Question Can I replace optiplex 990 cpu?

[SexCe]

Will the 990 support i5 4590? Currently it has i7 2600 which I did some research and noticed it’s slower than the i5 4590

Your i7-2600 is a Sandy Bridge based processor in an 1155 socket ... the i5-4590 is a Haswell processor that fits in a 1150 socket. No way you can just drop it in.
