Need help with some compatibility thingsssss

Trex550 · December 3, 2019

Hello, currently i want to upgrade my CPU but im not sure if its compatible with my motherboard. im aware of it needing to be the right socket and ram clock speeds. however i know sometimes there is compatibility issues beyond that. so. does anyone know if i will be able to change my cpu from an intel i5 3740s to something like an intel i7 of the same socket and memory speed, such as a intel i7 3770k. my motherboard is a dell special which is why im slightly doubting this is even possible. its the 0XFWHV dell motherboard with the most up to date bios i can get for it(A13) (thanks for anyone who can help)

Since they're both third gen, there wouldn't be much reason why it wouldn't work.

Consider an i7 2600, should be a lot cheaper for the same experience
