Hi,

Can I do a straight swap of CPU from i3 7100 to i3 8100 on the old 280?

I've tried but the cpu cooler fan spins up and then nothing.

Do I need to adjust the Bios in some way?

Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks

the 8100 is a generation 8 CPU and not compatible with your system.
