At the moment, AM2+ sockets can support AM3z and since AMD is releasing a new cpu (finally) anyone have any information if AM3+ will be compatible with AM4 CPU's?

 

Ryzen 5 1600 - GTX 980 Ti - Broke.

Nope. AM4 is a completely new platform.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
