    Replace core 2 duo e6300 with e8400
    « on: January 15, 2020, 04:35:56 AM »
    Hi all,

    I have an HP m7650n which has an e6300 (1.8 ghz) cpu.
    like to overclock it, but it seems like the board (An Asus P5BW-LA-00) is locked (because the bios area for modifying the CPU is greyed out).
    I just came across an e8400 core 2 duo, and was wondering if popping this baby into my board will work, and if so, will it be faster?

    Thanks,
