Hello everyone, is my PCI card seated properly? (I am scared that it isn't because it shows a teeny tiny bit of gold thing and I think it is okayly seated) (check imgur link). Thanks!

If there are no problems then just leave it alone.

Okay, thanks! I think it is okay, when I put my new CPU in I will test it out (CPU is shipping still)

New build?

Be absolutely sure to carefully read the motherboard's User Guide/Manual along with the documentation for all other components to be installed.

Ensure that all components are indeed supported.

Pay close attention to all fine print and warnings.

Do not rush or force anything.

Take your time, work carefully.

Thank You. But this is not a new build, I am just adding upgrades to my old 2007 PC. I am adding the Q9450, old CPU being the E6750, and I am adding a new cooler. Unfortunately I have no manual but I have the manufacturers Website so I can install it from there and read it on my laptop, also I am very stressed of a person so I hope I did not mess anything up (I only calculated lenghts of the mobo with a ruler and spacing whilst the pc was completely off so I hope nothing is wrong! I hope everything goes good!

Thanks, but I already ordered this and I wanted everything to fit in my price range since in Croatia if u pass 150 Kuna (20 euros something like that) you have to pay taxes, extra shipping fees and customs in Croatia, that is why I did not go with that Xeon and in the CPU support list I do not see that it supports it

OH okay, thank You! Is there any chance to bend the CPU pins on lga775?

triplex1 · 2024-08-04T15:41:12-0400

What code does your gigabyte motherboard have?
the pins are on mb and not on cpu in 775 systems

e5450 vs q9450

1.the e5450 has a much lower consumption than what you expect to come

2.very good motherboard, almost like the one I had , the p5q deluxe 6-7 years ago, I sold it together with the cooler thermalright 120extreme and 8 gigabytes of memory and it still works with the xeon fixed at 3.6Ghz

Well I already ordered it, but u are right, I just did not know I can mod it. The Mobo I have is kind of different because, well, do you know like the Text on the motherboard that you have, for example "FSB1333" and "Dual BIOS" well some text here is changed and I think revision is the same and performance and all just sometimes the text is different maybe because it varies from country or continent? I don't know, but the cooler I got is the AIGO ICE200PRO and the Arctic MX-6 paste!

Where did I see the specific one in the ali for 9 euros , for your motherboard I have the bios mod you needed (I have most of them stored on a hard drive because in those years I made such systems , the 9450 where did you buy it?
mx-4 '19

New build, upgrade, repair/replacement: you must still carefully read all documentation and doublecheck everything.

Actually even more so because there is lots of vague and/or misleading information presented.

And documentation often contains "cut and paste" errors that make it all worse.

Details matter.

Q9450 I got it from AliExpress, store is SZ-CPU STORE (it had a great rating and price was 9 USD) , the MX-6 i got it from Links.hr (Croatian webstore) the BIOS mod, well, you could send it if I will do that in the future!

Yes. I checked everything. Compatibility, i measured sizes, the cooler I saw its for LGA775 so I am good. I asked around, I think everything will work!

mod bios working only with xeon and not with q9450.

Very good!

I know I know, but if I ever try that in the future it's so I have it on my old HDD that has rare old software

Until you assemble the entire system, DO NOT power it on! Passing along, just in case.
