That motherboard belongs to an Optiplex GX620 does it not? As far as I can tell, the GX620 does not officially support anything higher than the Pentium D 940.

Yes it does, currently running a pentium 4 had a spare cor 2 duo was curious what I could put in it. Thank you. Any idea how to update bios if its running windows 7? Flashing just says it doesn't support os and i've tried using floppy.

Run the BIOS update utility from DOS environment (Non-Windows users)


NOTE: You will need to provide a bootable DOS diskette. This executable file does not create the DOS system files.

Copy the file A11GX620.EXE to a bootable floppy.
Boot from the floppy to the DOS prompt.
Run the file by typing Y:\A11GX620.EXE (where y is the drive letter where the executable is located).

If you don't have a floppy drive, you can use a USB Flash drive but you will need to format it with floppy emulation and make it bootable.

So you know, Optiplex GX620 supports up to Pentium D960, in this case copper heatsink is required.
