cpu upgrade socket 775

[Martin_71]

First of all hello .Atm i have a pentium E5400 overclocked to 3.1ghz and i want to do an upgrade at the moment i can pick up a xeon 5335 a server cpu quad with a sticker and removing the notches on the motherboard it will fit.
my question is is it worth the upgrade? i can get the xeon for less then 10$
also my mb is: http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/g41m-vs3/
i can not seem to find what is the max power that the mb supports for the cpu the xeon uses around the 15-20 watts more but dont know the limit of the motherboard but i saw on some forums that is around 130 but not sure :$

The Xeon is not supported.

It's especially not supported as the Xeon is a different socket........

as i said the socket of the xeon is 771 socket with cutting the notches on the mb the xeon can fit with the sticker on him 771 to 775 there are a lot of those scenarios

Can you write ( or find ) a custom BIOS for that board? If not it's not going to work.

Most 775 boards will not support 771 CPUs, even with an adapter sticker. I've tried with several over the years. Best to buy a CPU that works with your board.
