I would like to know which one of the two cpu's would be best for the Dell Optiplex 3020 Micro? - Intel Core i3-4170T Processor 3M Cache, 3.20 GHz http://ark.intel.com/products/81209/Intel-Core-i3-4170T-Processor-3M-Cache-3_20-GHz - Intel Core i3-4360T Processor 4M Cache, 3.20 GHz...

I used the OEM disk and the product key from the sticker. My guess is that the sticker is for a retail copy and not OEM.

It installed it without a problem but the product on the system and sticker are different (checked it with Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder). I tried to changing the product key using Microsoft's recommended steps, just to make sure that the product key on the sticker is legit but it doesn't work.

I bought one of these discs on eBay (Part No. 0P949K) and inside the CD envelope there was also a product key sticker. The sticker isn't for the Windows XP Pro 64 bit but for Windows XP Pro 32 bit. Do the Dell reinstallation disc's come with a product key sticker? Is this a pirated copy? It...

I didn't find anything about cooler upgrade either. The cooler in the Optiplex 790 SFF is the same one that you see in the "Dell OptiPlex 790 Owner's Manual", which isn't small.

I bought the i7-2600 used (no cooler was included) and the system does have the latest BIOS (A18). The temp does show that it wasn't overheating, so I'm suspecting the it might be defective. I'm just going to return it.

If your talking about the fan, I'm still using the same fan from the i3 to the i7. No cooler. I think I fixed the fan problem by reseting the CPU. I removed the CMOS battery and unplugging the pc, then turned it on again. The fan speed seems to have lowered, especially when I go into the BIOS...

I Installed a new cpu (from i3-2130 to i7-2600), now the cpu fan speeds up drastically when I go into the BIOS settings. The pc is a Dell Optiplex 790 SFF. This hasn't happened before, so I would like to know what can I do to fix this? Is the new cpu defective? Or what?

From your response, I can that your feelings got hurt but this has nothing to do about your ego. It does have everything to do about giving out correct information. The question was never answered and yet your answer was awarded "Best Solution". That's not right and very misleading; the...

I spoke to an Intel engineer in regards to this and he confirmed that replacing the motherboard with one that doesn't have vPro embedded is the only way to remove vPro. That's the resolution to my question because I asked how to remove and NOT disable it.
