Hi yall, I have a Z440 with a Xeon E5-1603 v3 that I'm looking to upgrade to something in the E5-26XX v4 range. Is it as simple as swapping in the new CPU or will I have to get down and dirty with my BIOS firmware, or something else entirely? Thanks in advance.

@Trash_Collector,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Looking through HP Z440 Workstation User benchmarks here: UserBenchmark: HP Z440 Workstation Compatible Components, it appears to me just like you said that it is simply a matter of swapping your Xeon E5-1603 v3 with a Xeon E5-2698 v4, E5-2697 v4, E5-2696 v4, E5-2690 v4, etc.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
