Anyway, the thread's about someone flashing the AM3 BIOS, getting it to work, and submitting the images and the BIOS file . The "article" mainly consists of waffle, and a bit of instruction (written in VERY informal style) . ONE THING: The download link DOES NOT allow me to download, because I'm not a member of the forum (Discuz! powered forums are always like that:badpc::badpc::badpc:) Also, glossary: brush = flash (as in flash BIOS) They're the same character in Chinese, and there's no good way to distinguish between them . u disk = flash drive (usb drive, thumb drive, etc) . Of course, I can translate the whole article for you (a far less crazy version than Google's) if you like . . . One of the things they mentioned is that AM2+ and AM3 is more demanding on the Northbridge than AM2, so it's recommended to put a low-end CPU onto it, to reduce the motherboard's burden . I guess that rules X6 1095T out then . Also, correction: making your motherboard support AM3 is doable, but there's a fair bit of risk involved: things can go wrong in flashing BIOS, and there may be unexpected issues afterwards . Nevertheless it's possible, and there's many people on the net who did it . Good luck . |

| 1153296 | 2010-11-17 09:41:00 | You can always go to the motherboard site. I have just fitted an AM3 processor to an ASUS AM2+ M4A785-M MOBO, there were 3 pages of processors that are approved and about half are AM3. I could not find an AM2 processor to replace one that had developed a short. | PENTIUM (426) | ||

Does the MB officially support AM3 CPU's? No. BUT, there are unofficial BIOS releases that makes AM3 possible. www.jetway.com.tw The product's GT3 but I can't find the GT version. |
