Maximum cpu upgrade for Optiplex GX620 USFF ?
Hi, does anyone know if an Intel® Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition 840 will work in a GX620 ultra small form factor? I have one from a pull from a dead Precision 380. If not, would it work in a GX620 minitower (bigger heatsink, etc)? Thanks in advance. Here's a link to the processor: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8FK#

My 945-SL9QQ Bios A11 didn't start. No diagnostic light just fan.

None of the High end CPUs will workon usff because the POWER SUPPLY is too small and the faster cpu's used the Copper block heatpipe heatsink
not the aluminum one.

Better Heatsink does not make a 150 to 180W power supply suddenly provide 375W of power.

That's a Wolfdale CPU and it won't work in the GX620.

I hear even the old E6300 (Conroe) is not compatible with the GX620.
I'm planning on finding this out for myself.
