My Optiplex 755 MT has an E8400 CPU. Can it be upgraded to the quad Q9650? I checked my pdf manual, but E8400 isn't listed in it either. I also checked other forums herein, but I didn't find one mentioning Q9650. It has the same LGA 775 socket type.
I checked and it shouldn't be hard to take my word for it. I saw that same posting, but only saw the Q6600 some for reason, probably tired.
There's also a glitch with images. If I'm signed in, most images don't show. If I sign out, the site backs up to initial Dell Community screen. So if I go back where I was, I have to have ways of remembering, like if it's a newer posting I can find right away or bookmark it. I can't always tell when I'm not seeing images while signed in, especially if some show and some not. I know about the image indicator.
I want to be secure after hours of reading, because although the SFF shares all yours features with DT, aren't the same (I believe), and I haven't read in any way about customization for this model (DT). So... :
The best configuration without any dangerous hack for the Dell Optiplex 775 (DT, not SFF) can be the next? (The steps are ):
1. Upgrade the BIOS to the last version. (A22 actually) (done)
2. Upgrade the power supply to +500W. (waiting...)
good day! I have a DELL optiplex 755 SFF PC. It has a 275W power supply, 8GB of RAM at 800mhz, BIOS updated to A22, 500GB of SATA Hard Drive and has a Core 2 Quad Q8400 processor at 2.66Ghz, 95w and 1333mhz bus speed. I want to upgrade my processor to the Core 2 Quad Q9650. My question is ... if I can upgrade my processor to Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650? I would appreciate your answer.
to everyone in this thread, and specifically bradthetechnut (encouragement) and speedstep (need to speak softly in case you have to eat your words), I have a bunch of Opti 755 USFF with not only a QX9650 and 16GB of ram, but the original PSU as well, and they have been running that way for years. I actually have them running Windows Server 2016, too.
Give me a way to post the pictures of the BIOS screens, in case you want proof.
Dell often publishes a ram spec of half the actual supported amount.

Only LOW DENSITY ram works so Not sure what you mean by High Density.
Intel Chipset boards REQUIRE Low Density Ram.
AMD and NVIDIA chipset boards sometimes support high density ram.
The only power supply that can be upgraded is on the Tower. You cannot put a standard power supply in SFF or Desktop.
1050 TI is 75W and not working. Desktop is clearly marked on the X16 slot with 25W max.
