can you just use one CPU to start
390842
Yes, but you will only have access to the RAM in the slots allocated for that CPU.
390843
yup, that's actually what I ended up doing. I have two of these, one as a vmware esxi box and the other is my lab machine with one cpu that im currently testing Joyent SmartOS on. This motherboard is a beast, you'll be very happy if you end up buying it
390844
Yes. But you must provide CPU power to both CPUs (EATX12V1 and EATX12V2), even though CPU #2 is not installed. I ended up having to purchase a power supply that had 2 EATX connectors. Page 2.34 is a bit vague.
390845
Yes you can. You can use just one of the listed supported CPU's. If you're having issues with a certain CPU you may need the BIOS upgraded, or buy a BIOS chip with the upgraded BIOS needed for the processor you're using.
390846
Yes. It will disable half of the ram slots tho. Shouldn't be an issue unless you need idiotic amounts of ram. You can find an e5-1620 for under 300 if you shop around,
390847
Sure. Just be careful to read the manual and place your memory and PCI cards in the correct slots. If you use just one CPU, you must use the first CPU. I do this on several servers so that if I need extra capacity I can always add a CPU and memory. For a CPU fan, use the Dynatron R17 2 Ball Bearing CPU Cooler Heatpipes, (www.Directron.com Part Number: COOL-R17). It fits perfectly and performs well.

no problems at all. most of the newer cpu's and gpu's don't require as much power as some of the older stuff, so you'll have plenty of overhead.

I didnt yet. Only my laptop so far. Im sure you can. Its such a good program that even if they only gave you one load one computer, it would dtill be worth it. Im sure you can load on both.

yes you can but i would recommend something in the fx 4xxx or fx 6xxx range, but if you just need a cheap processor and not doing heavy gaming it will work just fine.

You may not need it, it depends how old is your MoBo. If you have to go to - follow manufacturer guide. If you replaced CPU by new one - reset CMOS.

Yes you can. The motherbord has an AM3+ socket and the core socket is AM3+. Is a really good cpu tho

No desktop class CPU can run without heatsink/fan. At the very least, use the stock heatsink that comes with the boxed CPU.

Yes, and you will only require one KB and Mouse. Its pretty slick once its up and running. I love mine.

Its a dual core processor, but you have to set that preference in the bios.
1848865
should run with relative ease. the four cores includes hyperthreading but it should still be plenty enough cpu power

It does work with one processor. According to the qualified vendor list, it also supports the k4000 series cards.

There is a single quad-core processor. This basically means 4 processors on a single chip so you can easily run multiple tasks at once and video and games will run smoothly.

Sorry about that ! You could run install but it will only register on one computer. They nail you over $200.0 for a two computer software.
1223645
I believe it is only supposed to be used by itself. The cpu will not allow another device to be programmed.

Unfortunately ... NO.What Amazon sells is TEMPre 1.0Also, I downlodaded the software - mentioned elsewhere and it only works with 2.0 units and above.Thus to use more than one, you need multiple PC's.With that in mind they are great tools.ed
1868431
No, this is basically a 4 physical core processor, whcih you already have. Only certain software will take advantage of the additional "cores".

Yes you can, HOWEVER it may require some adjustments to video settings in the BIOS for certain setups. So bear that in mind if you have trouble getting the system to boot after installing it. I ran into this little problem myself, but its easily fixed.
