Well I dont really know much about the quad cores I am used to dual cores also from experiance some of my friends tried switching the default dual core heatsinks to their quad cores and it fried their processors because of too much heat. I recommend a high quality one which supports quad cores. Lastly if the Mobo isnt made to support the quad core it probably wont boot the computer anyways because it has to be the same slot type. Anyways good luck!!!
Hey, I just got a 9950 Black Edition to switch out my dual core 6000 for.The MB does accept a Phenom.Can I just remove heat sink and switch them or do I also need to make changes in bios or cmos? Please help.Thanks!!
