i want to put a phenom II x4 in the HP pavilion a6407c with a M2N68-LA (Narra3) motherboard, but have read that only 95w cpus work. the 2 Phenom II 920 and 940 are both 125 w cpus on am2+ so i was wondering if any of the am3 95w phenoms would work?
I have some thoughts on upgrading an old hp pavilion a6200n but am wondering if the power buttons and all of the ports would work with a new motherboard like an a88x.
I wanted to know if a 3.5" HDD fits well in the 3.5" bay, not the best question but I need to know because I am getting a GPU that exceeds the normal limit that the case can hold with the HDD cage.
I am thinking of getting the core i5 6400, but the 6600k is a little under 220 and i was wondering if the 6400 would be ANY different than a overclocked 6600k. I am aware of what happens after a base clock-clock and am just asking for an opinion.
How would I go about setting up all my setting in the bios, considering my CPU doesn't have onboard graphics, would I be able to use any GPU I have available?
