Is a q6600 compatible with a Foxconn hi-ig41 uatx motherboard

[Bridger phillips]

I bought a lga775 q6600 I need to know if it’s compatible with the Foxconn hi-ig41 uatx motherboard

if you mean this board: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01903990

 

then no. look under processor upgrades.

It doesn't seem to support the Q6600 (105W ).

 

 

Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

 

Core 2 Quad Q8xx0/Q9xx0 (Yorkfield core) (95W)

Core 2 Duo E8xx0 (Wolfdale core) (65W)

Core 2 Duo E7xx0 (Wolfdale core) (65W)

Pentium Dual Core E5xx0 (Wolfdale core) (65W)

Celeron Dual Core E1xx0 (Conroe core) (65W)

Celeron 4xx series (Conroe core) (35W)

Oh bummer I looked at pc specs and it said the processor was supported

i don't know if that is the specific board. you need to verify that for yourself.

What GPU you gonna go with? Pls don't say integrated

Sadly I have a 730 in it I’m saving up for a asus gtx 750 ti overclocked edition

Hey peeps, couldnt help but read the thread and a simple google search for the g41 chipset shows it supports the q6600

Just recently put a q8200 on a g31 express chipset (dell optiplex 330) and the documentation said it wouldnt support it but alas it works like a charm, Should have checked google prior to asking btw your q 9xxx will be fine ,)

Sometimes even though CPU support isn't explicitly stated, some CPUs will still cooperate with certian motherboards even though they are not "offically" supported.

 

Good example would be my dads Intel X58 board. Unbuffered ECC memory and a Xeon X5680 both work perfectly in that motherboard even though the motherboard mentions no support for it for either ECC RAM or that Xeon on intel's website, yet it works anyway.

 

Another good example would be some of the MSI X58 boards that work with the Xeon X5600 series CPUs even though they don't officially support it. 

Exactly 

Basically i go after what chipset is on the board not what brand it is, the G41 Express chipset itself supports the Q6600 with no problem, the issue you might have though is the OEM cooler you have for the case/cpu.. in my case the cpu is not exceeding 50-55c with a 65w tdp cooler on a 95w tdp cpu..

Of course the g41 chipset supports the Q6600 but some OEM boards doesn't work with high TDP CPUs.

 

I've put a Q6600 on a Q45 chipset (hp dc7900 sff) which doesn't officially support any Q6000 series CPUs but it works just fine. But I've heard that some people have had problems with similar OEM PCs crashing under load or not booting at all.

Well what you need to do is check the model / revision of the cpu you are installing.. SLAC9 q6600 works on 99% of G31-41 chipsets

i would still not count on the chipset supporting it as a 100% guarantee that it will work.
