it depends on what cpu your computer has in it. most i could find out about your computer is, it ether has a am2+ or am3 socket and it uses a Phenom ii x4 cpu


Download CPUz, it will tell you what socket you have and the cpu. Then post back and let us know.

Is it an athlon ii x2 250? If it is then the b55 will be a slight improvement. I couldnt find anything on the athlon ii x2 50

The phenom IIX2 B55 is better then what you have, so if you can get it then it will boost your performance a little bit.

OK, So now my question would be what do i need to make this work or better. How would i go about unlocking it ?
What cooler should i use or can the same one work? Do i have to change the P.S.U. to unlock it and if so what should i go to 550 or 600 Watt P.S.U.? And is there a certain kind of thermal compound i need to use or do u recommend ?

if you case is big enough and you have the budget then look at the cooler master 212 evo, its cheap and does a very good job cooling. Your next mover after that is the noctua d14 or d15 but those will run you in the $75-100 range.


As for unlocking the cpu i have no idea, I've always ran an intel cpu so as to overclock and unlock them i have no idea.
