I have been using my backup system for a while and decided to upgrade it from a core 2 quad q6600 to a q9505 since it was only 18$ on ebay. Got the CPU, it looks great, put it in fine and i'm posting this from that machine. When I go to task manager it's running at 2.4ghz, then I look over and it says Q6600.
Checked the bios and it doesn't show anything where you would normally see the model. Now when it restarts Windows shows up and doesn't load in. Going to swap back and see what happens.
Possible the board just doesn't support it? Thought if the socket was right you are fine
