CPU upgrade for Optiplex 760

Thanks that's really useful. So how do I work out which CPUs I can put in?

Specifically which CPUs can I use which support VT-x?

Thanks

peteraymond,

The Optiplex 760MT uses two motherboards -
T674K Non-Quad core CPU motherboard
U562N Quad core CPU motherboard

You have the 1st one so you cannot use a quad core CPU on it.

38G73 E7400, 2.8GHz, 3MB, WFD, R0, (With VT)
F31F5 E7500, 2.93GHz, 3MB, WFD, R0, (With VT)
06YMG Wolfdale Dual Core E7600, 3.06GHz, 3MB, 65W, R0, (With VT)
H399J Wolfdale Dual Core E8400, 3.0GHz, 6MB, 65W, E0, 1333FSB
D923J Wolfdale Dual Core E8500, 3.16GHz, 6MB, 65W, E0, 1333FSB
N654J Wolfdale Processor E8600, 3.33GHz

What about G214D?

What are the validated CPU's???

Also is a larger power supply than the 305W unit required when using Quad Core CPU in the Smith Tower.

Is there a copper heatpipe Heatsink?  Looks like the precision 380/390/XPS 410/420 heatsink.

I also have a  Dell OptiPlex 760SFF and need to replace CPU. How can I find the socket info and CPU limitations. THANKS

I have a 760 SFF [ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy].  Can you please advise if this system has the motherboard which will support a Core2  Quad Q9400?  Thank you!

I'd also like to upgrade my processor, if I give you my service tag can you let me know which processor to buy?
