Hi guy's. There have been a lot of people asking recently about if their 965P DS3/DS3P etc will work with a E8200/8400/8500 cpu. As nobody really knew the answer i emailed Gigabyte yesterday to see what they said. Here is their answer:-
So there is a beta bios for these boards but no official support. On top of that it looks like Intel did'nt design the Wolfdales to work on 9 series chipset's. So you can either try it to see if it works or just buy a new mobo along with the cpu. If i can find the beta bios (they did'nt provide me with a link) i will add it later.
This CPU is more suitable for X38/ P35 chipsets.
There is a BETA BIOS F6g to enable 45nm CPU with non official support, due to Intel having no official guarantee for 45nm CPUs on non-3 series chipsets.
