with DDR2 memory cannot support the bulldozer.

And because of the long time, and the power supply part of the bulldozer has been modified compared to the AM3, not to mention the AM2+, which means that theoretically, the motherboard of the AM2+ cannot support the bulldozer.

Therefore, the motherboard of AM2+, if it is upgraded, and the quality is better, it is not better than considering the bulldozer, and it is right to go directly to the X4 Pterodactyl.

If you are buying a new machine, go directly to the AM3+ motherboard.

The CPU of AM3 can be used on the AM2+ motherboard, provided that the BIOS support of the AM2+, the CPU of the AM2 can no longer be used on the AM3 motherboard, because the AM2 has more pins than the AM3.

Yes, AMD is top-down compatible, which means that the motherboard can have more pins and fewer pins for the CPU, but not vice versa.

Yes, because the m3 motherboard pin definition is basically the same as the am2, but there are two less, so it can be installed, but for the current am2 motherboard, it can only be supported normally after brushing the latest version of the bios, but the old motherboard will cause a more obvious performance degradation. By the way, the CPU of AM2 cannot be plugged into the motherboard of AM3, and forced installation will cause the CPU pins to be destroyed.

Both can be used, and vice versa. The motherboard of AM3 cannot be connected to the CPU of AM2. If it works, it doesn't affect performance. BIOS support is not supported, please see the motherboard manual.

No problem, now the CPU socket of the AM2 motherboard and the AM3 motherboard are the same, but it is possible that the performance will be affected somewhat.

AM2 is 940 array, which belongs to the 2nd generation memory, AM3 is 938 pins, which can be used on the AM3+ board, but the effect is not good, AM3+ is 939 pins, it is recommended that if you want to use it, it is best to choose the corresponding CPU, no.

No, you can't get 100% CPU performance if you have to plug it in.

The CPU of the AM3 interface can be used on the motherboard of the AM2 interface, but not the other way around, that is to say, the CPU of the AM2 interface cannot be used on the motherboard of the AM3 interface;

The main reason why AM3's CPU can be used on AM2's motherboard is that AM3 is a CPU interface specification, which is a process level 45nm processor, and it has 938 pins of physical pins, while the old Socket-AM2+ socket or even the earlier Socket-AM2 socket is physically compatible, because the latter two have 940 pins of physical pins.

At the same time, because the AM3 CPU has built-in DDR2 and DDR3 memory controllers, that is to say, the AM3 CPU supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory, and the use of DDR3 motherboard and memory, the AM3 CPU can maximize the performance, and if the DDR2 memory is used, the performance will have a certain impact. Using the AM3 CPU, the AM2 motherboard may not recognize the new hardware or the CPU support is not enough to give full play to the best performance, you can upgrade the motherboard BIOS to improve the compatibility of the motherboard, it is recommended to check the motherboard's official website to see if there are relevant BIOS files that can be upgraded.

1. It is absolutely impossible for the motherboard of AM3 to support AM2 and AM2+ processors, the reason is very simple: AM3 is 938 pins, AM2 and AM2+ are 940 pins, and the motherboard AM3 has only 938 pins, and there is no place to insert the 2 extra pins of the 940 pins of the processor AM2 and AM2+.

Only AM2 motherboards are likely to support AM2, AM2+, and AM3 processors at the same time.

2. The processor in your configuration list does not match the motherboard, and it is recommended that the processor be changed to: Core i3 2100 (about 750 yuan). The H61 chipset is originally a low-end chipset, and it is completely unnecessary to have a mid-range processor i5, and it is not cheap.

3. It is not recommended to use a green disk for hard disks, the performance is too poor, and you will find that it takes a long time to install an operating system after using it (compared to the blue disk at the same price). It is recommended to change: WD5000AAKX 500GB blue disk, more.

Thirty or forty dollars, the performance is much better than it.

4. 500W is not necessary for power supply, and the rated 400W should be enough, recommended: Kangshu iPower 470 Enhanced.

Yes, because the motherboard also supports AM2 AM2 + AM3 at the same time.

