![]() ![]() So much dust was removed that I was looking forward to seeing how much lower the CPU operating temperatures would be. This may well be related to the fact that, when I changed the CPU, I thoroughly cleaned years of dust from both the heatsink and its fan The reason I suspected it wasn't functioning is because its operation has mysteriously become extremely silent. Well, in fact the CPU fan is working perfectly so the absence of CPU thermal indicators has not affected this fan and you have already explained why it shouldn't. However, I have not stressed the computer nor have I done any benchmarking. Certainly the computer boots faster and casual browsing seems brisker. Whether or not the SL9DA outperforms the stock E6300 is still up for debate. Perhaps you could advise me how I can be sure whether my CPU is supported or not as my googling attempts have not yielded a definitive answer. However, why would it be excluded as it's not that old (CPU SL9DA released 2005, BIOS 2.4.0 released 2007) However, I'm not sure that this list is exhaustive. I believe the Intel SL9DA would be classed as Presler P4 915 which indeed doesn't appear in this list. I found this list of BIOS 2.4.0 supported CPU's which include the following That's interesting that the Dell BIOS 2.4.0 may not support the Intel SL9DA Pentium D 2.80GHz 4M 800 Socket 775 Processor.
