How to fix "1801-Microcode Update Error" in HP tower desktop Compaq dc7800

Yes.

Actually, according to the specs, it only needs a 300 W P/S.

Looking at that monster, I assumed it needed a PCIe power plug and at least a 500W power supply!

Clearly if it works in the dc7800 then it doesn't need any supplementary power.

Indeed.

I have now installed the new cpu and here is the differnce in performance.

The single core performance has slightly went down but an extrea 2 cores shown a good boost in multi tasking but gaming performance has gone down 1 or 2 frames due to low single core speed. No doubt the graphic card is the bottle neck of this system now.

Wow.

The multicore score sure went up.

Yep, the memory bottleneck and graphics adapter are probably holding the PC back.
