[REQUEST] Acer Aspire 5738(G,Z): CPU Upgrade & Microcode Update

[Pete Mitchell]

Can somebody update cpu microcode to let me use t9400?
Hardware of my acer 5738zg support this cpu but bios allows me to put max t9300

The 5738zg uses a Phoenix bios where as the 5935g donor bios uses an Insyde bios ,

I need another phoenix bios to take the microcode out of!

Thanks

That donor will probably work for 1234s282, assuming the issue is microcode. are there any wattage differences between the T9300 and 9400 that could damage the hardware socket?

No wattage difference...they're exactly same cpu only difference is fsb 800Mhz t9300 and 1066Mhz t9400
Thanks for your interest you're the only one replying

Acer 5739g and acer 5738zg have both PHOENIX BIOSES

[1234s282]
