Since the recent news of Phenom II (Deneb) is out, and the new CPU is on its way, a lot of you are trying to find out if your board will work with the new CPU.

Quick Info about Phenom II. It will come out in two stages. First will be the compatible Phenom II. These CPUs are still 45nm and will run on the motherboards listed here on this post. This does not mean you will be able to use DDR3. The second phase will be the AM3 socket featuring 800 and SB800 chipset, also known as Dragon. These new boards will feature DDR3. A list of these boards and reviews can be found here.

If your Motherboard needs a BIOS update in order for it to work with the AMD Phenom II, you will most DEFINITELY need to use another AM2/AM2+ CPU to update the BIOS. The motherboard cannot support the Phenom II without the bios!

Here is a list, in order by Company Name, that shows which Motherboards works with Phenom II.

If you find a list, or a board, or any information, please reply to this thread with a link to the site you got the information from.

Note: The Bios Version is subject to change. If you find it, and it is older then the current Bios available, still list it.

Note: If Bios Version shows up as 'N/A': That does not mean there is no BIOS, it means I could not find the BIOS update for that particular model. If you want to know the BIOS that you need, consalt the manufacturing website for more details.

Well either I dig them up, or someone submits them.
 
nicely done dolk didn't even know we had a AM3 mobo section lol
 
Thanks e6600

I have updated the list and added some new changes to help people out.
 
i thought ANY motherboard with SB750 will support some of the AM3 cpu's. i haven't read into it too deep to see if ALL. my company better issue a bios update!

or swift kick in the arse will be issued!
 
Not all can handle the Phenom II due to the Wattage that is needed. Most motherboards that are compatible with the Phenom II have 790/750, but there are some 790/600 only because the board supports 140 Wattage Phenom I.

And then there is the BIOS thing. Why should a company spend money developing a new BIOS for each board.

Any motherboard that is AM2+ will support Phenom II because of the split power planes and HT 3.0 ... again that is IF the motherboard manufacturers release a BIOS update.
 
Pretty big if, when you already bought in. I'd be cranky in that situation.

Thank you gyik, I'll add this to the list tonight.

Updating the list this week.
 
Most likely yes. If it is a version above the one I have listed then it will most likely support the Phenom II. I would double check with the update logs just to verify.

Like I said before, I will be updating the list and double checking each bored is compatible.
 
Hmm... the Asus M2A-VM is listed as being AM2+ compatible on the Asus site, and this page says it's compatible with all the current X4 CPUs.

Is there a specific voltage that the 140w Phenom IIs need that I could check my BIOS for? I would be thrilled to be able to upgrade the X2 3600+ in it now.
 
The AMD 940 will start at around 1.2-1.3v. If the manufacture says it will run then it will. But I highly to anyone that is looking for a PII board to get a 140watt compatible board. Along with the new SB750.
