    Hello,

     

    Here are the original processors of Aspire XC3300:

    KC.AE202.400CPU.ATHII.400e/2.2G/3x512K/45W
    KC.AT202.215CPU.ATH2.215/2.7G/2X512K/65W
    KC.AT202.620CPU.ATH.620/2.6G/4x512K/95W
    KC.PH202.710CPU.PHEN2.710/2.6G/1.5M/95W/C2
    KC.PH202.720CPU.PHEN2.720/2.8G/1.5M/95W/C2
    KC.PH202.805CPU.PHEN II.805/2.5G/2M/95W/C2
    KC.PH202.810CPU.PHEN II.810/2.6G/2M/95W/C2
    KC.PH202.910CPU.PHEN II.910/2.6G/95W/C2
    KC.PH202.925CPU.PHEN II.925/2.8G/95W/C3

    It's the same heatsink for all processors and the same PSU of 220W.

    Hi,thank you for the information.

    Can I use either Athlon2 CPU or Phenom CPU in this model with same fan and heatsink?

    is my CPU then the highest speed and cores for this model?

    I saw in the download section of this model an option to download BIOS for 6 cores CPU!!!is that relevant to upgrade the cpu?

    thank you.

    Processor:
    • AMD Phenom II X4 925/910/810/805 processor
    • AMD Phenom II X3 720/710 processor
    So it looks to me like the Phenom II X4 925 is best
