Hi, I have a hp pavilion slimline s5206uk pc, it has a 775 socket. I was wondering what the best cpu would be for it that I can buy use for cheap and one that will use as little power as possible since I have a 220watt psu?

"Socket type: 775
Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield) series
Core 2 Duo E8xxx (Wolfdale) series
Core 2 Duo E7xxx (Wolfdale) series
Intel Pentium E5xxx with Dual Core Technology (Wolfdale) series
Celeron Dual Core E1xx0 (Conroe) series
Celeron 4xx (Conroe) series"

the c2q chips require 95W
the e8xxx is a 65W chip

Do you currently have an LGA775 CPU cooler that is rated to handle a CPU with a TDP of 65W or greater?

Technically, you're probably not limited to the 65W CPUs, since the upgrade information (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01857670) technically only says "Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield) series", which come in both 65W & 95W options. But, if you're worried about the CPU wattage, your best bets are the Q9450S & Q9550S: both move you up from a 2C/2T CPU to a 4C/4T CPU, you get a lot more L2 cache (12MB vs. 2MB), & you'll be running about as fast as before (2.67/2.83GHz vs. 2.6GHz).

The major slowdown is going to be the integrated graphics (Intel GMA 4500) that's built into the motherboard. That is way down on the hierarchy (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html) -- we're talking about the equivalent of AMD's super-old Radeon 9000 series or their Radeon X1000 series (i.e. pre-Radeon HD 2000). I don't know if Fortnite will even run on that, let alone run that well. You've got a PCIe x16 slot for a graphics card update (assuming you don't already have 1 running)...but a) you run the risk of being limited to low-profile GPUs in that case, & b) with a 220W OEM PSU, you're definitely limited to GPUs that only draw from the PCI slot. If you can, see if you can find a GT 1030 or possibly even a low-power GTX 1050; barring that, a low-power GTX 950 or an older GTX 750TI is probably the best you can do without a PSU upgrade.

get 9550 $ 30 - $40 from ebay, pair it 1030,1050
you should be able to run fortnite on min settings.

i have tried pubg on a q9550 system with a better gpu, i would say it's playable on very low, getting about 30-50 fps. at 3.4Ghz, oc

gma 4500 can't handle fortnite for sure, it's okay for sc and wc3.

the reason why I said I wanna get a 65W cpu is because I'm planning on getting a ft 1030, getting a 95W cpu might push the psu too much.But will I be able to run a 95W cpu with the GT 1030. Also, what equipment do I need to do this upgrade?

not sure about what you mean by equipments?

tools, you will likely need a flat head/ Phillips head screwdriver,
some thermal grease / compound.

in terms of hardware you need a low profile gt 1030 and a LGA 775 CPU of your choosing.

you can clean the heatsink/CPU of thermal paste with coffee filters and rubbing alcohol.
when removing or reapplying thermal paste use a lint free material like coffee filters. do not apply paste to old paste, thoroughly remove all old paste before applying new.

Do I need the paste? What happens if I don't put it in or don't remove it from the heatsink? Also, I checked using coolermasyer psu power checker, it says that a core 2 quad q9400 with gt 1030 will make my total usage 235W, my psu is only 220W and I don't think I can upgrade it coz it's proprietary.

ypu need paste, if you don't care have your setup looks you can get a normal size psu and run it outside of the computer case. then you can get a cheap one up to 400~500w and do w/e you want, psu is proprietary means the dimension is proprietary, all connectors are still standard atx stuff.

mating a heatsink to a CPU without paste is a sure way to cook the CPU. you will need paste if you reuse the cooler. if you get a new cooler or a CPU with a cooler it will have the requisite paste pre-applied/packaged.

CPU 95W
GPU 35W
I highly doubt you are running 100W on the motherboard ram and drives.

HP slimline PSUs are available at higher wattages
example only not an endorsement shop around

everytime you take off CPU heat sink off, you need to clean the contacting surface on both cpu and cpu heat sink. with rubbing alcohol and some q tip.
you can get any psu to make the computer work, however most of them don't fit in your case. but you can power all your component without any issue.

old paste has to go and new paste installed.
new paste from a tube or pre-applied to a new heatsink but it HAS to be NEW paste.

the paste when installed is fluid and will flow readily finding all the nooks and crannies. when heat is applied it will cure, thicken, harden, solidify, and once removed all the nooks will not match with the crannies and you will have air pockets - again cooking the CPU.

if the paste is thick scrape off what you can and use rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth to remove any remaining traces of old paste. the CPU will likewise need to be cleaned if not already.
install the CPU into the socket
apply paste to the CPU center, small pea size drop
apply heatsink to the CPU, gently press down - forcing the thermal paste to flow from the center of the CPU- and secure the cooler to the motherboard. the retention mechanism will further apply pressure flowing the paste.
do not remove the cooler once it is mated to the CPU, doing so could create air pockets in the paste inhibiting its ability.

Your PSU is not proprietary. It is a TFX12V form factor PSU.
