disturbed Posted July 5, 2006 CID Share Posted July 5, 2006 the safest bet is to take the cpu out, put new one in and set all bios to defaults....and go from there it should work like that no prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planatoid Posted July 8, 2006 CID Share Posted July 8, 2006 If you flash your bios, it may work fine. Give us a little more information. What's your exact motherboard model? What's your current CPU and new CPU? Exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your current CPU and new CPU? Exact. if the CPU would work with a flash of the bios it would say it on the website right on the compatibility list.
