Processor replacement

[korso]

Hey all,

My Grandparents computer has a fried Processor, wondering if someone could link me to the equivalent replacement on the OCUK website, in the sticks right now and its painfully slow to browse the site, cheers!

INTEL CORE i7-3770s
SR0PN 3.10GHZ
3307B108

How did the cpu get fried?

Being a S model do you know what the psu is being used.

PSU is a Corsair CX 500W. No idea how, my Grandad has a talent for breaking the unbreakable, but swapped it out with an i7 3770k from my micro and it works fine with that.

CPU below will be fine:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i3-3240 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £85.99
Total : £94.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).

Cheaper than I thought! Thank you!

A fair bit slower also, is that ok?

Edit, ignore me. Theres not a huge amount in it.

If it's that there's a huge difference?

That's nowhere near the same as a 3770S. The i3-3240 has only got two physical cores for a start, vs the 3770S's four, it has inferior onboard graphics, doesn't support PCI Express 3.0, and more. Check out this comparison link.

I expect OCUK could get the 3770S as a special order. If not, it's readily available elsewhere for a bit over £200.

I am fully aware of the comparison between the two cpu's, I mist the bit about the comparable cpu but the system being used for a older generation the i3 should be fine.

Alternate cpu would be the 3770 below:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-3770 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £209.99
Total : £219.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Just thought I'd say we ended up buying him a tablet and keyboard instead. All he really does is Skype with family spread across world, play some Solitaire / card games and some occasional word / excel.

Thanks all
