Processors for Motherboard

Question

Curious why a dell rep cannot tell me which processors will work on their own product; other than the reasoning not purchased from them.

Hopefully someone can assist.

I have a Refurbished Dell TXP27 Motherboard.

PPID# CN0TXP27486432230050

Has 4 Dimm Memory slots, with Nvidia GeFroce 555M GB

The question-is there a list of processors that will work with this motherboard.

Basically upgrading a burned out XPS 702X laptop.

Dell has tested XPS L702X with the Intel Core i7-2820QM, 2.3 GHz without any issues. So it might work. You may find detailed information about the type of sockets and the kind of processors they support from the link: http://bit.ly/56vf91

Hope you find this information helpful.

Dude, this helps a lot. So even if the socket is different? I was getting confused as I read the sockets and mine is rPGA989, however, I was informed some will 988B and others will still work.

this helps a bunch!

Ηι Richard K.,

Socket G/rPGA 989 sockets can take Socket G1/rPGA 988A or Socket G2/rPGA 988B packaged processors. For more information on this, you may refer to link: http://bit.ly/Vje7Am

You might want to look at the other parameters (like power requirements, TDP) before upgrading the processors.

These sockets are confusing and I did read the same exact article.  In the case of the i7 2820QM it fits socket FCPGA988.  Not sure if compatible?  You are a great help.  I truly appreciate.
