GA-945GM-S2 - Can I run an Intel E7300

GA-945GM-S2 - Can I run an Intel E7300
« on: July 03, 2010, 01:07:00 pm »
Hi,
My son purchased a GA-945GM-S2 MB and realised too late that it wouldn't run his Intel E7300 cpu. He has since purchased a new AMD board and I now have the GA-945GM and his old E7300 cpu...

Are there any download updates / bios updates etc, out there that will allow me to run this CPU on my board???

Here's hoping!!!

Thanks in advance for any information.   

Cheers :) :) :)

Hi,

There are two revisions of this board and quick check on the Gigabyte site (Check Here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2331&dl=1#ov ) shows that the last BIOS issued for both boards was in 2007.

So I guess there is no update or BIOS fix to allow the E7300 CPU to work on your board and that one won'r be forthcoming.

Sorry about that
