Update: This is solved with the help of DeathBringer.
Hi everyone
I have an
HP PRO 3500 G2 MT which came with an Intel G2030, I updated its microcode to latest to support i5-3470 which I’m using right now,
ME version is
latest 8.1, and I managed to get an i5-3570K but when I insert it and start the PC, I get CPU unsupported message then PC shuts off, I found out that
i5-3470 and
i5-3570K share same microcode, so technically it should work, but maybe HP is blocking it somewhere BIOS level.
So that’s the best I could do, now I’m seeking help from the experts.
HP PRO 3500 G2 MT Motherboard :
H-CUPERTINO-H61-uATX: 4.00
BIOS :
AMI 80.03
You can find BIOS backup attached

N.B. I do have the CH341A programmer.
Thanks in advance.
