First of all are you sure it is a 4400 as That CPU is not shown anywhere in a Google Search. Assuming that it is part of the 4th generation 4000 series it is an 1150 socket. The i5 7500 is 1151. Next you cannot go from a 4th generation CPU to a 7th generation. And it cannot run just any i5. It would have to be an i5 4th generation. The socket and generation make a huge difference.
Good day, If you could so kindly assist. I have a dell optiplex 3020 that runs an i3 4400 processor with 2x4gb ddr3 sdram. I'd like to know if I can use the i5 7500 on the motherboard. I have already purchased it because I saw that the board can run an i7 and so I assumed it can run any i5. Please assist and tell me if I can use it. Your response is highly appreciated.
Can Dell optiplex 3020 run i5 7500
