Sorry man - that board doesn't support that CPU (here is the CPU support list).
However, if you can get hold of the 95W version of that Phenom II X4 955 CPU then it will work in that board (running the F13B beta BIOS).

Thanks for the answer... Well it seems that i have to upgrade my motherboard first so i guess i'll get this one Overclockers that should work
Or how about this... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-300-GI&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1481
Or for the latest chipset, this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-278-GI&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1782

I'm working away a lot so excuse the lateness of this reply.
Why shouldn't this processor work in his board? Someone told me a 1090T wouldn't work in my GA-M56S-S3, and Gigabyte say it's not supported. I believed this until I tried it. Runs fine though the VRMs can get a bit warm under the stress. You must have the latest bios though.

You might get lucky and it'll work forever, or luck might just run out and a VRM mosfet might just go pop on ya at the worst time. Had this issue when a client replaced 4 E6300s with Q6600s on some DS3 965p motherboards in systems i built, overclocked to 3.2Ghz, 3 boards toasted in less than 1/4 year.
I have this board, couldn't recommend it highly enough. Not missed a bit and the vcore is rock solid. Perfect for cheap clocking.

that I bought for my dad and it very excellent motherboard plus support 6-core as well (Im still using the Crosshair IV). I used Gigabyte motherboard years aso from 2000 until 2009 and changed to Asus so best if you upgrade to AM3 motherboard with DDR3 and sell your exist motherboard into Ebay and get some cash and buy new one that easy way.
