i purchased one of the hp compaq elite 8300 cmt computers here on ebay and then upgraded the processor from an i5 to an i7. 1155 lga easy no pins to bend on the cpu. just pop open the socket and replace the cpu and close the socket. 3.2 ghz to 3.4 ghz really easy to upgrade. and this was a resonable price range cpu. it works. ive had no problem with it.

This was a major upgrade on HP Compaq 6300 Pro SFF that came with Pentium G640. Simple and easy install so also results are very quick. I used Artick MX5 thermal paste, even without fan on temperature didn't go beyond 54C and with fan at controlled speeds it ran at between 26C and 31C. I wanted to disconnect fan from .otherboard so did try to measure and results are good with this processor.

You really feel the difference! I changed the processor that I had, which was an i5-3470, for this one and in daily tasks and in heavy tasks such as gaming, video editing and more. The extra threads are noticeable. Since the pc goes so much faster. So far, I haven't had any problems. Definitely a recommended upgrade!

The piece arrived as was described. Installation was difficult only because I hadn't torn down my the specific type of cooler for the cpu before, and that is because of my experience rather than the actual item. After getting the chip into the socket, and putting everything back together, everything worked like a charm!

If your older board can support this processor then it's a great choice to breathe new life into your older computer. Worked out great for my 11 year old Intel board.
