Optiplex 7050 8th gen support
#1
Hello there, I'm a bit of a newbie around here, thanks for letting me join your community.

I've seen that some magic has been possible with the Optiplex 7060 to enable higher gen support to the BIOS so I'm asking if one of you BIOS mod expert around here can do something for the Optiplex 7050.

I have one laying around at the moment and I use it for daily driving, I'd like to do a bit more gaming with it though and I was thinking of a CPU upgrade, it came with an i7-6700, I know I can upgrade to a 7700 without modifications but I'd love to rock a 6 or 8 cores CPU on it and the 7th gen doesn't seem to have any CPU that has more than 4 cores...

All I know for sure at the moment is that the Optiplex 7050 uses an LGA 1151 socket and a Q270 chipset.

I found contradicting information on the internet that could lead me to believe it could be modded to support 8th or even 9th gen CPUs but that it could involve pin mods on the CPU, I'm ready to go through it if it that is what it takes, it seems that it'd be easier with a 300 chipset but I like modding stuff around for better perfs even though I have never tried to use bios mods before, I'd like to give it a try Smile

So I come to you guys to know what can really be done with the Optiplex 7050 because for now all the info I found did not seem to very reliable and your modding community seems to achieve a lot of cool stuff so I figure at least some of you must be knowledgeable to figure if something can be doneĀ Cool

Thanks in advance for reading my request and taking some time to reply to itĀ  Heart
