D daffyracers03 New Member Jan 3, 2008 #1 I just want to know if my mobo: GIGABYTE 965P-DS3 WILL SUPPORT the new Q9450 CPU?
P paratwa New Member Jan 3, 2008 #2 On the Gigabyte website it does not list that CPU as being supported. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=2456 I think to run that CPU your going to have to upgrade your motherboard to a x38 or newer chipset. Rumors say that the 965 will run the q9450, but with a bios upgrade, and even then you might have problems. http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3138 Last edited: Jan 4, 2008
