It will, but only if the manufacturer has a updated bios to support the FX cpu.
BUT, sorry your board doesn't support it !

There are a few AM3 boards that can run an FX chip but it is very much not worth it. The FX chips on there native AM3+ platforms running AMD 9xx series chipsets barely puts competition on the Phenom II line of processors. Non-9xx series boards cannot utilize several of FX's functions at all and thus renders them very ineffective.
So the short answer is maybe but you really shouldnt.Life is what you make of it, we exist for the sole purpose of existing. Dont waste the universe efforts!
All statements, imagery, and ideas contained within any signatures are merely retold tales of fictional acts by a figment of the universe imagination.
So your looking for an AMD FX motherboard, things you need to know. Whats the max safe temps/volts for an FX?

That is what I was thinking, board by board vases based on bios update, but wasn't sure. I couldn't find anything with a search, must have missed it.
