Dell optiplex 3040

Hello everyone . I just wan to ask , can pentium g4560 run in dell optiplex 3040 ?

Possibly, but I'm not sure why you'd want to. I don't think the 3040 ships with anything less than an i5, so the Pentium would be a huge downgrade?

EDIT: I'm fairly certain it has a 1xx chipset, maybe H110, so it should support 7th gen chips such as the Pentium so long as Dell has provided an updated BIOS that adds support for them.

Actually i want to sell the dell optiplex , so i want to swap with my cpu . Now the dell using i5 6500 . Better i swap with my g4560 .

Check with Dell and see if they have provided a BIOS with updated CPU support.

Why are you selling it, if you don't mind my asking? It has a latest-gen socket and should support a Skylake i7 if you felt you needed that performance.

I already check from dell website . Its support 6gent cpu .

My bro doesnt want to use it anymore . So he gave it to me . I want to use i5 6500 in my gaming rig . So i want swap my g4560 with i5 6500 . And sell the dell pc to upgrade my rig . Do u prefer g4560 or i5 6500 for my gaming rig ?

The i5 6500 is a far, far better chip. They're not even in the same league.

u prefer i5 then g4560?

The i5 6500 is a far better chip. Both are based on the same architecture, but the i5 is clocked 100mhz higher but has 4 cores instead of 2 cores + HT, and 6mb of cache instead of 3mb.
