Hey everyone new to the Forums here.
I'm interested in gettting some water cooling for my CPU and GPU. I know that I need to know the correct socket my CPU or GPU is ; How do I go about finding this information out?

The Inspiron 530 motherboard has a socket LGA775, one PCI Express x16 [graphics card] and one PCI Express x1 connector, if the PC was shipped with a Core 2 Duo processor and a 300w PSU, then the motherboard is a Dell 0RY007 [FoxConn G33m02], this motherboard does not support Core 2 Quad processors.
The 530 specifications are HERE<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>

Ps. Your PC is the same as my 530MT, except for the processor, I have a E6320.
