Hi,
Newer Intel CPUs are LGA 115x socket or 1200 socket compatible. AMD uses a PGA array on the CPU.
Your MB is a socket 1366. It supports the following processors:
- Intel Xeon X5570, 2.93 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1333 MHz Memory, 6.4 GT/s QPI, 95W
- Intel Xeon X5560, 2.80 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1333 MHz Memory, 6.4 GT/s QPI, 95W
- Intel Xeon X5550, 2.66 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1333 MHz Memory, 6.4 GT/s QPI, 95W
- Intel Xeon E5540, 2.53 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1066 MHz Memory, 5.86 GT/s QPI, 80W
- Intel Xeon E5530, 2.40 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1066 MHz Memory, 5.86 GT/s QPI, 80W
- Intel Xeon E5520, 2.26 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1066 MHz Memory, 5.86 GT/s QPI, 80W
- Intel Xeon E5506, 2.13 GHz, 4 MB cache, 800 MHz Memory, 4.8 GT/s QPI, 80W
- Intel Xeon E5504, 2.00 GHz, 4 MB cache, 800 MHz Memory, 4.8 GT/s QPI, 80W
- Intel Xeon W5580, 3.20 GHz, 8MB L3, 1333 MHz Memory, 130W

Hi,
I forgot about the Intel extreme series.
The above CPU list is from the HP Support site for your PC. HP may have to provide a BIOS update to use a CPU that is not on the list in my first response. The 990x will fit but the BIOS may not see this CPU.
Did you check to see if there is a BIOS update which provides additional processor support?
Regards
