Please could you advise me if i can get a compatable dual core proccesor for my Foxconn 661M03-G motherboard Motherboard ID 05/26/2006-SiS-661-6A7I4FK9C-00 please would you recomend a proccesor that will fit and work properly , thanks chris

Possible overheating. Have you tried changing the CPU thermal paste and cleaning the heatsink and fan?

The Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H motherboard has a LGA 775 Socket. It will support Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme, and Core 2 Duo processors with an FSB of 1066 (800MHz). Thus is should support the dual core 775 processors. (Some Pentium 4, Pentium D and Celeron D CPUs may also be compatible with the board.)

I hope this helps.

Hi David,
According to various websites the FOXCONN 661M08-FX-6LS does not support dual core processors. You can however confirm this by physically installing the processor & testing it. If it is not compatible you will either see a message on the screen confirming this or you will have no display at all. It will not damage your motherboard or CPU if it's not compatible.

Best wishes,

do you hear any bios beeps at all? is the cpu fan running? and make sure you got the power coming from the power button hooked into the right header on the mobo

Yes. This motherboard can work with the Intel Pentium Dual Core 2M/800 E5200 (2.5G) processor.
Below is a link to a page that lists the specs for this motherboard:

Return the motherboard to the place where you bought it, and have them explain the differences that you have observed.

Are there any wires running from the FireWire port on the front of your computer's case to any connector on your motherboard?

Make sure the BIOS settings are correct for the microproc and also make sure the motherboard supports a dual core processor.

It doesnt appear that this board can have a dual core chip. it sounds like youll need upgrade your board to get a faster chip.

Please follow this link and download the manual.

Don't be surprise that the manual name is 662M03, it is still the right manual becuase is made for both type of motherboards.
