In order for us to be able to provide the most accurate information in regard to your question, please provide the model of the motherboard and the model of the processor, so we can verify if it is fully compatible. The fact that they have the same socket does not necessarily means that they will work on the same board, that is why we need the information above. Any further questions, please let me know.
