Dell OEM board, Chipset H57: is i7 870 / xeon x3470 going to work?

[csandreas1]

I have a DELL pre-built pc with an i5 650 cpu and i want to upgrade to a better cpu mostly for gaming, since i get cpu bottlenecked in most games, even in cs go (my gpu is rx 460). I have found those three to be really good but i am not 100% sure if they are compatible with my board since in the website it only shows that supports i3 and i5. Can i update the bios and use the xeon? Also i have checked chipset cpu support website and i have found all the i5 and i7 first gen to be compatible but not xeon.

Intel H57 Express chipset processor support
.

My motherboard details:

Manufacturer Dell Inc.
Model 0C2KJT (CPU 1)
Version A00
Chipset Vendor Intel
Chipset Model Havendale/Clarkdale Host Bridge
Chipset Revision 18
Southbridge Vendor Intel
Southbridge Model H57
Southbridge Revision 06

BIOS
Brand Dell Inc.
Version A07
Date 13-Nov-10


Links of the processors:
Intel core i5 760
Intel xeon X3460
Intel Xeon X3470
i7 870

User Benchmark comparison.

Also are those used parts from aliexpress good? Why are they so cheap?

EDIT:

I confirm that xeon x3470 works on my DELL Inspiron 580 with motherboard Dell 0C2KJT and bios date 20101113

Here is the benchmark i did comparing the i5 650 and Xeon x3470:

hello do you know if the x3470 is compatible to with the asus p7h55 (just p7h55 model with no ¨m¨ o any letter behind)?? im about to improve my i3-540, i was thinking in the i5-670 but i realize that x3440 is better and cheaper and x3470 much better for the same price that the i5. so will it work? will i have any energy problem or somthing?
here my motherboard link https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P7H55/specifications/

thx guys

You know this thread is almost a year old, right?

Anyway, to answer your question, yes the X3440 and X3470 should work in that board, since it supports the i7-800 series chips on which it is based.

The X3400 CPUs will draw more power and produce more heat than your old i3-540 (95W vs 73W), so make sure your CPU cooler can handle the extra heat.

As for power, that depends on your PSU more than the motherboard. That board has a 4+1 phase VRM, so if you're overclocking, maybe don't go too crazy with voltages, but it will handle a Lynnfield just fine. What PSU do you have? I can't imagine it would be a problem unless it's really low wattage or a dodgy design.

I would recommend to look at cpu.userbenchmark.com for real user benchmarks and find if your motherboard runs the cpu you want

hello, thankss , my PSU is 600w ,
my cooler is: https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/freezer-7-pro-rev-2.html
And i can not test the build on cpu.userbenchmark becouse my motherboard model does not appear in the list, i can find the p7h55-m mine is just p7h55, i cant see what is the diference
by the way i have only 4 GB kingston 1333 ram memory, but i can add 8 more

I have a 2a9ch h57 1156 motherboard I wonder if this motherboard works xeon 3440

There are X3470 running on that here.
