Phenom 9950 Black edition in Asus M2N68-LA?

[kevinakerberg]

Hi everyone
I have a Compaq SR5130NX tower that I was looking to upgrade and I was just wondering if the Phenom 9950 black edition would fit in the motherboard. The motherboard is an AM2 socket while the CPU is an AM2+ socket, but I wanted to be sure it would work. Thanks.

No, if the mobo supportd AM2 and not AM2+ then it's not going to be compatible with your CPU.
