Hi! I have PC with this motherboard home. It has I7 920 CPU but i want to update bios but i can´t find any bios on the internet. I want to use Xeon E5640. Can i use this CPU in this motherboard or i need better?

I tried it but it doesn´t work only with I7 920. I found some second hand motherboards Asus p6t and Asus Rampage II Extreme for good price. P6t with 4gigs of ram. Which one is better?

 

[DrMrLordX]

Rampage II Extreme should be the better board, I would think, though neither one of them officially support Xeons in their CPU support list. That might not mean anything though.

It's because the Xeon has 2 QPI links. The HP board won't recognize it. Either of the other 2 after market boards should work fine with the Xeon.

Ah okay, that clears up that question then. No amount of BIOS updates will fix that problem for the HP board.
