Asus M4A785TD-V EVO + Phenom II X3 720BE

Please can somebody tell me if these two components are compatible?

I've checked the Asus website, and apparently the mobo will need to be built on a specific PCB. I would be buying both items from OcUK.

Thanks in advance

He knows that, but there are 2 x board revisions 1.00G & 1.01G.

Maybe worth posting in the Asus forums on there site.

He knows that :rolleyes:

If you look on the Asus site under cpu list you will see that board revision 1.00G does not support all AM3 cpu's but board revision 1.01G supports them all.

You have a Asus M4A79XTD Evo whereas the OP is looking at an Asus M4A785TD-V EVO. The latter cannot do Crossfire.

Perhaps you need to RMA your motherboard. I assume that you have tried updating the BIOS to the latest stable version??
