[REQUEST CPU SUPPORT] HP PRO 3500 G2 [i5-3470 TO i5-3570K]

[Qattos]

Hi everyone

I have an HP PRO 3500 G2 MT which came with an Intel G2030, I updated its microcode to latest to support i5-3470 which I'm using right now, ME version is latest 8.1, and I managed to get an i5-3570K but when I insert it and start the PC, I get CPU unsupported message then PC shuts off, I found out that i5-3470 and i5-3570K share same microcode, so technically it should work, but maybe HP is blocking it somewhere BIOS level.
So that's the best I could do, now I'm seeking help from the experts.
HP PRO 3500 G2 MT Motherboard : H-CUPERTINO-H61-uATX: 4.00
BIOS : AMI 80.03
You can find BIOS backup attached to this thread

N.B. I do have the CH341A programmer.

Thanks in advance.

how could they share same microcode when have even different frequencies?

I'm not an expert, so I really don't know, what I used to do is look for my CPU's CPUID, which in this case is 306A9, it's the same for both CPUs, then look for that ID in here.

Anyway, I already found help here
