• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Extremely basic question

At the risk of showing just how "green" i am at this, i have a question to ask.

What is the difference between AM2 and AM2+ sockets?

If i order a CPU fan that says it's for an AM2 socket, will it still work for an AM2+ mobo and CPU?

THX, Jerry.

"Socket AM2+ is an intermediate successor to socket AM2, which features split power planes, DDR2 SDRAM and HyperTransport 3.0. Socket AM2+ chips can plug into a socket AM2 motherboard, but operate only with HyperTransport 2.0."
