The motherboard comes with an AM2+ / AM2 socket designed for AMD
Phenom™ FX / Phenom / Athlon™ / Sempron™ processor.
The AM2/AM2+ socket has a different pinout from the 940-pin socket designed for the
AMD Opteron™ processor. Ensure that you use a CPU that is designed for the AM2/AM2+
socket. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket
to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
