Hello,
I have an asus p5k motherboard and I wanted to put an Intel E8500 on it but the problem is that i don't know if its compatible with the motherboard I have actually. From what I have heard I need to flash the bios but how do I do that if I don't have a floppy? I have seen on asus web site that I need to do that from the floppy.

Hello,

Yes, u can put an Intel E8500 CPU on ur P5K MB.

To know if u need to flash the Bios tell the current Bios revision u can find during the Bios boot up http://support.asus.com/technicaldocuments/technicaldocuments.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&root=252

If ur Bios revsion is 803 or more u don't need
