I have an EVGA X58 mATX board (121-BL-E756-TR) with all the power i need except CPU. The i7 920 CPU that's in it lacks the AES instruction set, and I could really use the extra instruction set for all the encryption/decryption I do plus batch photo processing. When exporting/transforming photos, it uses all cores at 100% and I'd like to get more performance out of it. (Disk i/o not an issue with my raid.)
Are there any drop-in replacement CPU for upgrade? I'd prefer not to upgrade motherboard if I can avoid it. I guess what I want is a CPU support list, but I didn't find it on EVGA's website....
