Ecs G41t-m7 motherboard warning cpu q8400

[serguitus]

Hello everyone,
I bought a ECS G41t-m7 motherboard with cpu Q8400 and Im getting a warning message saying that this CPU is over spec, but the box says the motherboard supports this proccessor. Could someone give me an idea

It is on the list http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?CategoryID=1&DetailID=1093&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=1&LanID=0
Maybe a BIOS update is needed.

Thanks for your quick reply. I already checked the bios updates but they say that those updates are not for this but for other issues. Im not sure if I should try that. This envolves some risk
thanks

I´m getting exactly same warning with same CPU Q8400. I checked the rolli59´s answer and the information is there, in the specification tab:

It looks that we should try it, but i never did that before so im wary.
Please heck the link and tell me what u think.

It definitely solved by upgrading bios to last patch. No risk involved, dont worry, just be sure to use an UPS for safety with AC interrupts

Good luck
