HP Z800 CPU overview

That would make it a version 1.

Ok really and what CPU can i instal in this machine?

[Wilmiloard]

The basics  BIOS is updated to the latest version is this possible for upgrade the CPU?

[Wilmiloard]

And can i upgrade the CPU from the Bios?

[Hiatus]

All compatible CPU's are listed in the QuickSpecs. I think the first one I linked would match your board.

Dude.

Really?!

The CPU is a piece of hardware. You get it in a box and you physically fit it to your motherboard, It's not a software update that can be downloaded... You replace your old one with a new one. You can't upgrade your existing CPU.

Just the same way you can't download more RAM or a better graphic card.

Are you sure your'e up for the task of building a computer?
I think you need to get familiar with the basics and maybe start with something a bit easier than a workstation filled with  proprietary hardware.

You need specific hardware or some specific knowledge to get it working and even though I'm a helpful guy, I won't be here to help you every step of the way.

I mean. Don't get me wrong, It's always a good thing when someone wants to build a computer. But your last question kind of makes me doubt if your'e going to be able to get it working.

Youv'e got a long way to go if you wonder if the CPU could be upgraded in the BIOS.

Edit: Are you talking about overclocking? In that case, the answer is also no. HP Z800 does not support overclocking.

I have this interesting quastions , because i have reade abbout the Bios updates but cannot find what for Updates are in detail are better.

I understand youre point but in the futur i would buy a motherboard for CPU,s 56xx series.:)

This is pretty complicated, but I'll try to give you the "farmers explanation" here.
The BIOS in your Z800 v1  is basically the same as in the Z800 v2. It contains different instructions to allow the computer's different hardware to work together.

The BIOS contains two different sets of main instructions. One part is set in stone and can not be changed or updated. This part contains the list of compatible hardware (including CPU's) and lots of other information about how the hardware is supposed to run. Max temperatures, watts, compatible memory and so on.

The other part is the one that can be updated.

It contains firmware for non OS-dependant internal hardware (soundcard, network etc.). The BIOS updates generally does not open up to any hardware upgrades, But they generally make the system run smoother with less bugs, since bugs get corrected in the updates...

Agree that the OP should get a computer shop involved. 

Clarification on the concept you just presented.... there are BIOS updates that include microcode updates and also ones that don't.  There even have been rare microcode updates that don't include a BIOS update in the conventional sense.  Whether a specific microcode update is included with a specific BIOS update has never been clearly stated by HP.  The microcode updates generally add in new HP-approved processors to the white list in the microcode section of BIOS.  Hence, if you want to run the latest approved processors you should install the latest BIOS update and expect to get the latest microcode update with that.  Once a processor is added to the white list I have never heard that it is removed.

As always, you should update BIOS from within BIOS to avoid issues to the highest degree.  That has been discussed in here, about how to do that, and how W10 is especially a risky environment to update BIOS from within.

The OP should hire all this out....

And for the Z800 with 1110 W power supply?

Ok, so this is a followup on a question from a seperate thread. (For those of you who are not following this in real time...)

According to the QuickSpecs, which I still suggest you read, the most powerful graphic card specified is the nVidia Quadro 6000.
It has a maximum power consumption of 204w and require the 1110w power supply.

This took me about ten minutes to find out. All the information is on the HP support page.
Do your research!
