is the cpu soldered on the motherboard?

Sorry Ken, I don't know this. only I can say is an excellent machine, no trouble with it.

Yes it is. You go into the bios and turn it on if for some reason it is off.

How do you know it's not the mobo or pc power switch. It could be a bad cpu etc. If you suspect a bad power supply and don't trust the power supply tester, try to obtain another known good power supply and install it.

Yes, mine came as brand new in the original box (sealed). While there may have been some minor scratches on the box, the CPU itself was in an impeccable condition. If you get an open box or used, then it is expected to have some signed of use from the cooler installation though.

Yup it's new. Look at your hardware specs? What does your motherboard want for memory?

yeah but if your mobo has a slot for it (usually under the CPU) it'll have a screw and post for it already

I can't tell you for certain but is a very solid board. It has been on since I finished building it. Contact ASUSTEK about your processor. They would be your best source of information.

No this is Z87 board, get the Maximus VII (Z97 chipset) one, that one has it.

Yes if you bought it in the retail box. Historically failure rates for CPU is rare unless you are an extreme overclocker and/or the heatsink fan fell off (in which case the CPU still shuts down automatically to prevent failure).

Yes, though you may have to remove the backplate that comes with the motherboard and replace it with the one included in this kit.

Heat sinks and fans are usually sold separately from CPUs. Don't expect either to be included unless the description clearly says so. Mine came as CPU only.

What you need to do is check the socket type. If I am not mistaken this is for a laptop and it did not work for me. The reason was not the processor or socket but rather the CPU was not the broken component. Find your computers socket and check the processor socket and if they match your good to go

From what I've read the RAM is soldered to the motherboard so no, you can't.

Well, it certainly doesn't come with cracked corners and a dead CPU when I got it. So it is fully operational, however if someone sold you a broken version, you might want to have it returned for a refund. It's not "normal" in case that's what you're asking.

Well mine didnt so i suppose not, however 775 cpu's such as Pentium 4 can be found cheap anyways. Good luck building :)

Not that I know of. Heard the RAM module was soldered in. I have not verified it though. If you find out differently post it here.

Nope. That motherboard is older, and it has a different socket. Look up motherboards that have an AM3+ socket in order for this CPU to work.
