Hello, I currently have a P7H55-M LE asus with an i3 540 on it, I would like to know what would be the best processor I can put on at the lowest possible price, for its I have only 9€, it is possible to have a cpu in this price range? the xeon are compatible with this motherboard? thanks for your answers

and do you have any solutions other than reinstall windows for my i3? it is recognized as having 1 core and 2 threads: ||

Try an X3440  4 cores 8 threads.  Very cheap.

I just saw, the prices are around 20€, so I'll see later, the thing that annoys me is the i3 recognized as a 1 core 2 threads, you have a solution other than reinstall windows for it?

 X3440 is basically an underclocked i7-860, It will work with this board.

Not according to the manufacturer.

... Again, the motherboard does not support it.

According to Asus the,  P7H55-M  or  P7H55-M Pro don't support it either but when you actually take a look around the internet there is countless videos, articles and benchmarking results to show otherwise.

 

It isn't hard to believe that Intel would not list enterprise chips on their consumer motherboard QVL.
