    So I just bought a FX 6300, which has an AM3+ socket. Tomorrow my new MOBO will arrive, but until then I'd like to test this processor with my current MOBO which has an AM3 socket (ASRock N68 VS3 UCC).

    I did some research and some people say it works, some don't. I'd like to see more opinions on this.

    Thanks.

    AM3 and AM3+ are two different CPU sockets. Sorry man but you've gotta wait on your new motherboard.
