hi guys i want to upgrade my processor from pentium D 2.8Ghz 820 to E5200 on my DQ965 mobo Will the intel DQ965 mobo support intel E5200 processor
If the link below is your board you shouldn't have any problems dropping that E5200 in there. Just to be safe update to a current bios before upgrading the CPU. http://www-dr.cps.intel.com/produc [...] erview.htm http://processorfinder.intel.com/d [...] Spec=SLAY7
yes the link u have displayed is my motherboard but i used the "IntelĀ® Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool" and found this link below http://processormatch.intel.com/CO [...] me=DQ965GF which show all the processors which are compatable with this board but i could not find the E5200
I would go with one of the CPU's on the compatibility chart. The E5200 may still work but will be unsupported.
well do u think a bios update for the motherboard would fix the problem?? and would enable it to support the E5200
Unless that compatibility chart is out of date you would gambling, taking a chance.
