Here is the support page for the  HP Compaq 6005 Pro Microtower

https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c01864941

The listed AMD Phenom II Quad-Core Processors are the only ones supported. I did find elsewhere that the Phenom II X4 945 will work if you have the 786G6 bios version 1.17 Rev A. 

This is fairly old PC with Vista and WinXP listed as the Windows OS.
