i would say that the hp motherboard does not support the unlocked skus and has proprietary software.A bios update may help but it is unlikely.Best thing would be to get a cheap 2nd hand motherboard to oc that

Yeah Apple is correct. If you had read the link which you supplied for CPU upgrade paths you would have noticed there are no K series CPUs supported by that motherboard.

AppleGwava :

What motherboard should i buy that would work?

Often the chipset has a Watt limit on the CPUs it will support. The unlocked CPUs have a higher power limit and they get rejected for that. This is how most OEMs keep unlocked CPUs out. maybe there's an unlocked 2 core with HT that would work.
