Socket compatible, yes.

The motherboard will be a bit factor though.
While the later revisions* of the GA-78LMT-USB3 can supposedly "handle" 125W CPUs, even then, they're not exactly stable.
Appropriate cooling for the VRMs is required if you want to run it without issues.

*And, if you have an early revision, it likely won't support it full stop.


It's worth noting the FX lineup is dated, and at this point "dead" (nothing better coming for it).
Even a budget Ryzen or Intel Sky or KabyLake would better the 8370 in most tasks.

Depending on your anticipated uses, Ryzen3 (launches at the end of the month, I believe) is a quad-core option...... Ryzen5 have 4 core/8 thread and 6 core/12 thread options that you should probably consider over the dated FX platform.

If the motherboard is Rev. 4.1 or higher, it supports all AM3+ socket chips which means all FX chips. What you need to do is look at the motherboard's QVL (qualified vendor's list) of memory that is tested and guaranteed to work with this motherboard. That doesn't mean memory not on the list won't work, it just means the motherboard maker didn't test those non-listed memory modules.

Also buy memory in a kit (2x, 4x) than separately to minimize errors as even the same exact model of memory made at different periods and not at the same time can cause errors (differences in silicon, the memory maker changing the memory chip module OEM over time, etc.).
