Hello friends! Just have a question, so I currently have this dell inspiron 620 as a work PC right now, I'm just curious if I can upgrade the i3-2120 to a i5-3570

 

I've been doing my research and such, and the chipset says it that it's Sandy Bridge, but I just want to double check before I buy it, that'll it'll be compatible with it

 

Motherboard model is 0GDG8Y.

 

Thanks!

3570 is Ivy bridge
2120 is Sandy bridge

You need a BioS update at best and it's impossible at worst

I have a I5-3570k. It's the best CPU I've ever used. But I'm not sure about pre-built CPU upgrades.
