D2778-B14

Help, I have a Fujitsu Celsius m470-power with a D2778-B14 motherboard. I want to upgrade to a Xeon x5670 but the documentation shows support only for D2778-Cxx motherboards. Is there anything that can be done so that I can upgrade CPU? If any additional information is needed I will be more than happy to supply it. Thanks so much!!!

Post screenshots of first (CPU) & third (Mainboard) tabs of CPU-Z with current CPU.
Have you X5670 now?

OK, i will get the screenshots for you and no i dont have the x5670 yet, i wanted to see if the motherboard would support it first. in the manual it says the D778-Cxx revision can support it, and i thought one of the great people on this site could modify something to integrate support

Do I need to be in Windows to do that?

You can use other tool for Linux. But I don't know name of it.

You can't help me? Or it can't be done? Either way I appreciate the time and effort you have spent on this?
