I have an HP PC (a4310f). I cant afford to build my own pc yet, but i would like to upgrade it as much as i can. Does anyone know if this CPU works?

Yes the CPU works? But it's all on the question if you're motherboard can support am3+ and support 125watt CPU"s . I'm not sure what motherboard you have so I cannot answer much. Idk if this is a 125watt CPU but still

I have had this processor since May 2013. I have been very happy with it. No problems whatsoever. I do a lot of gaming on my machine and it handles all of them, e.g., Skyrim, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed, Borderlands 2, very, very we'll.

Kasey,Your question is very difficult to answer without know what motherboard you intend to use to install this CPU. How much memory does the system have, what is the form factor for the CPU, and what bridges are on the motherboard. You must answer these questions first before choosing a CPU.

No, your motherboard is AM3 (NOT AM3+) and has a max TDP of 95 watts (this chip is 125 watts). Check here for your motherboard specs. h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc;=en&docname;=c01925534#N117

I put my quad core microprocessor into a Pavilion G7 AMDA6 Vision motherboard to make it an A-10 video core and it works fine. If you are not sure, go to www.hp.com and they will give you advise if it fits yours as an upgrade as they did for me. I received a response the same afternoon or evening. SAN

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

You have to look at the system board and it's specifications. You will have to see if it is comparable with this CPU's specifications. Cheers

Most notebooks have the CPU soldered to the motherboard. I installed this processor in a desktop PC. This media server is still running strong 4 years later. I would check the AMD website for socket comparability. Good luck with your upgrade.

No. This is a desktop spec CPU. You can't upgrade a laptop CPU. All you can do is upgrade RAM and Harddrive.

Make sure your motherboard is compatible with this processor, otherwise it will cause damage to either the CPU or the motherboard.I'm no expert here but I think I can help you narrow down your search using this linkhttp://www.cpu-upgrade.com/If this doesn't work consider a deeper research on the processor you already have and see if it has more powerful versions within the series.I wish you best of luck and I hope this helps

I had my FX 8320 until, it was fine for the first day then i had overheating problems, it may have been because it was defective, now I replaced it with a FX 8350 and that is a solid cpu with no problems at all. The motherboard has to have at least 125 watts max tdp or more for it to work, check for that on your motherboard model on the web under specifications.

It should work. HP's spec sheet shows that desktop supports PC2700 and PC3200 (333Mhz and 400Mhz respectively). If you don't wanna take a risk, you can pick up some RAM that specifies it works with that model like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Business-Desktop-Upgrade-DDR-400MHz-184-pin/dp/B008O51EDK

I researched your computer and it will support your pc. The E8400 is nice but, you could even consider a used quad core. Your HP Pavilion computer can run a 95 watt socket 775 processor. Ex. Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650

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.

The AMD FX 4350 will not work on the HP because the HP requires anIntel processor. AMD and Intel CPU's are not interchangeable.

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

Emily .. No this processor will NOT work with your machine.. your machine uses socket AM2 and the stock processor you got with it was about 10 years out of date when you purchased it. E machines are basically JUNK .. they take old obsolete components and build machines that are obsolete by about 5- 10 years and sell them to un suspecting customers as "budget machines" for a premium price. You should avoid ever buying one again .. you would be better off buying a bare bones system on Ebay. You need a FX board for this processor.. if you are interested I could help you with building a machine.. Emily ..

It works well with mine. I am using a AMD Quad Core CPU and it works quite well!

I am sorry, I don't know, I still have mine, in the box, I ended up not using it, it would not operate my Mother Board, that had E6500 or so in it, wrong bio match. I have looked online, and maybe you have too, it is confusing looking at the charts, that show what cpu goes with what Mother Board. I would talk to a computer tech, I need to do that my self pretty soon, I want to redo my last computer, that I got this CPU for. I replaced everything but the Mother Board, and a tech still couldn't figure out the problem, it worked for him, but never worked when I got it home, couldn't figure that out. I gave up, now limping by with my wife's small lap top

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.
