Will it work?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have tried other forums but they do not give me access to add a new thread :doh:

 

So i was wondering if someone could tell me if this motherboard will support a core 2 quad q6600?

'Kentsfield'
Kentsfield is the Intel code name for the Core 2 Quad CPUs. So Kentsfield = C2Q.

So it looks like that Asrock 4Core Dual mb will support a C2Q 6600.

If you're trying to keep your DDR RAM and AGP video card this might work for you.

Google turned up some reviews of the board - 1 using Q6700 and 1 E6300:

It seems a little bit like dropping a Porsche engine into a Mini body.

You can do it - but are you sure its a good idea?

Be sure to carefully check ALL the items you want to move over to make sure they will work together.
