will this work with any motherboard with a socket AM2?

It worked with a HP Compaq dc5750 which has an AM2 socket (upgrade from a Semperon 3400+).

Yes it sould work with any AM2 socket motherboard I put mine in a insprion 531s hope everything works out for ya.

It should be compatible with any LGA 1155 motherboard, including those made by Intel

Yes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_AM3#Compatibility"As AM3 processors also support DDR2, they are backwards-compatible with Socket AM2/AM2+, contingent upon a BIOS update for the motherboard. Manufacturers including Asus,[6] Gigabyte,[7] and others have labeled existing AM2/AM2+ boards as being "AM3 Ready" or similar, indicating that BIOS support is provided for the specified boards. This allows existing AM2/AM2+ systems to upgrade the CPU without having to upgrade any other components."Older CPU's can't go into the next newer AM socket motherboards, but the newer AM socket CPU's are backward compatible to the older sockets for AM2 and AM2+.

I don't see why not, but you need to make sure that the motherboard has an AM3+ socket.

Yes. Although in the AM3 family, AM3 CPUs will work on AM2/AM2+ boards provided the bois is up to date. If you decide to install it and your bios is NOT up to date, you can download it from the official asus website, however this must done at your own risk. Alternatively, if you already have the CPU in your possession, I would recommend you consider purchasing a slightly newer board with an AM3+ socket.http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/

Nope. That motherboard is older, and it has a different socket. Look up motherboards that have an AM3+ socket in order for this CPU to work.

I don't have the motherboard on hand so I wouldn't know if it'll work with your motherboard or not. My recommendation to you is look under your manual guide book that comes with your motherboard. It'll list all the different types of memory for your specific motherboard.

Yes it will. It will work with most modern ATX or mATX motherboards, including ones with AMD chipsets.

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. List your mother board here, and one of us can likely check it for you. souces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Phenom_microprocessors#Phenom_II_series http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X4%20960T%20Black%20Edition%20-%20HD96ZTWFK4DGR.html The seal on the box, which I unfortunately damaged to much to scan correctly also stated AM3.

Yes, it will, it works with AMD and Intel sockets, and YES, it will fit on your case, I have the same case, but, depending on your mobo and your rams it can cause troubles by coexisting, it takes many space (1 slot in the right place of the processor)...!!!

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.
2096526
No it won't. Although the socket matches it can't power the chip. That chip is a higher wattage than this board is designed for. Check out pcpartpicker for boards that will work with that chip.
1063379
Unfortunately, no, as this motherboard has an LGA 1150 socket only compatible with Intel Haswell CPUs. You have an AMD CPU that requires a motherboard with an FM2 socket.
2037346
It will fit the AM2/AM2+ socket type. As long as the MOBO supports it, it will fit
753372
This will work with any AMD processor as long as the MOBO has a pci-e x16 1.0 slot or better. Also make sure your PSU has enough wattage! The manual recommends a power supply with at least 380 watts.
610195
Yes, the socket on the board is FM2, and the manufacturer has stated that this board works well with the AMD A series.
2239828
It should be compatible. Both the board and the CPU use AM3+ socket. For the incompatibility alert, did you check that you have enough power from the PSU?
