Hey there, 👋
I'm using an HP 8266 Mainboard with an AMD PRO A6-8570E CPU.
I want to upgrade the CPU but can't find any information about fitting CPUs. The Socket is clear, but which CPUs are Plug & Play? Is there any data sheet for this mainboard?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

@JayLL , welcome to the Community.
What is the Product Number of the computer? I need this information to review the specifications of it. Please don't furnish the Serial # or other personal information. You can find the Product Number at the bottom of the page when you open HP Support Assistant.

Thank you for the additional information, @JayLL!
Here are the Product Specifications for the workstation. If you look at the section titled "Processors" there is a list of compatible processors. Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide. On Page 43 it shows these processors and how to replace them.
