    The SMBus controller is the 'System Management Bus controller'. It's part of the Intel chipset on your motherboard.

    Problems with the SMBus controller typically indicate that you didn't install the Intel INF update utility, also known as the Chipset Software Installation utility.
    This is easily fixed by installing this driver from Intel:

    I only see listings per Operating Systems: not specific CPU's. There is nothing in the Read Me stating CPU compatibility. So that being said I would say yes; it is worth a try. An incompatible driver usually will tell you that it is when you try to install.

    Did you read the Read Me file for installation instructions?
