Socket FM1 cpu upgrade help!

mariodeda · Aug 16, 2013

Hello

I need some help for a CPU upgrade as it bottlenecks my Sapphire 7770 Gpu

Here are my pc specs:

CPU: AMD Llano E2-3200 2.4 ghz (Socket FM1)
MoBo: Pegatron 2acf (rev 1.01)
GPU: Sapphire 7770 1gb Vapor-x OC edition
RAM: 2gb DDR3
HDD: 1TB
PSU: CoreXstream 500w

I have found that the Athlon x4 651k is the best price/performance upgrade but it's not stated at the supported cpu in my HP booklet, so can i upgrade to this cpu?

Thnx for the help in advance

Check this link:

There is a list of compatible CPUs halfway down the thread, but I would assume that any FM1 CPU would work.

Good luck!

Thank you for the link, very helpfull!
Just another question, a BIOS update is required for a new CPU (the one i have is from 16 august 2011) or this version is ok?
My pc is OEM, model number: HP Pro 3405 MT, should i contact HP help?

Current version should be okay from what I can tell. At worst, you try the new CPU. If there is a problem, flash to the most recent (if one exists) with the old one, then swap them.

Good luck!
