It says "Although Socket AM3 processors can be used on Socket AM2+
motherboards, the opposite is not possible". 

I'm using a 955 in a M4A88T-M/USB3, which is minor variant of your AM3
board. My understanding is that the 955 is an AM3 processor.


BTW in my case only the temperature is correct, but is only given for
the first 2 cores.
