Hello, I have a Joshua-H61-uATX Motherboard. (It's an HP P6-2260ea PC)

I'm thinking of Upgrading my i3 2120 to a i5 3470 (Sandy-Bridge to Ivy-Bridge)
I know my motherboard supports it, but will I need a BIOS Update
I can not find a BIOS update ANYWHERE.
Thanks.

Also, Bios Version is: AMI 7.11 28/04/2012

You don't need a BIOS update.

 

When it is stated that a CPU is supported in the motherboard specifications document it means that BIOS support is already present.

Negative. Its not true. I have Exact same issue. I bought i7 2600k sandy (95w) for this board and I get the mesage at start "unsupported cpu. shutting down in a few seconds." I've checked everywhere in the interweb universe and everything says its 100% compatible. The problem is HP as they REFUSE to add cpu support for you're little custom ami bios rom.  Now, the way I see it, you guys should give the microcode support, or patch my bios with special anti gayness, or buy this cpu I just bought that you guys, and foxconn claim is supported by everything...(Content removed by Moderator)
How you guys feeling about that?

Добрый день. У меня компьютер P6-235er. Системная  плата  Joshua-H61-uATX. Поменял CPU на intel  Core i5 2500K. Выдает ошибку при загрузке "unsupported cpu. shutting down in a few seconds". И выключается, через несколько секунд. Подскажите, процессор  intel  Core i5 2500K не поддерживается данной материнской платой? Просьба ответить, есть ли возможность исправить програмно, чтобы не выдавал более такую ошибку. А то не удобно постоянно нажимать клавишу F1. Спасибо. Жду ответа.

It is usually best if you source an Intel processor with the HP part number.

Well that would certainly explain the unsupported error message.

Хорошо. А возможно ли отключить проверку в bios, что компьютер не выключался? Потому что, если нажать клавишу F1, загрузка проходит без проблем. И компьютер фунционирует хорошо.
