Not sure what cpu to buy Lga 775 T socket

[SlasherSquid01]

Just bought a dell computer with a gtx 670 and a dell inc motherboard 0tp412. I think i can put in a xeon cpu but I don't want to bottleneck the gtx 670. Anyone have any clue what xeon cpu is compatible and won't bottleneck my gpu?

I think the Intel Core2 Extreme X9770 would be the best gaming oriented CPU you can get for that socket.

Is that compatible with my motherboard?

 

[SlasherSquid01]

Nu screw that. They are going for like 200$ on ebay, any other cpus?

 

[richiestang_78]

Not sure where you looked but I saw a couple fro around 50 dollars. Anyway here is a list of compatible CPUS

It says "the page does not exist." Can u also send me a link where you saw it for 50$

 

[richiestang_78]

For some reason the cpu-world link isn't including the (LGA775) part in the hot link, just copy and past the whole link and it'll work

Oh found this https://www.game-debate.com/motherboard/index.php?mot_id=3795&cpuList=Dell%200tp412. Is it accurate?

 

[SlasherSquid01]

Thats a bid.

I found this from another topic from CompuTronix

QX9775, QX9770 and QX9650 are early C0 Stepping Revision, which do not overclock as well as the Q9650, which is later E0 Stepping Revision, and overclocks to 4.2 GHz.

Here is the PassMark CPU score of the Q9650 overclocked @ 4.2 GHz compared to newer processors with similar scores:

i5 6400 - 6,550
i5 3450 - 6,448
i5 2500K - 6,438
i5 4440 - 6,404
Q9650 @ 4.2 - 6,342
FX6300 - 6,330
i5 2500 - 6,232
i7 975 - 6,214
i5 3340 - 5,998

The key to getting the best performance from LGA 775 Quad Core processors is overclocking.

Also, the P45 Chipset does not support more than 8 GB of DDR2 memory.

yea i guess the Q9650 will be alright https://thebottlenecker.com/calculator

 

[richiestang_78]

You are trying to buy a CPU for a 15 year old socket, most likely you will have to rely on bids. You can also see if you have any local computer parts stores that deal in used stuff.

Actually will this work?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-X5450-3-0GHz-quad-core-processor-compatible-LGA775-ultra-Q9550-Q9650/163289253734?hash=item2604cc4766:rk:1f:0

Its 20$ cheaper than the Q9650.

 

[SlasherSquid01]

So should i go with the Q9650 or the one above?

 

[richiestang_78]

I would get the Q9650, I believe some boards wont actually support Xeons.

Alright ty
