Processor not compatible on abit il9pro

Welcome to Tom's Forums! :)

WHY? I don't believe the Intel 945P chipset supports or compatible with the E5300 CPU. Similar MOBO { P5LD2 SE - http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=ly0uHyAg2GI5nzmr with same lack of E5300 }.

ref IL9 Pro - http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?DEFTITLE=Y&fMTYPE=LGA775&pMODEL_NAME=IL9%20Pro
CPU Support List - http://www.abit.com.tw/cpu-support-list/mb/intel_945p_il9-pro.htm

You have (2) choices: 1. Exchange the CPU for one on the list above; 2. New MOBO that does support the E5300. I didn't see any ABIT MOBO with E5300 support.

Replacement MOBOs:
ASUS P5KPL-AM EPU - http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=CRyEN2x1AF6jYScc
ASUS P5N-D - http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=yQYfAtkxxZMjR79G
Etc..

hello jaquith, thanks for the answer.
just for review, at my startup bios there`s text above :

E5300 @2,6Ghz 2 CPU CORE...
..a 200mhz system bus procesessor is installed. this processor is not supported on this board and will run at reduced processor clock speed. system performance will be impact.."

now, you give me 2 choice for that problem, exchange the processor cpu, or buy some new mobo that does support with th E5300.


but is there any other opinion for my problem?
btw maybe i think i will choose the first answer,
