Do socket FM2+ CPUs work on FM2 Motherboard?

[Kyle_1]

Can I use an FM2+ APU on a socket FM2 Motherboard?

You can put FM2 APUs in FM2+ motherboards, but you cannot put FM2+ APUs in FM2 motherboards. There are more pins in the FM2+.

APU's can also fit in FM2 sockets, as according to FM2 motherboards. As long as they are supported.

Only Kaveri APU's are not supported on FM2 sockets.

Yes, all of the FM2 CPUs are listed as fitting in the FM2+ motherboard, but no FM2+ CPUs are listed as fitting in the FM2 motherboard.

I know, just listed that in case the OP though all APU's. Just clarifies his options.
