I have an older CPU I would like to put in this board, the E8400. Is it still compatible with this motherboard?

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

Yes , I bought the motherboard and it was compatible. If you plan on doing the work yourself , the old motherboard is labeled so check that first

You need to know what socket (ie:11500 the mother board will accept. Then match it to the processor.

Yes that's compatible. For future reference, when you buy a CPU, check the socket type. Your CPU is an LGA 1150. So you have to buy LGA 1150 board. This is one of them

Yes it should be compatible with that motherboard definitely you should be able to install 64 GB of memory and you should be able to install 2600 MHz without actually overclocking on that one motherboard and has eight slots on board!

It's compatible with the board, but the i7, i5, & i3 processors for that socket only support up to 1600 mhz, so unless you're intending to overclock your ram by 1000 mhz, you might want to bump it down a bit.

Yes sir, it is compatible with that CPU. I have the Intel Core i5-2500 in my current build and it works like a dream!

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 your machine uses socket AM2 and the stock processor you got with it was about 10 years out of date when you purchased it.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 ..

Need to know the specific part number of your motherboard but more than likely, the answer is no. The release date of the two cpu's are far apart enough that the sockets and/or supporting architectures are different.

Not likely. Unless this was built by Dell within the last year or so, it is not compatible. The processor here works only in the new Haswell motherboards that have been on the market for just over a year. From what I can see your computer is circa 2008ish. You need to upgrade the Motherboard and the CPU to use this one, which would require a new operating system and new RAM. Could be done, but probably not worth it.

No. Put simply, the compatibility is determined by the socket type. To find the socket type on your processor, just look up the specs on the manufacturers website or one of the many online resources like wikipedia. Once you find your socket type, you should search for motherboards based on the socket type

Dear Mariano;You have to find out your motherboard type and then look up to your motherboard manufacturers web site to see if it Works with your motherboard type. There should be a page showing the compatible cpu's with your MB. Or you can call them on the phone and ask them. Bill.

Yes it's compatible but not the one that really corresponds to my laptop. The seller sold at first the original one but it stopped working then he sent me a different series motherboard and not the original. I contacted him to let him know this but never got a reply. It works but not completely like the original motherboard.

yes it can work in that board but why would you want to use a single core processor, when you can get a e84oo dual core cpu running at 3.02 mhz dirt cheap?

yes all Haswell processors is compatible with this board, but only Haswell not other processor

that cpu is actually socket AM2+, it is still compatible with this motherboard, no issues

It should be compatible. Both the board and the CPU use AM3+ socket. For the incompatibility alert, did you check that you have enough power from the PSU?
