Hello everyone. I recently bought an Asus Silent Square on eBay- not the pro, and not the Evo. I will have it in about a week, but right now, i'm finding some conflicting information. Does it fit an AM2/AM2+ socket?
The eBay ad specifically lists compatibility with "AMD: Athlon64/64+ Socket754/940/939". A photo from the listing, showing the box of the actual cooler:

(unfortunately, poorly focused) You can clearly make out "AMD Athlon 64 (FX)", and another AMD entry, which I think says Athlon 64 X2.
Asus's website also claims compatibility with "AMD Athlon 64 X2/ FX (Dual-Core), AMD Athlon 64/Sempron CPU."

What worries me is the Newegg listing. It says: "This unit is made to use with Intel Socket 478/775, including the newest Core 2 Duo models and AMD K8 platforms. (Note: This is not designed for use with AMD AM2 Socket processors.) "

Help! If someone could please just let me know if this will fit my AM2 motherboard, that would be fantastic. I would like to know whether to open or sell this thing when it arrives. Thank you!
(as a side note, the list of compatible motherboards is a broken link, and if anyone knows if it will fit an Asus M3A32-MVP, that would be great too.)
