# AM3 + Socket: 942 pins
# AM3 Socket: 941 pins
# AM3 + CPUs: unknown
# AM3 CPUs: 938 pins

oh, i thought AM3 socket have 938 pins only instead of 941 pins?
so that a AM2+ CPU with 940 pins cannot install on it.

bro, a quick question . i OC my core to 3.6 GHz, do I need change the voltage too?

hye there. anyone can help me here? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1782779

my mobo wont boot, only stuck at post screen. thanks all 

yo guys..this noob has back
just finish setup my rig last nite..

*i also got AC F12 fan to replace tht stock fan
**Muskin 512mb at DIMM1 and Team Extreem 2x1Gb at DIMM 3&4..cant put Team RAM at DIMM 1&2 bc slot too close with cpu heatsink

help me overclock it guys..also can i still refer to this link? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/625156

wah, even clear cmos also won't boot?
the hdd can boot?
means the windows no corrupt right?

even it cant start at all, but now problem solved. someone advice me to clear cmos, start the system, hit F1 to continue. then restart the system again, let the mobo checking all component until it boot using 2nd bios (this mobo have dual bios). wait for 2 minutes, then tadaaa. it work fine just like before. actually i dono what exactly occur. some said it takes time for mobo to boot using 2nd bios.

I think everyone was mistaken by the AM3 and Bulldozer thinggy right?

From what i heard,MSI added some extra pin for it to be compatible with Bulldozer processor.

AM3 now have 941 while AM3+ have 942 pins.MSI added the new extra pin to make it compatible.

But for what reason i dont know

AM3 wont be compatible with Bulldozer.at least..so far no.

I think they are trying to make AM3 mobo's compatible with AM3+ procs with this method then couple up with a BIOS upgrade

AMD Bulldozer, Llano Launch Dates Leaked

Various sources point to June and July release dates for Bulldozer and Llano.

ZoomBased on information gathered by "industrial sources," various reports are indicating that AMD plans to launch its upcoming high-end desktop Bulldozer CPUs sometime during the week of June 20, 2011.

According to the reports, Bulldozer will arrive in quad-core, six-core and eight-core variants using the FX brand name. Two will be AMD FX4000-series chips, two will be AMD FX6000-series chips and four will be AMD FX8000-series chips. Four processors are slated to arrive in Q2 2011 while the other four are planned for a Q4 2011 release.

After the release of the initial Bulldozer processors in June, AMD is expected to launch its Llano "A-Series" APUs. These will arrive on the market in two-core, three-core and quad-core variants during the week of July 4. A total of eleven Llamo APUs will be released throughout the calendar year, the reports claim.

An additional leaked slide maps out the next two years, revealing that all three Llano APUs will supposedly support 1,600 MHz DDR3 memory at 45W and feature the "BeaverCreek" and "WinterPark" integrated DirectX 11 GPUs. The Llano APUs will target the mainstream and performance markets during 2011 whereas the Zacate and Ontario will focus on the essential and sub-12-inch markets respectively.

Looking ahead into 2012, AMD's roadmap shows the Trinity, Richland, Wichita and Krishna APUs. The first three will target the essential, mainstream and performance markets while the Krishna APU will target the sub-12-inch devices. All four feature Fusion graphics and support DDR3 memory.

oh, means the first bios gone already?
