I wasn’t looking to spend that much... I was looking for the cheap way out lol. But everything else on it is fine

I know all the lists show that it can only support i7 processors officially. I have a i7 920 in it now. My question is would I be able to upgrade my cpu to a Xeon w3680. My bios version is A11. I’m just unsure of if it’ll work. Spend the $60 usd on the Xeon W3680 Or spend $150 usd on a...

thats okay, it just seems like the i7 920 is lagging behind a bit

thank you, ill have to check what version of the bios i am running. Its one of the old alienware arouras so i dont think itll be able to unfortunately... think itll run hot or should be about the same? also if it is compatible do you think its worth the upgrade for 90 bucks

i have a alienware desktop and want to upgrade my cpu. it uses the lga1366 socket and would like to put a xeon x5690. would the water cooler it has be enough to keep this processor cool? its running with a i7 920 at the moment

Well how would I got about over clocking my 920? It says I'm running at 2.67ghz but in the bios it says 3.4ghz as the overclock but it doesn't change anything

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. My Alienware Aroura has a i7 920, 12gb ram, and a gtx 970. I want to upgrade the i7 920 to a i7 980x. Would I be able to use the cooler already in my computer? It's a Alienware water cooling system. And if so how much hotter would it run? Thank you guys...

Max is 69C and min is 40C running temp is about 41C

How much of a difference would I see in performance and temps?

Will I be able to use the same cooler? I like the one I have since it's water cooled. I was just wondering if I upgrade from the 920 to the 970 if I could use the same cooler? Thanks in advance!

Will my same cpu cooler work? It's water cooled and I don't want to have to change it. And will it work with my board also?

Thank you guys for the help! I will istall the card later tonight. Thanks again!

Sadly i only have windows 7 untimate. Will it still be the same? thanks

Hi everyone. i know this is a repeat but i have alienware aurora with a radeon 4870 gpu and i wanted to switch to my gtx 970. It doesn't have onboard graphics so how will i go about switching? wont uninstalling the drivers make my card not work and therefore cant install my 970? Thanks in advance!!
