LongBike Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Aloha , Well I decided to do another case and Mobo installation to the spare case I have here. The case is a .... Coolermaster ...HAF , and the Mobo is a ...... MSI 970A-G46. Got the MoBo free and it is working from another guy here but no CPU in it. Using a Corsair ...TX750 Power Unit and have .... 1333 Memory on hand. Need to know what CPU's will be OK with this one if possible please. Would a .... AMD Phenom CPU fit this MoBo and would it work OK , and also which one would do it or another AMD ?

Locutus Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) MSI has a list of supported CPUs on their website. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/970A-G46.html#support-cpu (For some CPUs you may need to update the BIOS though it isn't stated on the compatibility list.)
