will this cpu work in my dell optiplex 745 mini tower? if so do I have to upgrade the heatsink?

I didn't have to change my heatsink for this upgrade on my Dell Dimension E520, but it had a dual core when it was new. The only restriction would be if your motherboard is designed to take this processor. I looked up my motherboard and found this was as high as it would support.

The only way to know for sure Iis to call or email Dell. They know the motherboard specs. The standard Intel heatsink/fan should work---mine did.

That's hard to say. I have an Intel motherboard, so I went to Intel's website to find the fastest CPU my motherboard would handle. You could perhaps try to contact Dell customer support and ask them.

Yes it will. I'm using it in a Dell Optiplex 780 which is nearly identical and it works beautifully. Windows 7 WEI score of 5.6 for Aero Graphics and 6.9 for Gaming Graphics.

I used it in a Dell Optiplex 455 SFF - if your system is anything like what I have, you should have no problems - hope this helps..

NO. I put it into a Dell 1420 with 667 MHz bus speed on the motherboard. Check your motherboard bus speed and use that as a guide for replacement.

Mine worked like a champ, but I don't have a dell, it was built from scratch. Make sure the motherboard is compatible. There are programs on the internet that will give you a breakdown of all the inner parts.

My son's computer is a Dell Inspiron 5315, which is what I bought it for. But the Dell site does say it should work with the Optiplex 745. One thing you might want to think about, when I took this memory to Best Buy to have it installed (I have a service contract with them so that was a free service), they told me I could have also bought the 4 GB kit (2GBx2) to max out the memory. This 4 GB set was also available here on Amazon for about five bucks more if I remember correctly. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. The memory that I bought was for server, which has "error correction" feature (ECC). Optiplex 755 should use just regular desktop DDR2 memory (example like this http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-800MHz-PC2-6300-PC2-6400-Desktop/dp/B004LT6O56/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1431600736&sr;=1-4)

This EVGA GT 610 has a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 connector. If I remember correctly, your Optiplex 745 has one PCI-Express x16 slot, so this video card should work for you. NOTE: you can only hook up one DVI-D monitor (Dual link, which supports Dell's 30" monitor in the max resolution). The other DVI port can only go up to 1080P.

I have an OptiPlex 745 with a Pentium (R) D CPU 3.4O GhZ. It has a 64 bit operating system..JF Shepardshepardj@optonline.net

Yes, make sure to update to the newest bios before installing CPU and apply a very good quality of thermal compound to CPU. Thanks, Discount18

Sorry, this Dell PC is just too old. Not compatable with newer CPU,s Its time to retire this machine. Dont waste your time and money on trying to upgrade this PC

Hi. This fan was purchased for an Intel dual-core E5200 CPU. You must verify that your Dell computer has an Intel 775 CPU´s pin-out arrangement, and anyway go to ThermalTake webpage (Google search) and check compatibility. There must be a catalog there or something. Cheers!!

No, you need a 533MHz DDR2 with a max of 2GB per slot. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/opti_745techspecs.pdf

Yes, I had my installed in the 745 Optiplex desktop version, which is smaller than the minitower.

Yes it will work. The key thing is that the mounting pins on the fan must match the pre-drilled holes in the motherboard. Motherboards and CPU's are specified by (among other things) their "socket" or "LGA number". In the case of the Dell Dimension 4700 the socket for the Pentium 4 CPU is LGA 775. The Thermaltake Intel 775 Fan is a match for that motherboard.

Any standard heat sink will work for it. I just transferred my stock Dell heat sink. I usually don't worry about what heat sink I'm using until I upgrade the processor. The board went in my back up pc that has a FX 4130.

Yes, as well as any other LGA 1155 based board. All you have to do is match the LGA socket requirements (1155 in this case) between any CPU and motherboard then you're good to go.
