[Request] Adding 7th Gen CPU support to HP ProDesk 400 G3 (MS-7957)

[ngocthienta]

Hi, I have some HP ProDesk 400 G3 (without CPU) lying around and I'm planning to buy some cheap LGA1151 CPUs to make them work again. However, the cheapest CPU that I could find is Celeron G3930, which belongs to the Kaby Lake generation and is not natively supported by my HP machine. I've personally tried to boot it up with an i3-7100 to no avail, but an i5-6500 works just fine. Can anybody help me to make a Kaby Lake mod for this HP (the motherboard model is MS-7957)? I already have a CH341A at hand. Thanks in advance.

Install supported CPU and make a screenshot of Mainboard tab of CPU-Z.

There is no simple way to add support of Kaby Lake to this system.
Try to find ES CPU with Kaby Lake core. It has CPUID=0x506E8

Greetings Forum,

I was referred to your forum as a potential solution for helping me modding the BIOS of my system to support coffee lake CPUs.

I bought one recently (i5-9400F) and I would like to add it to my system as my i5-6500 does not seem to push the GTX 1650 to its full potential.

I understand this might not be possible but, if someone knows, it will be you.

Thank you!

Sorry about the late response. I tried to upload the images but the attachment feature does not work.

No screenshots - no help.
