Is it possible to upgrade the CPU, such as an i5? Thanks!

Like S. Yu, I am not a computer guru. However, you should be able to search & find your answer on Google, YouTube and/or BING. Enjoy your ASUS computer (I very much LOVE mine!)! Best of luck to you finding the answer to your question.

No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

It is integrated, you cannot replace it. If you need to upgrade cpu, replace the whole thing...

Yes - I have it in an AM3+ motherboard right now. I even unlocked the 2nd core (although this is not a guarantee). Of course, go to your motherboard manufacturer's website. You'll find the list of CPUs supported. I would check there before I clicked the 'buy' button.

no you cant install this processor. please dont spend money trying to upgrade this machine because it's kinda obsolete. the best you can do is buy a new pc a $300 desktop will work 6x more faster than your PC.

Yes, you can definitely do that... but if you have to buy a motherboard, get a new model, this one is fairly outdated. So unless you have some legacy issue (like i did), i would recommend you to get a newer model

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

Hi.no,the board does not support that cpu.here's a list of supported processors: http://tinyurl.com/a9oxfwy

On your i7 what speed is it and same on i5. They made some very slow cpu's. You might have a i5. That's faster than i7. Never know.

I doubt it since the cpu is an older generation. But its always best to have all hardware up to date so definitely update it.

I believe so IF you have the proper BIOS version. According to the Gigabyte website the cpu is only supported with Bios Version "F4" or later. The cpu must also be revision S1 or later (some may call this the stepping code). It is not clear to me how you might upgrade if the I7-4820 is the only CPU you have. Please note: I have had very limited success with Engineering Samples (ES) CPUs with my Gigabyte motherboards (GA-X79-UP4, GA-X79S-UP5). My advice is stay with the retail releases.

I don't see why that could not be accomplished. However, you need to, first, check with the company that manufactures the processor.

You can upgrade the GPU/ram/hard drives without voiding warranties. I may be wrong, but, I do not think you can upgrade the cpu at all being as it is attached to the mobo. I don't know about the extended warranty.

Yes, you can replace the processor. And if you place high detailed games yes you should. Its graphic card rating is a 4.6 out of 10 it shows. Everything else is 7.5 to 8.5.

Yes you can. The motherbord has an AM3+ socket and the core socket is AM3+. Is a really good cpu tho
