Hello, good afternoon, someone can answer me the following.
My computer is HP-H8-1100Z with Windows 10 Pro
Almost every time I am using it, the cooling fan of the processor is accelara with great frequency. I think that acceleration may be due to the FX-6100 processor
Motherboard Specifications, M3970AM-HP
If my statement is correct, which processor can you replace the FX-6100 ...?
Thank you

@arynadj I'm afraid HP neither recommends nor supports upgrades as the device is equipped with parts that perform at its optimal performance,
although the decision to upgrade will be at your own discretion.
The specifications you've mentioned may or may not work, I personally suggest you get in touch with a local tech who could help you answer the same, and check if the parts work before you can purchase it, to be on a safer side.
I hope that answers your query,
