My father purchased this computer in August of last year just before the Intel Broadwell Socket 1150 chips (i7 5775C and i5 5675C). This HP computer contains a Z97 chipset which should have support for both of these chips with a BIOS update. However, I have not seen any such BIOS update released from HP other than the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI which I can't get to run on his computer. Will it be safe to drop in one of these processors without a BIOS update and sucessfully run the chip? Thank you.

Greetings,
I don't believe the Broadwell chip will work on this PC without BIOS support from HP.
There is a BIOS update available from HP under Win 8.1 (sp71809.exe). There is no HP documentation included indicating this BIOS update adds support for Broadwell.
Cheers!
