Can an HP 802F Motherboard run an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU?

Hello! I was looking to upgrade my CPU with the AMD one I have in my old PC, but I can't find almost any information about this motherboard online. Would it be possible for me to use it? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I haven't swapped out many parts on my own

@juniperrr,

The HP Z240 Tower was one of my HP legacy upgrade projects and is still in use by my daughter as a gaming platform, fitted with a lower-power (but high-performance) Xeon E3-1280 v6 (4-Cores, 8-Threads, 3.90 GHz up to 4.20 GHz, 72-watt TDP), which you can purchase for just $65 via this eBay Seller: Intel SR325 Xeon E3-1280V6 3.9GHz Quad Core Processor*km | eBay.

The best gaming processor for your HP Z240 Tower would be the Intel Core i7-7700K (4-Cores, 8-Threads, 4.20 GHz up to 4.50 GHz, 91-watt TDP), which you can buy for less than $70, such as via this eBay Seller: Intel Core i7-7700K SR33A 4.2GHz 4-Core LGA 1151 Desktop CPU Processor | eBay.

Kind Regards,
