[REQUEST] HP dc7600 CMT BIOS Modding for C2D E7400 Support

[HPsucksWHY]

Hi everyone! I have a HP Compaq dc7600 CMT. Currently it has a Pentium 4 521, 1GB of DDR2, and a 500GB HDD. I wanna upgrade it to something from the Core 2 era as the chipset (945G Express) supports it. I know the VRMs might not support C2Ds and C2Qs, but this can be solved with a pin mod to bypass the VRM checking. However, HP's BIOS does not have the microcode for Conroe, Allendale nor Wolfdale. I have absolutely no idea how to mod the BIOS, and I hope someone here can help me mod it to support C2Ds. 



P.S I have a random C2D E7400 so I would like to use that. 

It won't let me upload the latest BIOS, so please download from here and choose 768D1:

Post a screenshot of Mainboard tab of CPU-Z with supported CPU.
Explain exactly what happens when you try to boot with VRM pin mod & E7400.

Well, to even POST, the BIOS needs the microcode, which is why i needed a modded bios.

No, you are wrong.
BTW: adding microcode doesn't add support for new CPUs.

So how would i add support for new cpus? Il try the pin mod i guess.

At first make VRM pin mod and try to boot with Conroe (65-nm).
FSB=800 MHz is recommended.
