• Dell Dimension E520 CPU Upgrade

  Hi, I upgraded my CPU because it is too slow, and that I am I going to pay $ 80 instead of the usual price of $250. I would like to know if they are compatible with my system. All the I know is that they have the same type of socket (LGA 775). Here is the link: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115060CVF

  Here's my current computer specs: 4 GB RAM DDR2 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit AMD video card, 1.86Ghz Intel core 2 duo CPU (valued at 3.33 Ghz) and a 305 power w.

  If I need to change the power supply, I would love to know because I have one here that's 750w I could also use. Thank you.

  * P.S: I know I need to update my BIOS because I am currently at version 2.2.1 and the most recent is 2.2.4 (or something like that) should I just brings it to someone to do it for me, or is it easy to update? I don't know where to find them, so if someone could possibly direct me, I BIOS Phoenix technologies.

  Thanks a lot again!

  The Core 2 Quad Q9505 Yorkfield 2.83 GHz LGA775 95W shown in your link is not compatible with the e520.

  All Socket LGA 775 processors, listed HERE are compatible.

  There should be no need to improve the power supply for a processor upgrade.

• Dimension 5150 cpu Upgrade

  I have 4 dell dimension 5150's and you want to update all the 4 fastest possible CPU for this old of a computer.

  Would an Intel Pentium D 945 3.4 work GHz LGA 775 CPU SL9QQ 4 M/800 Presler Dual Core?

  They now have PROCESSORS, 3.06, 524, 1 MB, PENTIUM 4 PRESCOTT DT, G1

  Or what is the best I could get in these?

  I have windows 7 and hoping to be able to get up to 10 but the 524 is not compatible.

  The Pentium D945 is the maximum that can be used in the Dimension 5150/E510.

  However, if you don't have motherboard 0HJ054 installed and upgrade the processor on most other motherboards will rise a 'incompatible CPU"at startup and need to press F1

  The Dimension 5150/E510 does not support all of the processors Pentium G20xx series, these require a different motherboard and socket.
  .
  The motherboard for the Dimension 5150/E510 has a Socket LGA 775 and can't stand not all processors Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad, single Socket LGA 775, P4 and Pentium D can be used.

  The Pentium D945 is the maximum that can be used in these models.

  Before upgrading the processor, make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS installed.

• Dell dimension e520 Motherboard upgrade

  Hi, I have a Dell Dimension E520 and I was wondering if it takes care of all new mothers of dell. Thanks for your help.

  hunterp15

  There is no motherboards, other than a Dell e520 OEM motherboard that will fit the owner e520 EOL BTX chassis, or y at - it available BTX retail motherboards.

  The Dimension e520 is the latest model of this series, Dell made.

  Only 65 processors with 800 or 1066fsb will work with the E-520.

  The Q6700 should work, but before installing the processor, make sure you have BIOS version 2.2.1 [or more] installed, when additional CPU support has been added.

• Upgrade my Dimension E520 CPU

  Has anyone upgraded their E520 (G965 Express Chipset) with a Q6600 which is using it now and it performs as it assumes too much. I read, where they said it works but I have not read where they use it now after they upgraded. I will go to E6600 but would like better if I could switch to Q6600 and it works well! Thank you!

• Dimension 5150 CPU upgrade options

  Hello

  I bought my Dimension 5150 almost 2 years ago. It uses a Pentium D 2.8 Ghz and his mother is an Intel i954G using socket LGA 775. I would like to know what are my options to upgrade CPU. If it is still possible to upgrade my CPU.

  I did some research and saw that this motherboard supports CPU C2D. Responses of the other forums of stress that the upgrade of processor is impossible because Dell locks the mobo/bios, it is impossible to upgrade (it will never recognize the new processor). It's a shame if I can't upgrade my CPU because the rest is pretty decent. I have 3 GB of RAM and a HD3850.

  If possible, Dell only updated for the customer? And what is the best processor I can get which is supported by this mobo?

  Thank you.

  EDIT: I double checked and it seems that there are a lot of confusion if my Board can support a C2D even if it's a mobo socket LGA775. List of site Intels C2D's as usable processor Intel 945 G express boards. BTW, I improved my diet to a 460 Watt cooler master.

• Dell Dimension C521 CPU Upgrade

  Hi all. I have a Dimension C521 (feat) and I would like my CPU from a AMD Sempron (TM) Processor 3400 + ~1.8GHz to an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 6000 3.0 GHz 2 MB socket AM2 89W ADA6000IAA6CZ. But I'm not sure about a few things, that's why I'm here. I would like to know:

  • If the AMD Athlon 64 6000 works with my computer of x 2
  • What is the recommended BIOS
  • If the fan the C521 comes with is good enough to keep it cool
  • If a 280W 955.39BTU / h Maximum PSU is fine
  • If you have any questions = D

  Here is the owner's manual, if it'll help - ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-c521_owner ' s%20manual_en-us.pdf

  Also, if I had to update my GPU, what would you recommend?

  xXEblisXx

  The Athlon 64 X 2 6000 + 3.0 Ghz, 89W Windsor, will work.

  Before installing the processor, make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS version installed 1.1.11, with BIOS version 1.1.4 support AMD has been added.

  The default fan and the PSU should be fine.

