My h/w is this : Motherboard Asus P5QL-e και Dual-Core Ε5300 @2.6Ghz
A friend gave me his CPU : Quad-Core (Q9400 Quad-Core) from his old pc which wouldnt boot (no beep) but I am not sure yet if it was a mobo problem entirely. Here's my question : Should i just try it on and see or is there danger for other components if theres some issue with it? And in case it works does my cooler (the old CPUs by default) suffice or should i look for something more efficient?
Thanx in advance!!
