Intel Core i7-3770 Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1155 Processor - BX80637I73770 (Renewed)

i7-3770 (NOT i7-3770K!) Works perfect for what I bought it for, a Dell Inspiron 660 that had an i3 in it. Chipset and BIOS update would allow it to take double the amount of ram Dell said it could, and also allows for this CPU to double it's speed. Has onboard graphics, although I wanted the Xeon version, but this one was available without ordering from Chyna. Double the price, but worth it. If running this type of upgrade, replace stock CPU cooler, if it hasn't been done already, this will generate a little more heat and you'll avoid the thermal tax. Runs around 35C at idle, 55C under a full stress test, well under it's thermal throttle threshold with a new CPU cooler.

Si al ponerlo la pc no quiere prender o se apaga por que no reconoce el procesador eso me paso quiten la memoria RAM esperen un rato y la ponen otra ves eso me funcionó a mi espero les allude

It works perfectly and I didn’t realize it came with some thermal paste in a small gray bag which is nice but I made my own using petroleum jelly and toothpaste haha and temps are perfect.

I have a desktop computer that I built myself using an ASUS P8Z77-VLX motherboard. That motherboard is 12 years old. However, I still like this computer. I had previously upgraded it to Windows 10 and to the maximum 32 GB of RAM and wanted to know what else I could do to prolong the life of this PC. While browsing Amazon, I came across an Intel Core i7-3770 Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770 (Renewed). After doing a little research, I concluded that this CPU was compatible with the motherboard on my PC. Furthermore, given that it was renewed, the price was very reasonable. Given the inexpensive price, I had nothing to lose by trying this CPU and everything to gain. I am not a PC expert, just someone who experiments from time to time. That's what I did when I built this PC. It has served me well and is still performing. I like to work with many windows open, so I have surround display, using multiple monitors. Over time, leaving many windows open tends to cause a drag on the computer. Upgrading to the maximum RAM helped, but I wanted as much speed and capacity as possible. A brief search on YouTube provided me with an instruction video on how to install the CPU. It required removing the CPU cooler, changing out the CPU, and reconnecting the CPU cooler. The whole process took about 10 minutes. Since upgrading from the previous i5 CPU to this i7 CPU, I have noticed a significant difference in PC performance. The upgrade cost me about $60 because the CPU was refurbished or Amazon Renewed. Lastly, upgrading from the i5 CPU to the i7 CPU did not require a Bios upgrade because the computer was already running the most up-to-date version of the Bios. So, if you've got an old PC like I have, and you want to continue using it for a while, it's worth upgrading the processor, especially if you can find an Amazon-renewed version available. For a small investment, you can get better performance and give new life to your old PC. I definitely recommend it.

Works great would buy again but can find cheaper elsewhere
