Hey there,
My pc specs are
Processor- Intel Pentium dual core E2200 2.2 Ghz
Mobo- ASUS P5SD2-VM
GPU – Nvidia Geforce Gt 610 2 gb
4 gb ddr2 ram
So i was going to change my cpu to core 2 duo E7500 2.93 Ghz (getting really cheap ,just for $9)
Here is the list of CPUs that my motherboard support -
https://www.asus.com/ae-en/Motherboards/P5SD2VM/HelpDesk_CPU/
My questions are:
1. Do i need to upgrade my bios in order to make the chip work? I have never upgraded my bios before so steps will be great.
2. When should i do it. Before installing the new cpu and updating with old one or after installing the new cpu?
3. Can i overclock it in my mobo?
4. Should i buy i new fan for it (E7500 is not coming with fan)? Or the old stock fan will work that come with e2200?
5. Will there be significantly upgrade in performance ?
6. Should i buy thermal paste for it?or buy a new fan because they come with thermal paste on them already
I do not know a whole lot about computers compared with most of the people on this website, just enough to hook up a new rig and install windows, do basic troubleshooting, etc. but I do not understand most of the technical terms that are thrown around regarding hardware, so please excuse me if I am making some simple mistakes when I say the things I do.
