|
Answer» Okay so i am about (Not really but hopefully this month) will get a new processor ...my pc is not the best so that's why i am going to get it.First of all here are my specs. Procesor Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 2.60GHz box OR Quote Procesor Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80GHz box I just wanna know if any of them is going to FIT if not both.If so i will get the second one Procesor Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80GHz box I know they are both socket 775 like my PC , but i am confused : Will the second processor with FSB 1066 work ???Because i checked my motherboard info (On a site) and it says something about 800/533 fsb .I don't really know here is my motherboard : http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775VM800 So please tell me if those processors will fit (If not both , then which one , also which one you recommend).The thing that confused me was the FSB thing i noticed on the motherboard (Info) so i am not sure if it supports fsb higher than 800 ? I Am newbie in this word (: .Awaiting answer please . THanks in advance.I think you'd find this link helpful. Unfortunately neither of those processors will work, your board does not support anything newer than the Pentium D so no Core 2 Duo based chips. I'd highly advise a new motherboard anyway, as Asrock is not a good brand in my opinion. Hope this helps, and welcome to the forums.You need to check your MBoard manual for this... Just because the CPU is Socket 775 is no guarantee the board supports it. The ASrock site won't even load here... Man yer quick today Calum...!

Oh i see thank you guys , until i get a new PC i might get a better processor , i won't get a new motherboard , i saw some nice pc's at shop but cannot afford at the moment so until then i will get 775 Pentium Extreme 840EE(B0) 3.20GHz 800MHz 2MB Smithfield P1.30 (If i find it AROUND here ) Besides what is PENTIUM extreme ? Is it like dual core ?I think not but 3.20 pentium extreme 800 mhz Will do better than what i have now right ? OK i have found this : Quote 1 Procesor Intel Pentium 4 631 3.00GHz tray AT the moment i have INTEL CELERON pentium 4 2,53 ghZ ( Should i get this one above , until i get a new pc) ?Will it do better ? I would be able to overclock it irhgt >? PLease help , will it work ?You could get the 840EE, but I wouldn't recommend it. It'll likely be expensive and/or hard to find. If you chose it because it's top of the list, it's also not the best PERFORMING CPU you can BUY for your board, however it would be better than your current processor. I'd recommend saving the money, towards a new computer, but others may disagree.Thx calum , yes i got it cause it was top but then i checked on the site i am going to buy and they don't have it , but they do have this Quote 1 Procesor Intel Pentium 4 631 3.00GHz tray....this has to be much better right ? Instead of fsb 533 and 2,53 .It's going to work right ?Thanks That will work and is better than your current one, but not by much.THank you very much .I would like to answer a few more question : At the processor info on the page , it says Cooler: NO (That means only the chip will be in the box ? And i will use the same processor cooler i have now m the middle fan with the heatsink ?if so , will it come with thermal paste ? Do i need it ? WIll i need to clean the current heatsink if this one doesn't come with one ? Or does all processors come with the heatsink ?If it does , can it have already in thermal paste ? On the heatsink ? Sorry for asking to many questions but you guys are pro and i always like to be sure about something.Thank you. Quote That means only the chip will be in the box ?Yes. Quote And i will use the same processor cooler i have now m the middle fan with the heatsink ?I don't know if that would provide sufficient cooling capability. If you're running your processor overclocked, and it's stable, I'd think it would handle it, but you'll need to watch the temperatures carefully. Quote if so , will it come with thermal paste ?The processor? No, you'll need to buy some. Quote Do i need it ?Yes. Quote WIll i need to clean the current heatsink if this one doesn't come with one ?Yes. Use isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to clean it off.You should save your money for that new build...you are not going to see that much of a performance gain here.Thank you all for helping |
