[NAME]  Un supported due to power supply and motherboard regulator issues. Other Dell models like Inspiron 530 for example have 350W power supply when there is a quad core cpu. Even Optiplex 755 models require 305W power supply for core 2 quads. The  DT SFF USFF power supply does not support Quads.

Hi everyone I'm considering an upgrade for this pc but i'm not sure if it could actually do it. The system has a 235W power supply and i'm not sure if it could cope with the demand that I will be asking. Currently the cpu is an Core 2 Duo E8400 and i'm looking for a Core 2 Quad of some sort but these all have at least 95W of TDP compared to the 65W of the current one. Does anyone know if this will work? Below are some screenshots of CPU-Z of the system if that helps. Greets Lander       [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE]
