AMD Athlon II X4 630 and Motherboard with Socket FM2+

[gargenn]

I am looking for upgrade my motherboard but I want to use my AMD Athlon || x4 630 which is Socket AM3.
Can I install it on Socket FM2+ or should I look only motherboards with socket AM3 only?

You can't use an AM3 CPU in an FM2+ motherboard. You will need to find an AM3 or AM3+ motherboard. You can double check compatibility by going to the motherboard manufacturer's website. For every motherboard there is a list of compatible CPUs and the minimum BIOS version.
