i need to replace the CPU's in my sisters computer ... ( one pin missing from cpu , board also might be fried ..but i want to try a new cpu first to see if i actually need a new board )
i have asked her to look for the manual for the as rock , motherboard so i can identify it .... but she can not find it
usually , a board has the code on the board to identify it ..... but i can not see it anyway please see picture of board
it had a 6 core phenom 2 ...cpu in it ( into a AM3 socket ) ..... i want to down grade this to AMD HDZ965FBGMBOX Phenom II X4 965 - 3.4 Ghz AM3 Black Edition CPU
or
AMD Phenom II X4 945 Quad-Core Processor (3.00 GHz, 2MB Cache, Socket AM3, 95W, 45nm
goes going by the board specs on the asrock site ...it does look lightly .....based on the spec of the board in the picture.....but because i don't know the board part number .... i have doubt
3 things really ... can anyone identify the board ?
and also .... as it has a 6 fore in it ( and supports 6 core ) ... if i put a quad core in to it .... will have to mess around with the bois ? it will the board just take the new cpu without any issues ?
also if it does turn out to a fried board , can some recommend a new board ........ 8g ddr3 ram ( 4g dual ) ...of course quad core cpu ... socket am3 .... rest of the stuff does not matter , just has to be cheap ( my sisters car , washing machine , and oven ...have all gone in the same week
many thanks in advance
