Question 1

will this work with the DP67BG P67 LGA 1155 Core i5 i7 ATX Motherboard- DP67BGB3 mother board?

Accepted Answer

It should work.  "Intel Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool" at processormatch intel com with BoardName=DP67BG shows i5-3570.
(I could not show you the URL, because this Q and A system does not allow me to include links to other sites unfortunately).

Question 2

Does this package include a stock fan ?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does, it also has thermal paste already applied...

Question 3

Can someone explain the difference between this and the i5 3570k?

Accepted Answer

An Intel CPU with a K at the end is multiplier unlocked. It means that you can change the multiplier settings but only if you have a motherboard that allows you to do it in the BIOS.

Question 4

Using a GA-P67A-D3-B3 gigabyte motherboard requiring a LGA1155 socket.  Is this processor OK to use with this motherboard?

Accepted Answer

The specs seem fine.  As, Kenichi M suggested, checking the website is a good idea.  You may find that the mohterboard requires a BIOS upgrade before it will work properly.

Question 5

What wattage power supply does this need?

Accepted Answer

Wattage of power supply needed depends on mobo, CPU, RAM, video adapter, sound card, number and type of hard drives, number of optical drive, and amount of other peripherials in the computer. This particular CPU only requires 77W at 100% utilization. Newegg has a power supply calculator available on the site to let you figure minimum power supply size.

Question 6

Two questions, I want to overclock this CPU just a tiny bit, maybe to 3.5, will it allow me?
And, does this come with a tube of thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

it depends on your motherboard. if you just use your computer for the normal thing, you don't have to overclock the cpu. you never use it in the full performance.

if you use you computer for some complex calculation or processing of data (such as Matlab, Auto CAD.), i suggest you change your memory and buy a SSD.

In this day , i think the performance of cpu is overplus. people never have a time to let it works "High and hard".

Question 7

Does this CPU support Blu ray reading and writing?

Accepted Answer

The CPU isn't really involved in reading/writing via optical drives. Any CPU will work as long as your optical drive supports blu ray.

Question 8

I currently have an Sandy Bridge, Can I put this in to replace it?

Motherboard - Dell OXR1GT

Accepted Answer

According to Dell, the "OXR1GT" motherboard, in the 'Inspiron 660', is an LGA1155 socket, so physical compatibility is there; but motherboards frequently need BIOS updates to support newer CPUs. It'll fit, and nothing will catch fire; but I'm afraid I can't say whether Dell updated what they needed to to make it work properly.

If you do try; be sure to flash the absolute newest BIOS you can get before swapping CPUs.

Question 9

Is this just for desktop?

Accepted Answer

really really good and worth the money and you can save like 30-50 bucks by just getting the 3570 and not the 3570k. The only difference is the integrated graphics and if you have a dedicated card isnt necessary

Question 10

can I put this in a dell latitude 5480?

Accepted Answer

Socket to socket. Check you CPU windows System Info that will tell you CPU and then check on Intel site. That's what I do telling me latitude 5480 might have come with CPU options.
