[SOLVED] CPU compatibility

[Tjelsa22]

I have HP Compaq 6005 Pro Sff
Running with 6GB DDR3

The question is, is it possible to replace the built in CPU (AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 B24 Processor, 3000 Mhz,) to AMD Athlon 200GE?

I don't want to damage my system that's why I didn't try to put my 200ge.
Respect my post. Thanks. Have a good day.

No, the HP Compaq 6005 Pro Sff has a different CPU socket and uses DDR3 instead of DDR4 which the 200GE uses. But if you still wanna upgrade, buy a cheap A320 motherboard preferrably an A320m A Pro and 2x 4gb DDR4 2666mhz if possible 3000 or 3200mhz, and a HDMI Cable and a cheap M-ATX case.

I would not be surprised if the psu in a HP SFF uses proprietary connectors meaning it won’t connect to standard motherboards. You will basically end up building a new pc.

Exactly, theoretically if you build a 200ge System, a PSU that is 500w is too much, but is good if you will be doing a GPU upgrade in the future.

The CV550 or other is a good enough PSU.

While 550w gives headroom for the future the CV range are low quality units and not ideal for gaming systems. However this pc may not be for gaming and the OP may not need/want a gpu. In which case Is pick a better quality 450w

How about the EVGA 450 80 + White?
This is good enough for the 200GE

It’s about the same. A Corsair CX450 is about the minimum quality wise I’d recommend but there are other choices. However this is all irrelevant if the OP does not want to build a new system.

Thanks for all the feedback. Actually I'm building my a new computer with Athlon. I already have a set. I ended up burning my motherboard. I don't know what really happen but the side of my A320m is burned. That's my last money since payout. I need to prepare also my school pc since we are allowed to study virtually. (Online class setup).

That's why I'm confuse if I can use it. Maybe I'll skip with my class SAD. I need to wait till payout again to buy a cheap a320m
