*sigh* -- MB/CPU incompatible?

[Homerboy]

I have a MSI A78M‑E35 motherboard.

I just bought a AMD AMD A8 7600 from Amazon.

The CPU will NOT fit in the MB?

I do not get it.

*sigh*

Did you check if they not by accident send a different cpu /mobo.

No protective covers are still in place and rotated cpu all possible ways?

Gave it a quick glance looks both FM2+ but not up to date with all AMD socket changes.

UPDATE : your model number is not on the support list , but like you said FM2+ both.

Both should be FM2+.

The board supports the CPU.

Are you sure the CPU is genuine?

Another user had the same issue a couple of days ago.

There were apparently fake A8 7600 CPUs that were being sold on Amazon.

Here is that other thread:

Edit: Never mind. I see both posts are from the same user.
