June 11, 201312 yr Got the MOBO and CPU 4 years ago. Would like to boost the CPU but am unsure what newer CPUs I can run in this MOBO. Current CPU a i7920 Bloomfield 2.6 o/c to 3.8. The MOBO is the 1366 socket. Cheers.
June 11, 201312 yr You would only be able to use a 920, 930, 950, 960, etc. (four core i7 9XX) You maybe able to use an extreme like a 980X (six core), but it depends on the BIOS loaded in the board. You would need to contact EVGA to find out. You also maybe able to flash a new BIOS if the board does not have the correct BIOS, if EVGA put out a new one after the board was built.
