The AMD Vishera Owners Klub - the new FX CPUs on old AM3+ mobos!

1st generation Hyper 212... (It came supported for AM2 socket)

AM3+ CPU retention Bracket - AM2, AM2+, AM3 and AM3+ are all basically the same...

use the Hyper 212 for OC. But if you compare with i3, 3 modules sound like better than dual core unless you do a lot of FP related calculation...

As long as games runs decently fine I am ok with it. Frankly speaking if I decided on i3 I think might as well get G3258 and OC it.

Don't really trust hyper threading on games that require multi core processors.

Thanks man so no need to dish out extra money for 3rd party cooler.

Its a shame why intel don't do it the same way.

Actually, both AMD and Intel have been reusing their respective mounting holes for the past few years now.

Really? Okay I stand corrected

However mine only supports LGA775. Will it be the same as LGA1150?

Yeah, I have a few old time HSF like yours too.

You can either stick to AMD or spend some money/time to look for the LGA1150/5/6 mounting brackets, IF still available.
