Will this cpu work with my desktop?
August 6th, 2016http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GMGN1G/?tag=pcpapi-20# Will I get the intel core 2 duo box or will it be in different packages since it said new? Here is the list
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001GMGN1G/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=newI am going to buy from Digicconcepts. It has a lifetime warranty that is why I am interested in that seller.
I have a dell inspiron 545MT with a 600 corsair power supply so I could possible upgrade but just making sure it really works before buying it as I don’t want to waste money shipping it back.
Please tell me if its going to work because I asked on toms hardware and they said even though its the same socket type there a chance it won’t work with the same socket type so is that true? Also if I can upgrade will the oem pentium e5400 be good enough to cool it until I can get a Corsair Hydro Series H70.
What model is your motherboard. Without that we dont know.
Your motherboard has socket 775 but that does not mean it support an core2quad.
To the 2nd question. Give the seller an pm. No one know only seller know.

DEll 545 MT with an dell 0N826N motherboard. I am unsure if this is the right link but here is where it says its compatible with http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/dell-0n826n-specs/
Also I don’t know how to pm a seller.
That motherboard should be fine for any Core 2 quad or duo including what you re looking at
In the customer reviews, one of then said it come with a stock cooler..
If you are richer, you could go better (say Q6600),but not much point in spending too much on older technology,
anyhow the one you selected should run well and give a nice improvement on the Pentium!
Look around Ebay too…Here’s something looks good..

That motherboard should be fine for any Core 2 quad or duo including what you re looking at I don’t buy used components that is just risking it breaking early. I never buy anything used, also I have already ordered the cpu right now.

WOW! I am impressed by the Quad Core Q8300 cpu so far and I just got it. It even speed up my browsing web page loading speeds. I sure am noticng the speed between my dual core and this quad core. EDIT: Why is my heat so high? 
Does it take time for the thermal paste to spread around? I just put the thermal paste in the middle instead of using the credit card trick to spread it around.
EDIT 2: It Went down 67*C like 20 minute after start up of my computer.
EDIT 3: Temps are rising again to 71-91*C Here is the picture of my new intel C2Q in my pc 
by not spreading the heatsink compound with a credit card, it could be too thick. anything thicker than .001 inch degrades the thermal transfer properties. and temperatures of greater than 71.4�C will damage the CPU permanently. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_2/Intel-Core%202%20Quad%20Q8300%20AT80580PJ0604MN%20-%20AT80580PJ0604ML%20(BX80580Q8300).html
Hmmm …. why would U buy Old technology and waste money upgrading ??
The mind does Boggle occasionally..lol

Holy moley… not heard of Liquid cooling ?
Same socket type lga 775. Now is possible to upgrade to a Core2Quad from a pentum e5400? According to cpuz my otherboard is an lga 775 socket.

Intel chips go with intel boards only AMD chips go with AMD boards only please read the specs of the board to decide yourself like someone said without the board make and model can’t Help!

Quad core will produce more heat than a Dual core / If you applied the Thermal compound to the chip or Heat sink correctly which ever way you did it there is no real correct way but the careful way plus have you gotten a good CPU cooler ie. Heat sink is your case well vented I have 13 Fans in mine WoW I know but i have an AMD 8350 8 Core overclocked using a Noctua DH 14 CPU fan and heat sink looking at my temps I’m getting 34 Celsius right now also consider room temps as well etc. etc.
Those temps are to high m8 consider what i have written and check or say

Well I’m only trying to Help! m8 Because I build computers for a living and I would have replied sooner but these bloOdy forums are playing up due to migration etc etc and the fact there servers can’t cope.
Don’t be so Hasty or otherwise you asked for Help! i gave my opion which was correct your CPU fan and heatsink Bingo glad to have help!ed and glad ya happy good night

Maybe the fittings then..
It is important that the heat sink has a firm even contact with the CPU.
I used to have problems with an old 478 pin socket, where the frame actually pulled away from the motherboard
and hence it would loose proper contact pressure and overheat..
Anyhow you have done well…I thought that CPU would be a lot better than the old one
Hmmm .... why would U buy Old technology and waste money upgrading ??
The mind does Boggle occasionally..lol
I have 13 Fans in mine
Holy moley... not heard of Liquid cooling ?
Lol 7 Fans came with the case 3 @ front two on top two @ the back = 7 / 2 on the Noctua NH-D14 3 on the Gainward GTX 570 Card 1 on the PSU @ the bottom = 13
Best air cooler in the world or one of it ‘s now got my AMD FX 8350 sitting @ 27c

Check case out here Antec DF-85 One of the best Best case’s in the world for Gaming and Cooling even has removable front filters you can clean and holes @ the back for fitting a water cooler etc. etc. Yes I will fit one soon! this year maybe…

Maybe the fittings then.. The quad core does help a tiny bit in gaming even with my old geforce 9600 card lol plus I just added an 120GB ssd to my desktop so its way faster. Yeah when I looked at the heatsink when it was on my processor the heatsink wasn’t touching it so it didn’t give it any cooling much so no choice but to use my old heatsink which is not to bad. Like I said I didn’t get any brackets with the new heat sink+fan and the heatsink+fan is a push top and my original cooler had spring screws.

With the Antec case in the link I have I can control the three front fans with a little red round knob on the front of each door x3 doors so can have high or low speed And the top two fans which are hard to see from the Antec website pics I control from the rear with slider switches same for rear two can control also high or low so really goo case i bought put a lot of thought into buying that case because it’s large plenty of room for installing extra drives fits a big 1 foot long GFX card no problem and is well airy love the window can see the Red L.E.D lights emitting from front and rear fans and emitting from the Creative sound card as well…
Lasko� 32-Inch Tower Fan with Remote Control / lol had a similar fan hated it no good
