hi! i have a wierd question hre guys. my mobo has an bios update saying support ffor am3+ vishera processor. i flash my mobo and everything is fine. and before buying an am3+ cpu, i would like to ask if anyone here has tried to put an am3+ processor on this certain mobo.
870A-G54 REV. 3.1 MSI
i know it fits on the socket without any problem. my 890gx never had problems with am3+ procie
 
I do not know but asked the same question on their user forum regarding 870A G46 that has the same listing in BIOS update. Ended up contacting their support and they confirmed what I said above. Remember an article in the past as well about the socket colors before the bulldozer release.
 
haha i guess ill be the 1st one to try it. the fx version has thesame components as the nonfx.
have the same bios 2. its just the black/white socket
if it work on my 890 am3, ill try it on my 870. it should work with the new bios.
ill be posting my results here guys. time for an experiment
 


Did you try putting Bulldozer on regular 870A-G54? Does it work?
 
yes actually it worked fine as i expected! i tried it with the cheapest vishera around.
however my pc is still under observation.
but it worked. i guess its a marketing style they(msi) made
 


[strike]Hey what BIOS do you have installed on your 870A-G54? I have 17.7 and since I'm giving my mobo to a friend to use with an FX6300 I was wondering whether I should flash it with another version first.[/strike]

Actually scratch that - I just saw that I need at least 17.19 for it to work :)
