Hi community. Is it possible to run a i5 -2400 processor in the above machine with 8gb ram , 1030 or 1050i low profile graphics card?

regards

Q.

those newer GPUs possibly won't work on a motherboard that old.

No, i5-2400 is 1151 socket and the HP 6000 accepts LGA775 socket CPUs. Supports up to 16GB of un-buffered non-ECC DDR3 SDRAM. (4)4GB PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333 MHz) DIMMs.

I "think" it's pci-e 1.0x16. Not sure if those connectors supply enough power for newer graphics cards. And if it could I don't know if the power supply could handle the extra load.

OK. I have too much time on my hands. I found the owner's manual (https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-compaq-6000-pro-microtower-pc/4023814/model/4023815/document/c01865757), the parts and service manual (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01883660)

all of which tells me it has the Intel Q43 express chipset which means here are the processors it support s (for socket 775): http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/Q43_Express.html

the i5-2400 does not appear to be one of them...

but here's another list--https://www.delidded.com/lga-771-775-cpus/ with current used prices for the various CPUs
