Hi right now I'm running a Opteron 1352 and turned off cool n quiet to disable the 95w warning on post.

I know Opteron 1352 is 65nm but the Opteron 1389 is very desirable with its 2.9Ghz quad core 75w to 115w as they say.

I wonder if it would work?

Thanks
 
Officially that board doesn't seem to support either but from what I see it should work since it still has DDR2 support but you're taking your chances. Make sure the BIOS is up to date.
 
Just to update I bought two 1389's since I have two MCP6PB M2+ v6.3's and I also bought 4 x 4GB PC2-6400 High Density Modules.

Just to let you know the 1389's work flawlessly on this board as well as the 8GB of ram.

I easily clocked the 1389's up to 3.2Ghz so they're rocking hard for this setup. I got the 1389's for 30 dollars a pop and paid $38 for the 16GB Kit 4 x 4GB Modules.

All in all I am happy the L1 read rate went from 324GB/s to 400GB/s so that's 23.46% increase.

The CPU Queen Score went from absolute max 19,075 on the 1352 @ 2.6Ghz to 23,463 points on the 1389 @ 3.2Ghz.

That 3.2Ghz though is extremely stable so I'm sure I might be able to break 25,000 points which would out-pace the QX9650.

Just to let you know this isn't "Weak Performance" because we are only a few Thousand Points shy of an FX-8150 8-Octa-Core Processor.

The CPU Queen Score went up exactly 23.00% and that's about as much as I will see in terms of FPS and Overall System Performance.

However from 4GB to 8GB of Ram is really going to make a crazy difference for Far Cry 4 all Ultra at 1080p.
