Does anyone have an 1155 CPU I can borrow?

I need to upgrade my BIOS, but my CPU isn't compatible. And my CPU isn't compatible because I can't upgrade my BIOS. :hmm:

So you need a Sandy Bridge (2xxx-series) CPU to update a motherboard with a 6-series chipset, so that it'll work with an Ivy Bridge (3xxx-series) CPU?

Pick up a Pentium G620 on eBay, update your BIOS, then turn around and sell it on eBay. You'll probably break even.

I have one you can use. When are you next in the UK?

Ha, I'm never selling on ebay again. Maybe I'll just save up for a 2011 board.

I was planning to take a boat to North Kilttown this weekend.

If I have to spend extra money, I might as well buy I new motherboard instead of a crappy CPU.

Update: I'll pour a shot of gin and whiskey for anyone loaning out 1155 CPUs this week.
