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!

That BIOS update came out after Broadwell was released and other motherboard manufacturers included support (06/01/15) for Broadwell.  I'll apply it and hope support is in there.  Thanks.
