There are no specs or pin outs provided ever.
If you change your cpu its not covered under the warranty.
4th Generation Intel® Core™ I3, i5, i7 Desktop processors socket 1150 work others don't.
No Idea how you get 99% faster unless you are using the Mhz myth.
I5 4670T will work.

Where can I find the mother board specs for the Inspirion 3847 ? I am thinking about replacing the G3220 with a Core i5-4670T. Specs show it should be 99% quicker than than the present G3220. I want to confirm the MB can handle the chip.

(If you change your cpu its not covered under the warranty.) Don't care about the warranty, it was a cheap pc so that is not an issue.
(No Idea how you get 99% faster unless you are using the Mhz myth.) This was simply quoted on this site, cpu-upgrade.com. If it is true,fine if not oh well. They listed about 40 chips that might work in a 1150 slot.
I have added a video card, 8 gb Ram, and the machine is still a bit slow. So for $200 bucks appears to be a simple and cheap/easy upgrade to a quicker machine.
Any other suggestions ?

Posting just to be posting is not encouraged.
There is no such model I5 4790k
Core I7 4790k works fine. But wont be covered under warranty.

Ah I see my mistake. However the Generation and Socket 1150 are the important part.
Its wierd that socket 1156 and 1155 are OLDER than 1150 and the latest 2011 goes the other way with more pins. The issue remains that all of the questions were answered over a year ago.
