changing cpu?

Question

can you change a amd cpu for a different cpu like intel

Answer 1

All wrong so far. Most motherboards will allow you to use both AMD and Intel based CPUs. The difference that you need to watch for are the voltage settings, and the maximum/minimum that the motherboard will work with. Most of the time you can get this information from the manufactures site who made the motherboard. Clock speeds are also something important, but not necessarily restrictive as many use overclocking to make their computers run faster using slower chips. Many older boards had switches and jumpers that you could change to configure different CPUs to work. Most of the newer boards have variable BIOSes that will determine which chip is installed and make those changes for you. The socket is only one restriction, others are on a per board bias. Check with the motherboard manufacturer to see what your board will support. Hope this helps

Answer 2

No. The socket on the motherboard is different for AMD than it is for Intel CPUs

Answer 3

nope, the socket for both the processor if different. For intel there is two type of board for Pc such as soc 478 and 775. for amd it has s754 and s940. from the name u can see the diff. u can only can't use the processor but ram,hd, internal cards can be used.

Answer 4

there is no longer something u prefer you only prefer a small volume of thermal gel with reference to the size of a 5p or smaller that is going on precise of the CPU in the past u place the warmth sink on precise (u could do away with the old Thermo gel in the past u positioned the hot gel on)

Answer 5

u could.as long as ur new procesor has the same socket as the last one,otherwize it wouldnt be compatible with ur mainboard
