MERGED QUESTION
Question from TopWizKid6234 : "Am3 and Am3+"

I have a msI-7641 motherboard
and when i searched it up it shows that it will fit a am3+ cpu

i wanna buy the AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz
and its a am3+ can anyone confirm this for me/

Editing my original post

According to the CPU compatibility PDF offered on https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/760GM-P23-FX.html#hero-specification
the FX-8350 doesn't appear on it.

Your motherboard can only support up to 95W CPUs, the FX-3850 is a 125W CPU. You would have to upgrade your motherboard to run that chip

It is AM3+; however, 8-core 125w FX CPUs are not supported on that board. You could run a 6300/6350 or the 8320E.

https://us.msi.com/file/test_report/TR19_24433.pdf

looks like it will work with the FX 8370E, fx-8300, fx-8310 or the fx-8320e

What @R_1 said.

Of those, I would suggest the 8370e or 8310; the 8310 has the highest base clock speed of them all, with the 8370e tying it for fastest turbo clocks.

These 2 are compatible , just make sure you update the BIOS IF IT NEEDS IT BEFORE YOU SWITCH THEM.

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I wouldn't put an 8 core 125w on either of those boards , poor power phase and thermal designs.

95w would probably be ok.
