hi
google is a search engine, so even if it's not the problem, it's not an exact science!
Everything will depend on the model of the computer/motherboard!
So, without the computer model, difficult to answer, precisely
At hp, you have a specific motherboard model!
it mentions some compatible processors!
normally if the processor is in the list, updating the bios is not necessarily useful!
If the processor is not on the list, either it will work, if close enough to what is compatible
either it will not work, and there it may actually not be a bios update, to fix this
If a bios update is available, this will also not guarantee the operation of an unsupported processor.
HP updates, very very rarely mentions adding a processor
[edit]
good example here with Tampa2 motherboard
first :
- TDP: up to 95 W
- Socket type: LGA 1151
Processor | TDP | Integrated Graphics |
Intel Core i7-8700K (Coffeelake) 3.7 GHz, Hexa Core | 95 W | Integrated HD Graphics 630 |
Intel Core i7-8700 (Coffeelake) 3.7 GHz, Hexa Core | 65 W | Integrated HD Graphics 630 |
Intel Core i5-8400 (Coffeelake) 2.8 GHz, Hexa Core | 65 W | Integrated HD Graphics 630 |
Intel Core i5-8600K (Coffeelake) 3.6 GHz, Hexa Core | 95 W | Integrated UHD Graphics 630 |
and
- TDP: up to 95 W
- Socket type: LGA 1151
- Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:ProcessorTDPIntegrated GraphicsIntel Core i7-9700K (Coffee Lake R) 3.6 GHz, Octa Core95 WIntel UHD Graphics 630Intel Core i7-8700K (Coffee Lake) 3.7 GHz, Hexa Core95 WIntel UHD Graphics 630Intel Core i7-8700 (Coffee Lake) 3.2 GHz, Hexa Core65 WIntel UHD Graphics 630Intel Core i7-8600K (Coffee Lake) 3.7 GHz, Hexa Core95 WIntel UHD Graphics 630Intel Core i5-8400 (Coffee Lake) 2.8 GHz, Hexa Core65 WIntel UHD Graphics 630
