I've been trying to figure out if there was anyway to get a Dell Optiplex gx620 to use core 2 duo processors. I found a CPU mod that might be able to get it to work, short out a few pins on the conroe processor and apparently its possible to run it on VRM 10.1 , the shorted out pins set the correct voltage and tricks the cpu into thinking its running on vrm 11. Does anyone know about this mod? Have a picture of the mod below.
So I am wondering if you add conroe microcode and add the conroe processors to the gx620 bios, should this computer successfully be able to boot with a conroe processor? I am not sure how successful this mod works, and if it works on any VRM 10.1 computer if you add conroe processors to the bios. I do know the chipset in this computer is compatible with conroe processors.
