    hey, can you guys give me a list of motherboards that this thing is compatible with>? the amd phenom II x3 if possible

  3. fransheskamirai says:

    i really don’t understand how the amd side of things works, perhaps anyone care to teach me how things work the amd way?

  4. 8JFTW says:

    @JonasDSDK Yes, they are completely backwards compatible. AM3 CPUs will work with AM2 and AM2+.
    I am using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ Mobo, and it works great.

    You tell it so funny but you must tell the peoples that he must ESD bands and that they must press a littlebit on the cpu and than push the hendle down.
    Further you talk to much in your tutorials very much, i will say, make a new good tutorial.

  6. JonasDSDK says:

    @SuperSONYdude I think 1 or 2 quad-cores which are am3 fit in am2+…. if that helps at all =

  11. proskill says:

    @danthaman7777 If you are installing the basic cooler that came with the CPU (or anything like it), then you do not need to. If you are using an aftermarket cooler, you will need to remove the "black rectangle" and use the special mounting equipment that came with the aftermarket cooler.

    i cant tell if it’s your cat or my cat meowing

  13. indonutswetrust says:

    how do u fix if there’s some thermal paste in the holes?

  14. SuperSONYdude says:

    Would am3 processors fit and work with am2 sockets? Cause im thinking of changing my processor to a better AMD, the one i have sucks.

  15. danthaman7777 says:

    when u install a cooler do u unscrew that black rectangle around the cpu @ 3:40

    @SnoekFilms with the help of GOD himself

  18. SnoekFilms says:

    how do i put on the cooler

  19. qert2 says:

    wish they made the pins tighter

    @Lagamaister
    Most likely you will have a very small bottleneck, but nothing that will make or break your computer. I’ll give you an example (and greatly exaggerate): your CPU is like a four way intersection. Only so many cars (which, in this case, would be data) can go through the intersection before traffic starts to slow down and become very heavy.

    TLDR: You most likely will get a very small bottleneck, but it most likely won’t be noticeable.

    It’s pretty true about Amd longlife sockets, if i recall correctly AM2+ boards does even support the latest Phenom X6 cpus. Not bad.

  22. kioketachivana says:

    cool =D

  23. DifficultyisEasy says:

    Awesome. I ruined a amd 64 3500 a few years back bending a pin lol I didn’t know wtf I was doing. Now i’m building a amd phenom II 3.4 965 with a rad 5870 so thanks alot man your videos are very helpful
