Is it possible for me to put a Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 in a Dell optiplex because I would like to upgrade my old PC and I have a Intel Core2 Quad Q8200

laying around.

The internet seems to say yes... If you have the chip, try it!

 

By the way, 775 is the socket, not the chipset.

Screwdriver specs: Long, pointy. Turns things. Some kind of metal.

unRAID server:

Xeon  E5-1630v4 |  Asus X99-E WS | 4x8GB G-Skill DDR4 @2400MHz | Samsung 960 EVO 250GB cache drive | 12TB spinning rust | Corsair RM750X

 

FreeNAS server:

AMD something-or-other | Asus prebuilt sadness | 8GB DDR3-1600 | 9TB magnetic storage | Potential fire threat

 

HTPC:

i7-4790 | GTX1650 | Dell Sadness | 12GB DDR3-1600 | Samsung 860 250GB | 1TB magnetic storage | James Loudspeaker SPL3 x2 | Corsair SF450

Yes, Any Core 2 Quad (maybe aside from the Extreme Edition ones) will work a 780.

 

If you can get your hands on a Q6600 instead, I recommend doing so and tape-modding it to 3.0GHz.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