• Dell dimension e510 CPU upgrade

  Almost 2 years ago, I bought a dell dimension e510 with the pentium d 820 installed processor desktop computer but now I want to put the best processor in it it may take. I did some research and discovered it might support only the pentium d, pentium 4 hyperthreading w and that the pentium d 960 was supposed to be the best pentium d processor available. I bought a

  now heres where the problem begins: I put it in (radiator and all), but when I plugged it in, the power of computers led turns orange and nothing happens; No start, display, diagnostic lights or a message saying incompatible processor. I put the back of 820 to and it worked fine but the same 960 post custom. I thought that maybe the processor could be bad, so I sent it back, but the seller (seller ebay w / 99% positive feedback) says that it worked fine when he tested and it sends to me.

  I would like to know if anyone knows why it might not work, I need a different version of the card mother e510, make, it would be inconsistent, or I need to do something special (like asking dell for permission?)

  According to everest, my motherboard is 0HJ054, a07 bios revision. any ideas?

• The upgrade of old Dell Dimension 2400 CPU, GPU, memory, etc...

  Mainly interested in CPU upgrade at this time. I have download CPU - Z to determine my profile and I provide this stitched-together set screenshots of this program:

  

  I just put the CPU of my Dimension 5150 friend successfully. I would only reproduce on my 2400 - a much smaller machine. This computer is mainly used for the casual internet browsing, and sometimes I watch a Youtube video. The only programs that really tax the CPU are my disk defragmentation and the program CCleaner. When I have a great session of internet browsing of 100 + tabs, the CPU also emerged at this time here.

  I want to the maximum this computer using cheap parts upgrades, that I can buy it on eBay. On my 5150 friend, I bought a processor upgrade for $5 delivered and a thermal paste to ebay for 80 cents. I wouldn't mind buying a cheap video card and processor to upgrade this old workhorse

  sva50233

  The Dimension 2400 can use 400 MHz or 533 MHz, Socket 478, P - 4 Northwood or Celeron processor with a 512 k or more small cache.

  You cannot use all processors Prescott [1 MB cache].

  The maximum support of the processor is P - 4 Northwood, 533 MHz, Socket 478, 3.06 GHz.

  Before upgrading the processor, make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS installed.

  With regard to the video card, only the PCI cards are supported, no PCI Express card is supported.

  The Dimension 2400 supports a maximum of 2 GB (2 x 1 GB Modules) memory DDR.

• Anyone using DDR2 - 800 MHz PC2 - 6400 RAM on a Dimension E520?

  I have a 8-y-o Dimension E520 with a CPU Q6600 and 4 GB of RAM PC2-5300 DDR2 - 667 MHz.

  Max RAM is 8 GB so I did research what type of RAM would maximize the expected gain in speed.

  According to this articleand this one as this thread of Dell, the E520 can accept RAM PC2-6400 DDR2 - 800 MHz.

  In addition, in accordance with this sheet of Intel chipset 965 on the motherboard will have DDR2-800 MHz RAM.

  I have noticed however that a sweep Crucial suggested DDR2-667 PC2-5300, like upgrading RAM later.

  By no means discouraged, I advanced and bought 4 sticks of 2 GB of RAM DDR2-800 PC2-6400 Non ECC Unbuffered of 240 pins.

  Then, installed the new RAM and started in the BIOS. Of course, the 8 GB of RAM is recognized.

  Then started to Ubuntu. However, the initialization has failed before he arrived at the office.

  Then started to Windows 7 (on the same machine, multiboot). Yet once again, began to start Desktop but bluescreened before that he (0 x 00000019 which seems to refer to the memory problem)

  Reinstall all the RAM sticks and tried again with the same result.

  Replaced the 4 GB of RAM has low gear and everything was fine.

  So, is the RAM purchased dubious quality or not my E520 simply not accept RAM DDR2 - 800 MHz?

  In the interest of anyone else might have the same problem or similar, I put the 4 sticks of RAM to the reseller and received four sticks of replacements of the same specification.

  And they work perfectly in my Dimension E520.

  Thus, in response to my original question, the absence of start-up stems from a faulty RAM.

• The Dimension 3000 processor upgrade

  I want to improve my old dimension 3000 D325 celeron processor equipped with a pentium 4.

  When I looked in the Dell user manual it says that the best processor I can get is a pentium 4 at 3.2 Ghz with hyper thread.

  When I looked at the site http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel _ (chipsets) 865GV.html it says I can put a 3.4 Ghz! and the list of the processor is much longer.

  Is there anyone who knows if I can use a pentium 4 3.4 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache with hyper threading?

  lingophi

  Either the Socket 478, P4 3.2 GHz or the 3.4 GHz P - 4 will work.

  Before you replace the processor, verify that the BIOS Version A03 is installed, when adding support for the latest processors has been added.

• Update the motherboard on a Dell Dimension E520

  Hello

  I have a Dell Dimension E520 with an Intel Celeron 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Windows Vista 32 - Bit for about a year now and the speed of the processor. But with 1 core is not enough. I opened the case and found that the CPU is soldered in to the motherboard and what it is not replaceable, so I replace the motherboard with one that comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHZ. My question is what can I replace the motherboard on it and what kind of specifications of the motherboard will work with Dell Dimension E520.

  Thank you
