HP CPU Upgrade on ASUS M2N68-LA (Narra3-GL8E)

2011-07-06 04:09:00
Posted by: R

Upgraded from original CPU (AMD Phenom x4 9150e Quad-Core, 65W TDP)on this board to an AMD Phenom II x4 945 Quad-Core (95W TDP) in Vista SP2 running an HP Pavilion a6655f. No problem with the upgrade - smooth.

Same problem with the "AMD processor model unknown". Bios v5.14 Phoenix Technologies sees it but doesn't recognize it. Same with Vista. CPU-Z recognizes the Name (AMD Phenom II x4 945) and all else, but not the Specification (AMD processor model unknown).

Running the processor hard does pull on the 3GhZ speed, though, and the multipliers adjust when it does. Stock HSF seems to be doing okay.

I havn't found any Bios update for this board from any source I trust.

Next step - new build.

But, if you stick with the unit you have, you can buy a heavy duty processor from someone like Newegg or Microcenter, get a free or cheap mobo that supports it and some ddr3 RAM. With the CPU you already have, you could get away with just getting a decent mobo and the RAM.

Would this processor work on this motherboard? I know it's AM3, but from what I read those will work in AM2+ sockets.

There was a confirmation that the AMD Phenom II X4 840 works on the Narra3-GL8E Motherboard, but I was wondering if the AMD Phenom II X4 850 will work on this motherboard as well?

AMD Phenom II X4 B93(830)

Posted by: Damn HP

I put B93 to this mobo and it fully worked first time(checked with CPUID & CPU-Z).

However, Bus speed suddenly reduced from 200 MHZ to 57.5 MHZ and consequently core speed changed from 2.8 G to 800 MHZ. CPUID still identifies my CPU as 2.8 GHZ one(maybe preset by modo?) but CPU-Z shows currently functioning clock in real.

Anyone knows why?
