Motherboard Components

Socket AM3+

AMD Socket AM3+, also known as Socket AM3b or Socket AM3r2, is compatible with a subset of AMD Orochi processors. It is backwards compatible with K10 processors designed for the AM3 socket, but these are not yet supported by coreboot-15h.

Official Documentation

Processors

Orochi FX (Zembezi and Vishera) and Opteron (Zurich and Delhi) processors are compatible with the AM3+ socket. TDP ratings for these processors range between 25 W and 220 W. Each AM3+ motherboard has a maximum supported TDP for CPUs. For example, the Supermicro H8SML is only designed to support up to 65 W processors.
