Below is the support CPU for Aurora R5. In general, you can upgrade to a 6th generation processor.

Nothing much to be honest. Something like a 6700K, but honestly I don't see the point of upgrading it as that technology is 10 years old and you would need to purchase a second hand CPU upgrade as it will be virtually impossible to find one brand new in a box...

@Vanadiel Thanks very much for the reply! I can get a 6700k for 55 euro that has a 2 year guarantee.

Hi, I installed the i7 6700k, and on reboot I get an orange flash on the power button 4 time. Is there something else I need to do with the PC, BIOS or something like that?
