Pomoc TS-879U-RP BIOS AND CPU UPGRADE

[U1v3r]

Hello everyone,

I have a TS-879U-RP with:

• Specs:CPU i3 3220 and Ram 4GB DDR3 UDimm
  
• Bios Version: QV05AR66 (4.6.5.3)
• Firmware version: Latest and Final since its an EOL product.
• P/N:52200-000915-RS

Since the versions of this NAS are not clear and not stated anywhere it might be the latest version,the green motherboard one with the 4 ram slots.Sorry about this but i opened it up and i didn't find anything relevant to provide you with more info.

Since this must be a IvyBridge chipset i'm looking to fit one i7 3770 that i have lying around and i know that practically almost any Ram will work.

So my concerns are:

• Will this cpu work with the bios version that i already have or do i need to upgrade?
• If yes does anyone have the latest version ?
  
• Are all the necessary microcodes in there for the upgrade? I looked into the "other" forum and i stumbled on a QV05AR72 bios file but it was for a ts-1679u-rp and i'm not sure if it'll work at all.
• Is the stock cpu heatsink adequate for this cpu or do i need another? I Know that the EC-879 that houses a v2 Xeon with 77w TDP is pretty much identical in terms of cooling but i'm asking just to be sure.
• By the way i'm also looking to swap the psu fans with something more quiet.Has anybody done this ?

Thanx very much for your time.
