I have a friend who just bought an fx 6300 becasue it was on sale but know he thinks that the fx 6300 is not compatible with his motherboard becasue it is AM3+ and he tried to install the cpu but seemed that it had one extra pin so he didn't force it. He has this motherboard:

P.S. He can return the cpu in case of incompatibility.
His current setup is an athlon II x4 640, 8gb 1866mhz ddr3 ram, and a very old gtx 260 (his looking to buy an R9 280X because a friend wants to sell one )
Looking for advices and suggestions for him. Should he return the cpu? On Asrock website says the fx 6100 is compatible and the fx 6300 is not much different.
