HP DC7700 Q6600 Support

[chris89]

Hi, I saw someone here with a DC7700 Convertible mini tower with a q6600 working.  The board is different yet its the same bios as the Small Form Factor DC7700.  Can you provide old bios or add microcode for q6600?  Maybe it will work as I have yet to try it.  Usually posts giving not supported error.

This link was said to contain an HP Bios Utility to add support, yet its no longer available.  Any word on this HP Bios utility?

For HP Inc. PC products you should visit the HP forum (www.hp.com), since this is HPE - not supporting HP products.

Thanks.  I just tested the cpu on v1.16 bios and posted and showed f10 to bios etc... counted memory quantity and gave error 1802 processor not supported.  Maybe I need old bios or the microcode update alone... thx

Maybe this thread?

As said, a different forum now.
