| 746605 | 2009-02-11 01:29:00 | Where are you?? You do realise thats a Canadian site and in US $ So, if youre in NZ, it'll cost more It will fit in a MATX or ATX case It probably doesnt come with the CPU, just the mobo |

| 746606 | 2009-02-11 01:33:00 | Yes I am aware of that, i'm Canadian. And also, what CPU would you recommend? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 746607 | 2009-02-11 01:41:00 | That depends, you'll have to find out what version of the BIOS is on it. Then click on the CPU compat link on the link you posted, to see what CPU can be used Because if you get a CPU (and the BIOS on the mobo) doesnt support it, it wont work. Until you update the BIOS (and you wont be able to do this, until you install a lower spec CPU (that the BIOS works with) Then you'll have flash the BIOS (then replace it, with the CPU you brought). So, it works |

| 746608 | 2009-02-11 01:52:00 | So i've looked at this page www.tul.com.tw I look up one of the CPU's that was on the page (is it everyone on that page that is compatible with the mobo?) and seems pretty good. its an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000. |

| 746609 | 2009-02-11 02:01:00 | All of those CPU's should work (but this will depend on WHAT revision / version of the BIOS is on the mobo) Depending on which 5000+ you get, you would need (the numbers / versions that are in bold), of the BIOS (I think thats the revision of the BIOS) 23 Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Windsor ADA5000IAA5CU 00040FB2h 2.6G F2 1M 2000 89 ES P P 24 Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane ADO5000IAA5DS 00060FB2H 2.6G G2 1M 2000 65 ES P P 25 Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane ADO5000IAA5DO 00060FB2h 2.6G G2 1M 2000 65 ES P P 26 Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane ADO5000IAA5DD 00060FB1h 2.6G G1 1M 2000 65 ES P P 27 Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane ADO5000IAA5DU 00060FB2h 2.6G G2 1M 2000 65 ES T1 T2 So, I would email the seller, and ask what version of the BIOS is on it |

| 746610 | 2009-02-11 02:07:00 | Also as for the CPU Fan, is there a certain compatibily or do i just get a general CPU fan? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 746611 | 2009-02-11 02:29:00 | Well the stock fan should be good enough / an AMD AM2 / + one | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 746612 | 2009-02-11 20:37:00 | That depends, you'll have to find out what version of the BIOS is on it. Then click on the CPU compat link on the link you posted, to see what CPU can be used Because if you get a CPU (and the BIOS on the mobo) doesnt support it, it wont work. Until you update the BIOS (and you wont be able to do this, until you install a lower spec CPU (that the BIOS works with) Then you'll have flash the BIOS (then replace it, with the CPU you brought). So, it works When i'm looking around for the BIOS version on the Motherboard, what should it look like? |
LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 746613 | 2009-02-11 20:54:00 | You have to go into the BIOS. So, it would have to be running It'll be under one of the menus / options |
Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 746614 | 2009-02-11 22:27:00 | so your saying i'll have to purchase the mobo before the Processor? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