For example, the GIGABYTE GA-MA78LMT-S2

AMD also has a killer feature, that is, AM3's full backward compatibility. In other words, theoretically, AM2, AM2+, and AM3 motherboards can all support AM3 processors, which is good news considering the low cost of AMD platform motherboards**.

However, you need to note that the current AM3 motherboard is not backward compatible, that is, the AM3 motherboard cannot support the AM2 processor. For the time being, the 690G age and previous chipsets are basically unable to support the AM3 processor, but it is not excluded that the manufacturer's constantly updated BIOS can create miracles. However, the current mainstream products of the AMD platform can solve this problem.

780G X, 790FX, 790GX, MCP78, basically no problem, especially C78 and 780G are more generous, generally the newer boards of first-line manufacturers can perfectly support AM3 without updating the BIOS, of course, only DDR2 memory can be used. In this matter, the value of the first line is reflected, for example, the Gigabyte 780G-S2HP I bought, and the BIOS that supports the AM3 processor has been released. And their boards are generally better supported.

My advice is that if you want to upgrade and you don't have a lot of budget, then the 780G and GF8200 boards are very good choices, and if you have meters, then 790GX and 790FX are undoubtedly better. The AM3 processor on the AM2+ motherboard has very little difference when using DDR2 memory

It is recommended to buy the AM3+ under the pretext that there will be more room for upgrading later because of AMD's bulldozer hehe. The AM3+ is a bulldozer CPU with up to 8 cores that will be ready to be launched later and completely surpass the i7 series. As far as is known, the AM3+ series motherboards are only supported by ASUS 6 AM3 motherboards for the time being, and it is necessary to update the bulldozer that is ready to be launched for backward compatibility, so it is not impossible for AM3 to support bulldozers.

The difference between the appearance of the motherboard AM3 and AM3+ is simple The AM3+ is a black slot, and the AM3 is white.

There are a lot of AM3 motherboards, I introduce two ASUS M4A77T, ASUS M4A785TAM3+ motherboards, ASUS M4A78L GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 without integrated graphics card, all of them come from large boards

ASUS M4A87TD 600Ԫ GA-870A-UD3 675Ԫ

No, the AM3 CPU can be plugged into the AM3+. The new AM3 motherboard can support the AM3+ processor well, because it has been equipped with the latest BIOS at the factory, this kind of motherboard is designed as a black CPU card holder, so it can be said that as long as the motherboard is a black card card, it is good to support the AM3+ processor.

**The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a very large-scale integrated circuit, which is the computing core and control unit of a computer. Its function is mainly to interpret computer instructions as well as process data in computer software.

**The processor mainly consists of combinators (ALUs, arithmetic logic units) and caches, as well as buses that enable the data, control and state between them. Together with internal memory and input and output (IO) devices, it is known as the three core components of electronic computers.

socket

AM3+ with socket

AM3 is compatible with each other, AM3

The CPU works on the AM3+ motherboard, but the AM3+

The CPU can only run on some AM3 motherboards (usually requires a refresh of the BIOS), but the power supply may be insufficient and the performance will be limited.

1. The motherboard with the AM3 socket cannot be plugged into the AM3+ CPU.

2. The AM3 motherboard is backward compatible with AM2+ or AM2 CPUs, and cannot use AM3+ CPUs.

3. If it is an AM3+ motherboard, you can use the CPU of the AM3 socket or the CPU of AM3+.

No, it doesn't. The CPU of AM3 can be plugged into the board of AM3+. Not the other way around.

You are 250 CPUs. That board is am3. You can get a 965 CPU with a 955.

The board is a socket for AM3. But the CPU on AM3+ is not good.

X4 965 is AM3 and can be used, while AM3+ is backward compatible and can be plugged in theoretically, but to flash the motherboard BIOS I personally recommend that it is better not to do this. The reason is 1The motherboard doesn't necessarily have an upgraded BIOS 2

Although it is compatible, compatibility issues may still occur 3The old motherboard has limited support for the new U, limiting some of the new U performance. I see that the U you choose is about 1k,Actually, if you play games or something,It's really not necessary,1K can be on the motherboard of 641+A75。

Playing games is not much worse than 1090t。。。 Or you can buy a x4 640 pack of open cores, and the purpose of opening the core is achieved. It's cheaper.
