@srichit , welcome to the forum.

 

HP has their motherboards made to their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as a retail board.  Each motherboard is used in many different models with many different specifications.  The motherboards are made to work within that model and configuration.  Therefore, the only processors that have been fully tested to be compatible with your motherboard are the ones in the section titled "Processor upgrade information".  Any other processor will most likely not work.
