Ok so I have this really outdated HP Pavillion running a e5300 at 2.6 ghz looking to give it more spice so it could play esports type games with ease. I was wondering if I could upgrade my CPU to the q9650 but I was wondering if the extreme edition to that cpu (qx9650) was compatable, or even the Pentium Extreme 955.

-My bios is the most updated (5.43)
-Is the motherboard even capable of giving a cpu enough power?
-If you did an upgrade like that what would you reccomend?
 
Solution
their are more versions of that motherboard... I also have IPIBL-LB, but it is different from yours. My latest BIOs is 5.37 and it only supports Q9650 95W CPUs not high power QX9650 ones... you must search it by your computer HP name and in HP website you will find all the information... i think you can not use more than 95W CPUs... search it like> HP "model" drivers/specs on google... you can also run 771 Xeons in it...
