i can't see it under the CPU Support but does my motherboard support Intel Xeon CPU's for LGA-1156?

MSI P55-GD85 CPU Support List

there is only Pentium, i3, i5 and i7 cpu's, it's bcs i am trying to find a used Lynnfield Quad-Core Processor for my system so it could be nice to know if it supports the Xeon X34xx series.

Only way to know for sure is to ask MSI: http://support.msi.com/

Normally, if it isnt on the list, it will not work.

even when it's a Lynnfield CPU?

thx Mark i will try that

 

[DaLoona]

Yup, even when its a Lynnfields cpu, because even those have differences in between them (different revisions, different instructionset, extra/revised instructions, etc).
You can try as Mark suggested and see if MSI will write a bios for that cpu.

Some of the 1156 MB's used to show support for X3450 but it seems that any reference & support for them has been removed from the lists. As far as I know people were having too much trouble getting them to run right.
