Revive, upgrade, or build out your legacy high-performance workstation and X58 enthusiast platform. Replace a failing processor or boost your multi-threaded computing capability with this verified, original OEM Intel Core i7 desktop processor. Harvested directly from an authenticated desktop system donor, this genuine CPU delivers robust quad-core performance, hyper-threading support, and reliable operation on socket LGA1366 motherboards.
This is a Genuine Intel OEM Desktop Processor, pulled directly from an authenticated system donor machine. Using original factory CPUs is essential for vintage enthusiast builds, home labs, and legacy gaming rigs; verified OEM processors ensure full instruction set compatibility, proper thermal management behavior, and seamless BIOS handshake without microcode mismatch errors.
⚠️ CRITICAL INSTALLATION NOTICE
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION / LGA1366 COMPATIBILITY RECOMMENDED:
Socket Compatibility: Ensure your motherboard features an Intel LGA1366 socket and an Intel X58 (or compatible server-grade) chipset with a BIOS version supporting Bloomfield generation processors.
Pin & Pad Care: Never touch the gold contact pads on the underside of the processor. Lower the CPU carefully into the socket alignment grooves to avoid bending delicate motherboard socket pins.
Thermal Compound & Cooling: A high-performance CPU cooler with adequate thermal paste application is required to maintain safe operating temperatures.
Risk: Self-installation is performed entirely at your own risk.
Condition Note: Safe-Pull Inspected
⚠️ PRE-OWNED HARVEST COMPLIANCE: Every processor has been tested and verified for stable operation prior to extraction.
Gold Contact Pads: Underside land grid array (LGA) pads are clean, unoxidized, and free of scratches or residue.
Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS): The nickel-plated copper lid is flat, clean, and free of deep gouges or structural warping, ensuring optimal thermal transfer to your CPU cooler.
Functional Integrity: Verified to post cleanly, pass multi-core stress tests, and support dual/triple-channel memory configurations.
Key Features
Genuine Intel Factory Architecture: Guarantees 100% electrical and instruction-set compatibility with Intel X58 chipset motherboards and enthusiast BIOS environments.
4 Cores & 8 Threads: Equipped with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology to handle simultaneous multi-threaded workloads, legacy gaming, and multitasking efficiently.
Turbo Boost Technology: Dynamically accelerates processor frequency from the base 2.80GHz up to 3.06GHz when thermal headroom allows.
Triple-Channel Memory Support: Engineered to interface with high-bandwidth triple-channel DDR3 memory controllers on compatible LGA1366 motherboards.
Symptoms This Replacement Resolves
Dead System / No Post: Replaces a fried or permanently damaged CPU that prevents a legacy desktop or workstation from booting.
System Instability & Blue Screens: Resolves random crashes, thermal faults, or memory controller failures tied to a degraded processor.
Platform Upgrades: Provides an authentic processing upgrade for older LGA1366 systems seeking quad-core multi-threaded capability.
