Inspiron 545 CPU Upgrade, E5300 to E8400

Currently, I own an Inspiron 545 and was studying the processor upgrade. This computer is used as a HTPC + games

Current processor is Pentium Dual Core E5300 2.6GHz, bus front at 800 MHz. LGA 775

Motherboad is DG33M06, wood version A12

I was watching the upgrade to Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, LGA 775

Will have problems with this upgrade?

Can I use the existing cooler from Dell?

Can I use the same RAM?

Where should I get one?  What is used in CPU?

It should work; It's quad-core processors that require a different motherboard.

The original cooler must work, the old thermal paste is carefully cleansed and applied new compound. (Arctic Silver is a popular choice).

  • The Inspiron 530 CPU upgrade.

    Hi all. I have an Inspiron 530 stock (not a 530 a/b/c/d, etc.) under Vista Home Premium, model Board 0RY007. BIOS is 1.0.3 (which... seems hopelessly out of date, but what do I know?). Previous research told me I couldn't go to a quad core with this motherboard, but a dual core is very good for my gaming needs. I installed on a Pentium E6500 2.93 GHz dual core, because it seemed to be a modest upgrade that would work with realism in a 3 year machine.

    When that I boot, I get the black screen progress bar, green with the Microsoft copyright line downstairs. It will not go past this screen. When I reboot, the comp is in recovery mode, but then freezes also. I reinstalled the old processor core, he returned to recovery mode, this time successfully, and I did a system restore to a week ago. It is here where I am now. The machine works very well with the old processor (I also upgraded the RAM and that seems to be good too), so I'm left wondering if this new processor is compatible with my old Inspiron. Any help/advice would be appreciated, thanks!

    Before installing the processor, upgrade the BIOS to Version 1.0.15, or more, what new Intel CPU support has been added and see if that makes a difference.

    In addition, please post the e6500 processor sSpec number.

  • Dell Inspiron 531 CPU Upgrade for AMD Phenom X 3 8450?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 531 with an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 processor.

    I am lucky to have an AMD Phenom X 3 8450 - HD8450WCJ3BGH CPU which is Socket AM2 / Socket AM2 +.

    The AMD Phenom 8450 3 X is compatible with the Inspiron 531?

    No, the AMD Phenom X 3 8450 is not compatible.

    The motherboard does support all AMD quad Core processors, or 3.

    Believe it or not, my dell came with the i3-4150

    I checked since last year, and recently, they began using the new released processors. My local store ordered this dell in October-November 2014

    Sorry if it was too much trouble.

    As a general rule, her upgrade CPU what whether it is compatible with the motherboard will NOT give you a lot of performance. The GT 620 is a low range GPU and there are a lot more mature. Check the video card review sites for options. You will also receive additional RAM if it is not already overexploited, usually more than a costly upgrade of CPU.

  • Case of upgrades for a Dell Inspiron 545

    Recently, I broke the front panel/Panel on my Dell Inspiron 545. I went in to sit down and accidentally launched.

    Is there a business out there that I can move all my current games in?

    Or should I stay with this broken case?

    Info about my computer:

    Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0N826N (Socket 775)

    Just in case where it is necessary:

    Graphics card: 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (Dell)

    Optical drive: HL-DT-ST DVD +-RW GH50N ATA Device

    RAM: 6.00 GB Dual - Channel DDR2 @ 398 MHz

    My computer model: www.dell.com/.../pd

    I would like a new case in any case, this case seems nice, but it's a bit boring. I'm looking for cases that look nice, as a case of fantasy game, with LED fans and others.

    Summary: I want a new case to replace my old, is it possible? My components will in a new? If it is, leave suggestions in your answer.

    Thanks for your time. Your answers are greatly appreciated. :)

    You may need to do some rewiring, but it is mATX and includes a detachable IO shield.

  • A motherboard Inspiron 545 ON826N will support a quad processor

    I have an Inspiron desktop 545MT with an Intel Core DUO E7400 processor and was considering an upgrade to a Quad processor but I'm not sure if the

    motherboard (motherboard) will manage a Quad. The chipset according to Cupid CPU - Z, is Intel P35/G33/G31 - southbridge 82801.

    Not sure I asked dell UK but got an ambiguous answer.  "Should do but may give the game after a few months, better to buy a new motherboard" says the guy in sale upgrade...?

    Anyone has any experience of this upgrade with this particular motherboard... ?

  • Inspiron 545 desktop PC

    Hi, we bought an inspiron 545, at the office of albums in 2010 and you have run on broadband connected.  We need now to turn on wifi.  Does anyone know how to do this?  We have upgraded to Windows 10.  Thank you:-)

    Hello

    Thanks for writing on the Dell Community Forum.

    The best way to add wireless to your desktop would be using the USB Wifi adapter. Linksys, Netgear, D-Link are a few companies that provide Wifi USB adapters. Please check for a compatible USB Wifi adapter for Windows 10 working with your computer.

  • Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

    Hello world

    I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
    Can someone help me please?

    I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

    Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

    Thank you.

    I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
    Did you?

    Some facts first:
    Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
    In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

    Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
    Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
    Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

    Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

    But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

  • Satellite Pro L630 - 14L - CPU upgrade possible?

    Is it possible to upgrade processor in this model: L630 14 L? If yes what processors are supported?
    Another question - my hdmi port stopped working - is the possible replacement?

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

    My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest

    Hello

    I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - CPU upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X and I was wondering which processors 'Dual Core' support this laptop for a CPU upgrade?

    Have a read of other peoples threads, it is possible for the laptop to have an upgrade, but I'm not sure of what those who actually support. The most common dual core would be the dual core 'Stalk' However, there are many processors that go under the name "stalk".

    I was also wondering if all Toshiba L450Ds have the same motherboard etc... because they contain the same case and (mostly) graphics card

    Thank you very much

    I assume that you have already read this Toshiba doesn't support CPU upgrade and a public document on processors compatible doesn t exist.
    You can just hope that someone has an identical identical machine with the hardware platform and can offer some info on these updates.

    For best performance, you can start with the RAM upgrade. Have you upgraded RAM to max level?
