CPU Upgrade for Optiplex 755 - Core 2 Quad?
Hey guys!
I have a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computer. It's a SFF, and I picked up the recycling room in my office. It just need a HD fan, and it runs great. He got a Core 2 vPro 3.0 ghz in there at the moment, 4 MB of cache and FSB 1333.
It works well, but I would like to upgrade to a slightly faster processor and I am considering my options. I watched the fastest Core 2 Duo, I couldn't, and they offer only a 3.33 ghz, however, it's something like $350 dollars for the processor.
I started thinking maybe I should see what there is and realized that there is also the Core 2 Quad and the Extreeme of 2 Core that are available with one cache of FSB 1333 mhz, and PGA775 (or other).
I'm curious, but you guys don't know if it is possible to install a Core 2 Quad or a Core 2 Extreme in my Dell Optiplex 755? This PDF shows on Page 10 to take a Core 2 Quad. http://www.Dell.com/downloads/global/products/Optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.PDF
Which is the maximum that the BIOS will recognize / support? Can I use a QX6850?
Thank you guys!
Todd

Through the Optiplex 780, the chassis has remained the same - that said, you're better off buying a new (or a more recent version) upgrade of the system.
You will find all the systems in the range of $200-300 - not much more that it will cost for a single pension + CPU + RAM.

CPU upgrade Dell dimension 9200 core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz processor
I was wondering if someone could help me. I know that it is not supported by dell, but I want to upgrade my processor at the maximum speed supported by my Dimension 9200... I currently have a 2.4 Ghz cpu and bought an E8500 3.16 Ghz, which is NOT compatible... I was wondering if I could go with an E7300 2.66, I I think the problem is with the speed of the bus--the E6600 and E7300 are the two 1066 Mhz but the E8500 and E8600 1333 Mhz.
Can anyone confirm that the E7300 2.66 / 1066 Mhz is compatible...? Thank you.
SteinomiteOK so just to confirm that I will buy the CPU... I can get a core 2 duo for a core 2 Quad... as long as I get a Q6700 2.66 GHz... correct? for a Dimension 9200... Thank you.
Yes, the XPS 410/9200 will take up to Q6700, processors FSB 1066.

Hello
Which will support your card mother MS-6577 (Giovani, Giovani2).
Socket 478 for Intel P4 Willamette and Northwood 1.4 GHZ to 2.8 GHz or higher processors.
Here is a link to NewEgg for a card mother microATX replacement. You will need to buy the DDR2 memory, but it's pretty inexpensive. All of your devices will work in this one. You need to replace the power supply. The diagram of the motherboard is not marked ATX is an owner of COMPAQ connector configuration.

How to add SSD for Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor)
Hi-
I want to add a SSD for my Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor) boot drive while maintaining the HARD disk it came with and the player optical slimline. There is a SATA port on the motherboard, but there is no open Bay and not a lot of room in the chassis (I do not see a power open cable).
Anyone know how or if I can add a SSD to 2.5 inches to this machine? Would need a power splitter? And it's even bothered to improve an Optiplex 755-10 Windows?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
-Lewis
Adding a drive in the optical Bay is possible. But you cannot run without the original hard disk on the desktop SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

Inspiron 530 s CPU Upgrade - why some Dual Core and not others?
Hi all
Inspiron 530 s been chugging along fine (although strong), but has now been replaced, so decided to take a look inside, radiator & fan felt loose so unscrewed it and he lifted directly out absolutely no resistance, so I think that the cpu and the radiator cleaning and put thermal paste on would be a good idea.
When I opened it, I thought that I might as well upgrade the processor as older bicoeur are going for about $10-15 here, (he currently has a 1.87? double heart in it), so I got a reading of the forum to find what was possible
from the bottom of post
quote - shesageordie

Before installing the processor, that you should check that you have BIOS Version 1.0.15 or above, when support for the new Intel processor has been added.
Note: The Quad Core 2 processors are not supported by the Inspiron 530 s [Slimline]
Bev.
Theres now my problem
Seem some of the processors used cheap available locally does not not at these figures (and they seem to be somewhat of Eug than those that match)
for example the E8200 E6850, E7200, what of these processors prevents them from working?
And as a note aside will upgrade the radiator and the fan, if I get a different processor?
Nigelt74
The E7200 and E8200 are 65w/45nm Wolfdale processors and should work.
The E6850 is a 65w/65nm Conroe and will not work
There should be no need to replace the entire radiator/fan of the 530 Inspiron s, but remember to check the version of the BIOS before installing the processor.

Obtaining an ISO image:
For some systems, you can get Dell operating system through Dell hosted image images
Note: not all systems and service tags will have a picture available.
Note: Although Dell hosted Images have USB3, they cannot understand the pilot of TSRI currently. (some may know this the pilot to F6). You will need to install the driver of TSRI manually during the installation process of Windows.
Dell is currently working to add the driver to the TSRI Dell hosted images. No ETA on when this will happen right now.

