Looking to upgrade my processor, and would like to get one of the cpus I listed in the title. However, they are not listed on the Asus wbpage as being supported (the highest is the 970). Is t here reason to believe that those two CPUs aren't going to work, and does anyone have any expierience with this combo?

I would email asus tech support. Odds are it will work, but let them confirm it. Filling the form only takes a few minutes.

My guess is that the MB simply doesn't support those higher clock speeds. The Phenom II X4 970 is no slouch, however. It would still be a very decent CPU.

Wow, thanks for the super quick replies.

Going to contact support, I was mostly intereated in theBE Phenoms, for the unlocked multiplier, but it sounds like the 970 might be more than what I need for a decent gaming box (currently using an Athlon II x3 445)

So i got a reply from Asus, and they said that the processor hasn't been tested, ao they can't guarantee it will work. The 975/980 have the same deneb core and the same wattage at 125. On newegg the BE editions have a much better warranty, which is a major reason why I'd like to get them over the 970. 3 years over 30 days seems like a no brainer

Hi,
I don't know if this helps, but I have a M4A785TDV-EVO ASUS motherboard and I'm running a Phenom II X6 1100T overclocked to 4.0GHZ and I haven't noticed any hiccups.
