Can my P5S-MX SE motherboard go with Intel E5400 pentium dual core 2.7 ghz?

The motherboard for the dc7600 has an Intel LGA775 processor socket. However, not all LGA775 processors are compatible with the motherboard. For the small form factor, the following CPUs are supported: Intel Celeron D Processors:
Intel Celeron D 331 Processor (2.66-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 336 Processor (2.80-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 346 Processor (3.06-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium 4 Processors with HT Technology:
Intel Pentium 4 521 Processor (2.8-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 524 Processor (3.06-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 541 Processor (3.2-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 620 Processor (2.8-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 630 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 631 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 640 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 641 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 650 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 651 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 661 Processor (3.6-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) or
Intel Pentium D Dual Core Processors:
Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor (2.66-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 820 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 915 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 930 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 940 Dual Core Processor (3.2-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 945 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 950 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

Unfortunately, these are old processors and I don't see any available new. Newegg.com lists a couple available as refurbished. You may be better off getting a new computer with either a Intel I3 or current AMD processor.

I wish that I had better news for you.

(do not attempt to use a CPU that your motherboard doesn't support. It probably won't boot.)

No, it doesn't, see here
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/p4-series/comparison_p4-series.jsp

I don't see why it wouldn't. Here is the drivers and a CPU support list.

Compatible with Intel 05B/05A and 04B/04A processors

You can also use any other intel 775 socket processor as well. The dual cores are at the top of the list for performance that are compatible with that board, but if you're looking for a cheaper solution, I have that board with a 3GHz pentium 4 and it runs great. Here's a list of all the processors you can use.
Intel Pentium 4 (2.66 - 3.80 GHz)
Intel Celeron D (2.53 - 3.60 GHz )
Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition
(3.20 - 3.73 GHz)
Intel Pentium D (2.66 - 3.60 GHz)
Intel Pentium Extreme Edition
(3.20 - 3.73 GHz)
Pentium Dual-Core (1.40 - 2.80 GHz)
Intel Core 2 Duo (1.60 - 3.33 GHz)
Intel Core 2 Extreme (2.66 - 3.20 GHz)
Intel Core 2 Quad (2.33 - 3.00 GHz)
Intel Xeon (1.86-3.40 GHz)
Intel 'Core' Celeron (1.60 - 2.40 GHz)

it is not properly support 3 ghz
thanks

Asus list supported CPU's for your P5S-MX SE Mb.

The further down you go the stronger the CPU.
When looking for the CPU that you want, you'll also need the bios version listed across from that CPU.

The next link will list everything pertaining to your Asus board.
Look to the left for more information like FAQ, supported CPU & Forms.
(For the link below to fulley open, you'll need to choose your operating system from the drop down menu & click Search in order for the driver link to load);

Use the manual to help you. (Download it needed).
BIOS 0306 is the latest revision & supports the newer CPU's.
Pentium Dual Core E2220(2.4GHz,800FSB,L2 1MB,M0).

Ok no problem I can help you there. First you want Intel or AMD. I would take Intel. Then you want Core Duo or Core 2 Duo, I'd take Intel Core 2 Duo, then you need to find out the Frontside Bus Speed of your motherboard, it has to match the CPU. So let's say its 1,066MHz. And you want something faster than 1.8 so go with 2.4GHz. So now we looking for a Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4GHz, 1066MHz bus speed with stock cooler. So then go to www.intel.com, in their search box type "Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz" and it will bring up all the CPU's and their prices..if you have any questions let me know. Pls rate this solution.

follow the link for the audio driver.

Let me know if it helps.

If you using onboard graphics them i could be a problem of shared memory, you can alter this in the bios

kind regards and please don't forget to rate us

try putting nvidia 9800 video card, that shoud solve your problem.. and check the game requirements if it runs on 512 or 1gig.. tnx tell me if goes well..
