Does anyone know if i can put a AMD athlon II X4 630 processor on a NFORCE6M-A 3.0 motherboard? And if not is 620?

That is an AM2+/AM2 motherboard and those CPUs are AM3 so nope. Here is the CPU support list.

But cant you put a AM3 in a AM2+? http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/269473-28-will-work-mobo

In some where the bios support the new CPU's. You motherboard only has a single bios update for AGESA which is a bootstrape protocol for controling HT. If you click on the link I posted you will see a cpu tab half way down the page. It tells you every CPU the newest bios supports. Unfortuanatly ECS didn't update the bios with new CPUs and those on the support list say AM2.
