    Any possible way to add 45nm cpu microcodes to shuttles bios?

    Well i've one of SD37P2 V2 shuttles which support 65nm C2Ds and C2Qs. Well it has x975 chipset and fsb max is 355fsb, so i'd like to have the cpu upgraded to E8400 etc, but bios don't have support for it (well cpus might work w/o bios update tho).

    Link to bios files:

    I really don't see a reason why newer cpus couldn't work on that HW, i965 asus boards support every released lga775 there is made.

    Seems to be a AWARD BIOS, so try the latest version of CBROM and see if you can insert new microcodes.

    But besides that there could be electrical problems too with those 45nm CPUs. Could be that the BIOS alone is not enough to make the new CPUs work correctly.
