Will my motherboard fit an FX-8230 CPU?

[Dragoonman]

My motherboard is a Asus AMD M4A88TD-V EVO motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131646)

I'm upgrading to a new CPU (The FX-8230) and I was wondering if I also need to upgrade my motherboard just in case the new CPU doesn't work with it. I noticed that most new motherboards have AM3+ while mine is just AM3, so I was wondering if that will be a big difference.

Thanks guys.

It will fit psyhicaly but you might need to update bios to get run in am3+ mode
they both are same dimensions. here are that mobo cpu support list http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A88TDV_EVOUSB3/#support

Well, I scrolled through the list but didn't see FX as being supported, just Athlon, Phenom, and Sempron. Will updating the BIOS to AM3+ work?
