Will this CPU work on a dell optiplex 760? and if so will CPUs like the i3, i5 and i7 also work?

Core 2 Quad CPUs [Q9550 Q9650 Q9400 Q8300 Q8200] WILL work. Any i3/i5/i7 will NOT work, different socket.

To know that, you have to be sure of what socket your current motherboard has, you can know that either by knowing your current processor model, or in Dells page using your service tag. This CPU requires an LGA775 socket, it simply wont fit in any other ones. Then, you have to check.some other things like the front bus speed and the frequency of the RAM installed on your machine.No, i3, i5 an i7 have a whole other socket/FSB/and freq arrays.Cheers.

I used it for a Dell Vostro 230. Had to update the firmware though as it wouldn't recognize the processor at first.

Mainly the opti 760 have a 1066 front side bus- Most core 2 quads are 1333, ran into the same problen with an opti gx620 w\ an 800 mHz fsb. Anwer No it wont without the proper front side bus.

Yes, this CPU will work on an Optiplex 760. But the i3, i5, and i7 processors will not, they aren't the same LGA (Socket type) as this one. This fits into LGA 775, the i3, i5, and i7 fits into LGA 1155.

I would think any socket 775 core 2 cpu's should work, I would contact dell though. The i3,i5,i7 cpu's will not work.

Yes it will work. I'm running an i7 intel and it works just great.Hope this helped.

Not sure but I bought this CPU for a OPTIPLEX GX 270 SSF works great If that helps

Not sure what motherboard your system has. If it has a LGA 1150 motherboard it probably will. If not it won't. My guess is that it wouldn't be compatible. Dell can answer you for sure.

As long as the motherboard is backwards compatible then yes it will work. Not ever AM3 motherboard will work with an AM3+ CPU. The motherboard has to be backwards compatible.
1540628
yes. unless the description is messed up, this is what it says.Compatibility: Intel Core i7/i5/i3 (Socket LGA1156/1155)

If you go to support.dell.com and enter your service tag number, you can see the original configuration of your system. Check the CPU line for socket type- some common ones are socket 775 , 1155, 1150... This CPU is an 1150, if that's what you have, this will work.

I used the Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor G860 LGA 1155-BX806236860 with no problems...Thank that board will work with i7,i5, or i3 intel LGA 1155 socket.

HI Victor,To the best of my knowledge the processor should work. It is basically AM3 processor. Also it is rated at 95W which is also what the motherboard supports.

Yep, it's an lga 775 socket board so it'll support a 775 socket cpu. I happen to have a core2quad and it works fine for it.

Jeff, the question you need to confirm is what Socket is compatible with the motherboard on that computer. It has to be an AM3 socket. Then yes, you will be able to use this CPU and you will notice a major improvement in performance. I do a lot of video rendering and it cut my time in half from the Anthlon II 260 I had installed in my pc. Great CPU. I'm very pleased with it... Find it for under $100 and it's a score... Hope this helps.

First, the deceptively simple answer: Yes, it "should" work. Second, for less, and roughly the same: "http://www.amazon.com/SILENT-EAH5450-DI-1GD3-LP/dp/B004VRRN4E/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER". Thirdly, as mentioned by someone else, make sure you have a free slot :) Fourthly, both versions have additional brackets for full height and half-height type cases. Lastly, for your reference, so you can shop for better price to performance cards, the not so simple answer/explanation. I have mostly used this card in the older legacy Dell Dimensions (eg. 3100, 4700) that have only 1 PCI-E x1 slot. I am not that familair with the Optiplex 760. However, http://www.dell.com/us/dfb/p/optiplex-760/pd, under "Tech Specs" lists it as having an "PCI-e x16" slot. You can get a much better price to value on a slot x16 than a slot x1 type card. The ATI Radeon HD5450 chipset comes on both slot x1 and x16. Currently, slot x16 video cards tend to run cheaper for the same performance than slot x1. Oh, and your Optiplex is PCI-E v2.0 - so 2.1 should also work. So if you decide on another card, just make sure its v2.1 or v2.0 for best compatibility. Moreover, the PCI-E x16 slot is downward compatible meaning you can plug in x1, x4, and x16 PCI-E cards. Please see "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_4.0" if you wish to further research this.

It should be fine. I bought an Dell 745 Optiplex and I had no problem with any of my older items. Hooked up and running with no problems.

I would check HP and see if they have a list of compatible cpu if its on there list then ya hp dell boards have real narrow cpu support on there main boards

My Dell Optiplex 960 has the following related to your question: Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.84 GB usable) Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 DUO CPU E8400 @ 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz So, it appears that it's a match for you. I purchased this CPU as a refurbished unit with a newly installed Windows 7 Operating system from EzBuyCafe through Amazon in November 2013. I highly recommend the Dell Optiplex and EzBuyCafe... It was a great purchase from an excellent source. Ed Hobbs

the i5 3350p is socket lga 1155, and the optiplex 960 MT is socket 775. you may want to consider a motherboard upgrade as well--also note this processor is being discontinued by intel.

That's hard to say. I have an Intel motherboard, so I went to Intel's website to find the fastest CPU my motherboard would handle. You could perhaps try to contact Dell customer support and ask them.
