Am1 processor on AM3 motherboard

[PremiumMaster]

Hi guys i have a question about cpu and socket ... can I install a AM1 processor like AMD Athlon 5350 R3Series on an AM3 motherboard ( ASRock N68-VS3 UCC)? . Please answer me yes :( :(

I'm sure they have a website revealing the CPU's supported for that mobo?

no, im not googling it for you.

yes they do have a web site and they do have a CPU list

http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68-VS3%20UCC/?cat=CPU

and from what I can see no it does not support that CPU

AM1 socket CPUs require AM1 socketed motherboards.
AM3 socket CPUs require AM3 socketed motherboards.

So, clearly, the answer would be NO. However, there are a few decent choices for motherboards in the AM1 category -- just not good for gaming.

Mhhh ok , I think I will buy AMD Athlon II X3 460... It's it good for gaming ?

I have also saphire r7 250 1gb gddr5 .

I have a low budget T.T

that will be the worst buy you could make a X3 is a X4 with one layer that FAILED QC and has been turned off IMHO a CPU like that is a failure waiting to happen.

I know that with a procedure called "CPU core unlock" (supported by my motherboard) I can transform X3 (3Cores) ------- > X4 (4 Cores)

In this way it would change the situation?
