Hi
Dell does not offer processor or motherboard upgrades for purchase as discrete items, nor does Dell recommend upgrading the processor or motherboard in any given system. Therefore, Dell cannot support systems in which the motherboard or processor has been upgraded through third-party services or products.
For further help you can refer to the below mentioned link:
Please reply if you have any further questions.Thanks & Regards
