CPU upgrade question

Solution
Technically it should but it all depends on the Bios software revision which no one outside of China seems to have access to. If you're in the US I would avoid buying something that has next to no technical support in any form.

Why don't you share the make and model of your motherboard and a host of supported processor will come up...? I'm assuming that this is a prebuilt server, which is why it'd be a good idea if you could post an SKU for the unit or the full system's specs.