Hi all. I've been cleaning and updating my granddaughter desktop PC. This model used by an Asus P5BW - rev 1.05 MB (HP/Compaq name: Buckeye-GL8E), a processor Intel E6300 4x1Go RAM PC2-6400 and runs a 10 Pro 64-bit Windows installation.
I thought I would upgrade the CPU while I was there and bought an E6700 opportunity that is part of the Intel same product range with plug, with the exception of the higher clock speed. On these two circuits rated FSB is 1066 and documentations of HP wrote this should work: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00748726
However - there is always a but isn't there - the E6700 does not start in the BIOS. No beep codes or any other indication, just never reveals the splash screen. I have reset the CMOS, tried more fast RAM RAM slower but none of these things makes no difference. I checked to see if there was a BIOS later / updated but it seems that it was never a product, v3.17, and this is what is currently installed.
Does anyone know if there are some technical limitations - like model of processor being hard coded in the BIOS or something like that--that it prevents the work or have I bought probably a bad cpu chip?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Howard
Resmond, WA
Greetings,
The processor should work as the specs are the same.
When you reinstall the E6300 it starts fine but the E6700 is DOA.
Looks like a bad chip. The only way to check is to install the E6700 in a different motherboard.
See you soon!

CPU upgrade for HP Dv7-6179us?

Yes of course. However, it may require a fresh install of Windows on the new SSD. Origin of the hard disks on computers laptops HP are larger that the SSDS and a factory reset can end with a lot of mistakes because the ssd is not large enough to manage the restoration to the original state. A new facility has always worked for me with the key of portable computer product at the bottom of the unit. The only thing I had to do was uncheck activate online because it must be done after you get the activation message (by phone is ok) a few days later.

How can I access the CPU multiplier for the Intel Core 2 Extreme x 9000 processor
I bought a Dell Precision M6300 with an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor. Now from what I've read the page on this system, it can run CAD and other graphics programs. Well, when I had him form the person he had Linux Ubuntu top. It worked fine until I erased the drive and installed my iso of Windows 7. It was REALLY SLOW. To the point, I couldn't watch videos with VLC and it took forever to load Firefox.
I opened the Task Manager, and it was running at 0.59 GHz! This processor should be around 2.5 GHz. So I disabled the bios for the speed step options and he went up to 0.89 GHz and no longer.
About a week went by and I now have 10 Windows and it works well, but always to 0.89 GHz I had done more searching and found ThrottleStop. Well, now I'm running at 2.5 GHz, but I need to run this program to have the CPU to where I want to.
TL; DR y at - it updated for me to be able to access the CPU multiplier in BIOS? This is revision A15. I have an another Dell which is an XPS M1730 and it has a setting in the BIOS for him.
You have 2 options:
(a) run ThrottleStop all the time, that costs nothing or
(b) replace the card mother and adapter which is not worth the time or evil or the cost of repair.
The maximum speed by default for a 9000 X is 2.8 GHz. Yes, it's a processor that is unlocked, but not all motherboards include this feature in the bios. Some laptops allow the multiplier slots, one or two an increase while other motherboards allow any any overclocking in the bios. It is the choice of the manufacturer. If your laptop is still usable almost 9 years after the X 9000 was launched, there must be nothing to complain about.
BTW, Windows Task Manager is not 100% reliable when they say the speed of these processors unlocked and it is not 100% reliable when they say the CPU so best to ignore these data. ThrottleStop properly reported your CPU to 2992 MHz. Be happy that there is a free solution available which can completely solve that problem for you.

Ivy Bridge CPU Upgrade for Inspiron 620
As stated above, I have a 620 Inspiron with a Core i3 2120 which is a Sandy Bridge processor. I have the opportunity to get a Core i5 3570 for a very good price, which is a processor Ivy Bridge, but the word is that the Ivy Bridge processors can be used in some of the Sandy Bridge motherboards with a BIOS update. According to my system in the Device Manager devices, I have the drivers for chipset H61. However, I can't have an answer directly from anyone or not an Ivy Bridge CPU will work in my computer. I thought that maybe someone from Dell could help me this clear up because I'm not sure I can return the CPU as soon as I remove it from the box. It would be a fairly expensive mistake. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think that it will be possible, because Dell does not have a BIOS for your specific model supporting Ivy Bridge. They may have sold a 620 with Ivy Bridge, however the more specific model number will be different, and they contain different parts and require different BIOS. For example on the number of specific model, the original Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series had a model number of 7537, the new 15 Inspiron 7000 (same model) series has a model number of 7547 (different specific model number)
